Innovative Communication

Richard Wahnfried is the side project of Berlin electronic pioneer Klaus Schulze. The pseudonym's etymology comes from Shulze's admiration for Richard Wagner. The name Wahnfried was previously used in a title from his "Timewind" album. The project has started in the late 70's. Musically it alternates Schulze's usual synth material in his solo works and a handful of instruments as guitar, tribal percussions, saxophone thanks to the collaboration of several famous rock musicians. Each album features guest musicians as the vocalist Arthur Brown on "Time actor" (1979), Schulze's friend and guitarist Manuel Gottsching (Ashra Tempel) on "Tonwelle" (1981). Carlos Santana's drummer Michael Schrieve also participated on several albums. The result is orientated to more mainstream genres with a constant exploration in electronic, "space" synth music.

Music or Movie? The big picture in "Waitin' For Your Call" reminds you of a b/w Bogard movie, the lover waitin' at the phone, late at night, excuses, love, hate, drama. "Good Morning L.A." is just that: sunny, jazzy good and mellow. "Where are You" in both versions memorable, the vocals right on. "Syntasia" a hommage to the powerful sounds of Keith Emerson and to Eddie Jobson's brilliance.

Double Fantasy was formed in the summer of '85 by Charly McLion and Dreamstar, both experienced studio musicians. The idea to Double Fantasy developed out of a relaxed studio/session atmosphere, where the trying out of various new sounds and melodies created a fresh kind of beautiful electronic music, pictures of some laid-back moments. The result is timeless Fantasy Music to dream and relax with.

Night Lines (1993). Terry's use of guitar blended with acoustic and synthesized instruments is almost perfect. Local Australian talent at it's best, Terry and his friends have created a wonderful music style with undertones of Deep Forest and Single Gun Theory. This is his third album, and like the others, is hard to find and virtually unheard of in local stores. How can talent like this be overlooked? It is hard to put this music style into a music store category - Ambient Jazz & World Music - don't quite hit the mark, but if you like browsing these sections of your favorite music store you will enjoy this unique experience. What he lacks in height he makes up for in talent.
