Klaus Schulze

Briefly a member of Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze was a German electronic music composer who put out more than 60 albums over five decades during his solo career.  When listening to his music, I noticed that it was very repetitive, but that didn't quite matter.  Almost like ambient music, it's something that I don't really get tired of.

I'm crossing my fingers that these will work...
