the two great names of progressive electronica - Berlin School. personally it depends on my mood... right now i'm on a TD mood... it's more imediate, more "punchy". KS i tend to hear when i want something more sophisticated, more subtle.
what about you?

Mirage and X are more inspiring to me than the TD albums I know(Stratosfear, Phaedra, Rubycon) so I vote KS. As for the Berlin school, I prefer K/Cluster to both.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Welcome, Navarre. I like both muchly, but choose Klaus Schulze (besides I can also vote for him for his work in Tangerine Dream). ;) I'm putting on Mirage right now. Love his work. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

I voted for Schulze. If the poll was restricted to the 1970s I'd probably have voted for Tangerine Dream, although even that would be a close call, but I think that KS has continued to progress and to make good albums throughout his career, whereas Tangerine Dream pretty much ran out of steam in the early 80s.

Er ... I have just tipped the poll in favour of TD. Cannot personally get into Klaus Schulze's music, so the choice was very easy. -------------  "Music is the Wine that fills the cup of Silence" - Robert Fripp |

| Another vote for TD from me. Whilst I like what I know of Schulze's work, I prefer TD. |

Very hard for me tuo decide... I adore the music of both.... Still Schulze's output looks more consistent for me, as TDs albums sincemid 80s generally suck. |

TD are untouched in the electronic world. Their style is so... relaxing, it's a pleasure to listen to every time.

Well, I've always preferred Klaus myself, and still do. But both are greatly enjoyable to me. I just find Klaus to be more consistent and....well.....more ambient somehow. Plus, I can listen to and enjoy Klaus' work from 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and enjoy it. With TD it's really only 70's and half of 80's that I enjoy. |

My vote goes to Tangerine Dream, they're excellent especially Rubycon and Phaedra. I'm afraid I've never heard any Klaus Schulze - shame on me!!  -------------

Klaus Schulze without hesitation. Consistency of sound, style and his mastery of using drums, cello, voice and odd other instruments without turning to the dusty lands of the strange 'new age' stuff that Edgar Froese does these days. TD went badly off the rails after Melrose. Proggy Pogo: never heard KS? You're in for such a treat! Moondawn, Kontinuum, Mirage, X, Picture Music are highly recommended. X is a bit heavy but regarded as one of Klaus's finest productions. |

Considering both int the 70's and early 80's (since then I don't like their music so much), I voted TD, because although I like KS music, TD has more varied albums.
What they were doing:
TD KS
Early 70's Obscure and cosmic experimentations the same experimentations
Mid 70' Pure Berlin School of Electronic (Voyages) the same, pure Berlin School
Late 70's Progressive electronic Pure and absolute Berlin School.
Early 80's Atmospheric Photomural Music ;) Rubbish? (for me of course)
KS music in the seventies is like standing on a desvastated planet watching a life form putting light spheres in space which it found on the red sand . . .
TD in the seventies is like a kid falling asleep after school and having a very strange dream, waking up and finding the nightmare is not over, all over again and again and again . .
love them both, actually

I like them both, but I think TD is more focused in general. Their albums feel like carefully considered compositions whereas KS often has a tendency to slip into synth-improv-noodly land... for an hour and a half.

| Sorry, I don't really know any of them, but I've seen in a CD shop in town a Klaus Shulz CD about the story of the Nibelungs (Rheingold - Live at Loreley) which looked very interesting, however it's not so well rated on Progarchives (as a matter of fact, it's only got two ratings), so, anyone knows if it's really that bad, or could it have some interesting things? |

TD just ahead of KS for me.

Let's see: 70-73: Schulze 74-76: Tangerine Dream 77-78: Schulze 79-82: Tangerine Dream 83-now: Schulze, light years ahead! So looking at their entire careers Schulze wins this one. |
