X

X is one Schulze's epic masterwork, with a strong emphasis on epic. This album is obnoxiously long, and most people probably couldn't get through this album in one setting. Fortunately, this music is fantastic enough to make its full running time ignorable, for the most part.

I won't go much into detail about each track individually (c'mon, I just finished three final exams and a long research paper), but this whole album is an amalgamation of Klaus Schulze's best work and the best of the progressive electronic rock genre. If there is anything that you've ever liked about progressive electronic, it's here on this 2 disc set.

Electronic experimentation, sonic textures, dark ambient atmosphere, driving beats, accentuating percussion, soaring synths, spatial noises, chamber orchestra arrangements, hellish drones and exciting buzzscapes are all here. Do yourself a favor and purchase this album.

P.S. - Disc 2 is the best part.
