And remember he had a song called "Death Of An Analogue" on his
"Dig It" album, with a mourning (though unintelligible) vocal part -
actually very nice song, despite the title.

There is a clear break in Klaus Schulze's music, at least to my taste,
albums which I love and then suddenly albums I find extremely boring.
The big surprise is that this break (speaking of my peronal taste, of
course) does not happen "between analogue and digital". I love
the very digital sounding "Trancefer" and "Audentity" records. I don't love
them as much as "X" or "Dune" ("Heinrich von Kleist" from the "X"
album is the best piece of music from any artist ever, for me!), but
they have the same "feel" and "drive" as the older analogue recordings.

The big break is a different one - when he switched to Midi.
"Babel" and "En=Trance" I find boring, and "Dresden" I find impossible
to listen.

Lately there was some better stuff from him again. "Totentag" is
interesting.
