CD Klaus Schulze – Richard Wahnfried's Time Actor

Experience a foundational moment in electronic music history with this 2022 remastered reissue of Richard Wahnfried’s Time Actor.

Originally released in 1979, Time Actor marks the debut of "The Godfather of Techno," Klaus Schulze, under his Richard Wahnfried moniker—a pseudonym inspired by his deep reverence for Richard Wagner. This collaboration features the legendary "God of Hellfire" Arthur Brown, whose proclamatory, spoken-word vocals lend the album a cold, avant-garde conceptual tone.

While Schulze is celebrated for his pioneering Krautrock and ambient works, this release makes a compelling case for him as a progenitor of trance and progressive electronic music. By blending rigid, pounding synth lines and percussion with MIDI orchestration and fretless jazz-fusion bass, Schulze creates a hypnotic, mind-bending soundscape that bridges the gap between orchestral pomp and "Italo disco" stiffness.

Key Highlights:

• Artist: Klaus Schulze (as Richard Wahnfried) feat. Arthur Brown
• Genre: Electronic / Trance / Avant-Garde
• Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered (MIG, 2022)
• Vibe: Darkly conceptual, robotic rhythms, and pioneering synth-work.

Essential for collectors of Klaus Schulze and fans of early electronic experimentation, this remastered edition brings new clarity to a classic of the genre.
