For more than 50 years, the composer, musician and producer Klaus Schulze rolled out his extensive sounds and played his legendary sequences. In close consultation with the relatives of the Electronic legend, who passed away in 2022, SPV is now revisiting the archives of the master of the Moog synthesizer. With “101, Milky Way,” the first release of the renewed collaboration will be released on November 15, 2024 via SPV Entertainment.
Watch the official video teaser to “101, Milky Way” through the youTube player below:
“101, Milky Way” is a real treasure from Klaus Schulzes musical legacy. It is one of those Klaus Schulze works that absolutely need to be presented to the world, and as such it is part of our obligation to share all of his music with all of you.
And of course the genesis of this album – as always – has its very own history:
It all began at the end of 2008 with an enquiry from a German film production company asking if Klaus would perhaps create the score for a planned film documentary about computer hackers. In the end, this turned into a complete Klaus Schulze album, from which the director of the documentary film “Hacker” – Alex Biedermann – was only to use small parts as soft background music. With “101, Milky Way,” the complete work created in 2009 is now available for the first time – it is a greeting from Klaus‘ new cosmic home somewhere in the universe.

“Klaus Schulze’s music has never been as relevant as it is now. The world has finally caught up with a true pioneer. More than ever is Klaus’ work the perfect balance between the soul and technology. Electrons as messengers of romance. Acute and profound understanding of electronics as conduits of all things human. A master, an influence and influencer on countless others, still connecting us all with a deep sense of humanity and mystery.” – Hans Zimmer, December 2021
