Just when his listeners think they have him pegged,
Klaus Schulze
surprises them. On
En=Trance
, he follows his usual pattern for a while, then goes in a totally new direction. This album has Berlin school sequences and overt rhythms, but the sequences are extended and the rhythms do not dominate.
Schulze
uses deep atmospheres, symphonic synths, and
experimental
sci-fi sounds to create these trance-inducing soundscapes. The drawn-out sequences have atmospheric textures and the symphonic synths are smooth and direct. This is one of
's stronger efforts. ~ Jim Brenholts
