Yes Schulze discovered he can put 80 minutes on one CD ...
You're not wrong
It would have been about this time (mid to late 80s) that many artists started to release their music on CD, so i guess Schulze was no longer limited to 2 pieces running no longer than 27 or 28 minutes each when he released an album as he was in the 70s.
I have most of his albums, and while i do appreciate and enjoy longer compositions, i will admit that Klaus really can take a while to say everything he's got to say in a piece of music.....
In complete contrast i've been listening to a lot of Michael Garrison lately and he tends to be the opposite in that he is master of the short track. I can't think of anything he's done that exceeds 15 minutes, infact most of his tracks are well under 10 minutes.
One of the benefits of CD of course is that many of those vintage Schulze concerts from the 70's have now been able to be released in their entirety in editions such as Silver, Historic etc.... without having to be edited down to meet the constraints of vinyl....
Be at one with the sequencing.....
