Mirage
is one of
Klaus Schulze
's best albums. It is certainly among the eeriest e-music sets ever. He created it as "an electronic winter landscape dedicated to
Hans Dieter Schulze
." It has somewhat of a symphonic structure. There are two main pieces:
"Velvet Voyage"
and
"Crystal Lake."
Each piece has six separate movements with
experimental
sounds serving as the recurring themes. The album has cold and icy textures that take listeners to the brink of the winter solstice. The
timbres give the set a sci-fi feel. This is vital space music. It will appeal to fans of
Kevin Braheny
,
Richard Burmer
, and
Mychael Danna
