Body Love 1 [CD]

Klaus Schulze - Body Love 1 [CD]

"Re-issue of the classic Klaus Schulze album Body Love, original released in 1977. Klaus Schulze about the origins of Body Love: 'I received a call from a movie producer named Manfred Menz and I wound up becoming his principal composer for a period of time. Amongst others, I composed the Barracuda soundtrack for him. This led to a friendship which lasts till today. He called me and asked if I would compose the score to a porn movie. I said: 'Porn? Nah, I don't do that kind of thing.' As it turned out, the director of the movie, Lasse Braun, had already shot it and had used my albums Timewind [1975] and Moondawn [1976] as a kind of 'working soundtrack.' This was obvious because the couples in the film were moving in time to my grooves! They were almost done with the film, and they were now looking for the final music. First they tried it with normal pop music but that didn't work out. So Lasse said to Manfred 'Let's simply ask Schulze to compose a soundtrack that's similar to Moondawn! Besides, there wasn't too much dialogue in it so you could let the music run through it all the way. Therefore I didn't need to write two minutes here, three minutes there until the next piece of dialogue or sound effect occurred. I had the opportunity of delivering a genuine composition."
