Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard Farscape (2008)

From the start, it becomes clear this for sure is a passionate, and at times even breathtaking album: it blends Schulze’s warm, flowing soundscapes, rhythms and well-paced sequencing with the fantastic, vibrating and very expressive voice of Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, known from the duo Dead Can Dance, but also the soundtracks for the movies “Whale Rider” and “Gladiator”. Thankfully, Schulze hasn't run out of ideas after all these years, and on Farscape, he fulfills a long-time ambition: collaborating with Gerrard. This two-CD set is best described as an extended piece that lasts 153 minutes; that piece, which is titled "Liquid Coincidence," is broken down into seven parts. Schulze handles the electronic programming on this 2008 release, while Gerrard provides all of the vocals--and all seven parts of "Liquid Coincidence" have a floating, airy, atmospheric quality. Some listeners might find "Liquid Coincidence" to be overly repetitive and argue that the piece drags on too long, but to complain that "Liquid Coincidence" is repetitious sort of misses the point. Farscape is not about showing Schulze's diversity; it is about mood, atmosphere and ambiance. Schulze is going for musical hypnosis, and Gerrard's haunting performances help him to achieve that. Yes, "Liquid Coincidence" is repetitive; it was meant to be, and it is repetitive in a good way. Together, Schulze and Gerrard create a hauntingly attractive mood, and the fact that they maintain that mood for 153 minutes is a plus rather than a minus. All in all, the carefully moulded, improvised emotional outcome on “Farscape” is impressive. Highly recommended! ~ Bert Strolenberg
