> Never heard of Psy Free, >though it should be noted that Ash Ra Tempel was previously known as the >Steeplechase Blues Band (then, as always, under Gottsching's leadership) >and changed their name (and sound) when Klaus joined up. Psy Free was an unrecorded "free rock" band that Klaus Schulze was in in Berlin in the late 1960s -- apparently amazing, but as far as I know no tapes or other materials aside from a few black and white photos exist. Pity, that. >A previous poster, in reference to a Gottsching/Schulze box might have >been a bit confused (or is more on top of things than I am, which >admittedly isn't that hard to accomplish). There have been numerous >Schulze sets released (one a 20+ CD monster), as well as a Gottsching/Ash >Ra Tempel 6 CD set, entitled _Private Tapes_. I am currently eating sawdust and Macaroni and Cheese because I broke down and ordered that KS 50 CD box set, as well as a bunch of tapes of live Tangerine Dream and Schulze bootlegs, including Schulze and Can together and Tangerine Dream shows pre-1970. Ouch. Anyways... as far as Goettsching/Schulze info, here are some pertinent links you all may or may not know about. www.klaus-schulze.com (official site) www.ashra.com (official site) www.manikin.de (they put out all those big box sets) www.eurock.com (a guy in the US who has been dealing this sort of stuff for years and years now...) -Piotr
