Ambient

Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler both surface in 1970, two German experimenters whose early sessions already run on shared hands — Hans Ulrich Weigel and Thomas Keyserling recur across both their credits, while Klaus Freudigmann threads through the same recordings and Edgar Froese turns up as a recurring presence binding Schnitzler to Schulze. That German core sets the spine, and in 1977 the baton crosses to England with John Foxx, tied back to Schulze through the mastering engineer John Dent, whose work links the two catalogs across the channel. In 1982 Simon House enters the line, extending the thread another step down the years. The arc holds quietly until 2005, when The Field arrives as the most recent credited name — the far end of a chain that began with two 1970 sessions and the steady recurrence of Weigel, Keyserling, Freudigmann, Froese, and Dent. The lineage lives in those repeated names, hand to hand, session to session, from Schulze and Schnitzler all the way through.
