The Dark Side Of The Moog Vol. 9-11 (Box Set)
"The ‘Dark Side Of The Moog: Volumes 9-11’ Boxed Set contains 5 Discs (3 Original Albums, a Bonus DVD-Audio Disc of ‘DSOTM-11’ in DTS 5.1 Surround Sound and a Schulze & Namlook - ‘Live In Hamburg’ Bonus CD, all in Jewel Cases and packaged in a Presentation Card Box with a Pull-Off Lid that features New Artwork and Liner Notes.
Klaus Schulze and the late Pete Namlook made 11 ‘Dark Side Of The Moog’ albums together throughout the 90’s and into the new millennium for Fax Records, a now defunct “Experimental Electronic Ambient” music label founded and owned by Peter Namlook. Most releases were restricted to relatively small and limited quantities, and as such much of its catalogue of releases has now become highly collectable!
During the naughties, Fax off-shoot label: Ambient World re-issued several Fax tiles. These included most of the ‘DSOTM’ series, but these were not around for long and have also now become thin on the ground.
The ‘Dark Side Of The Moog’ title was a play on PINK FLOYD’s massive album title, as were the track titles on each album, and while the music bore no resemblance to FLOYD’s what so ever, the track titles quite cleverly gave the music notoriety in places where it might have been missed altogether.
With regard to the mastering of the ‘DSOTM’ albums – it is exactly the same as the original FAX mastering - by Pete Namlook himself – as the label felt it couldn't be done any better.
The 4th disc in this set is the Bonus DTS 5.1 Audio of ‘Dark Side Of The Moog-11’ and it was mixed and mastered by Pete Namlook.
The 5th discs in this set is the Bonus CD that is: ‘Live In Hamburg’, which is Previously Unreleased in this unedited form, but: edited by Pete Namlook this concert formed part of: ‘Dark Side Of The Moog - Volume 8’
Label advisor and "Schulze" specialist Ecki Stieg thought it could be a great bonus for the fans to release the concert from Hamburg in its original form (incl. the audience, which was deleted in the ‘Volume 8’ version."
