Michael Shrieve - Transfer Station Blue (edit) by Kevin Shrieve published on 2014-03-04T00:34:50Z This is a 4:22 edit of the 12:08 track from the 1984 album with the same title. My brother and I visited Klaus Schulze, staying at his home studio in Germany, in the wizard's workshop in the woods in winter. The walls were lined with patch-cabled analog synths. It was kind of magical trying to draw out from him our favorite kinds of Klaus spaces. Back in NYC (where we were both living at the time) I wrote the TSB parts over a long spacey track called "Communiqué". I was kind of shocked that it had those parts in it, waiting to be found! Then in a NYC studio Mike and Will Lee locked in the groove, Hiram Bullock added a smooth chord part, and I played all the guitar melodies and overlaid the Wurly piano and some synth counter-melodies. I'll always remember sitting right next to Will Lee while he laid down that groove with Mike, and the intensity of their concentration. It was deep, like a force field! A while later, back in San Francisco at Stephen Hill's Hearts of Space studio, we rearranged TSB, cutting up the tape and moving the sections around. (no ProTools then!) Mike recently created this edit. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/transfer-station-blue/id194910880 Genre percussive space music Comment by Tommy Mandel Perhaps my favorite piece of music ever, if one can say.
