"La Vie Electonique" Vol. 5 contains music of the years from 1976 to 1977.
“Berlin Schöneberg“ was recorded in 1976 at a Berlin radio concert, "Vie de rêve" is a
concert from the same year, recorded in Reims in France.
„Nostalgic Echo "and "Titanische Tage” are also solo concerts from 1976.
A year later “For Barry Graves” has been recorded - a short concert for the West German
Radio broadcasting show „music extra 3“.

CD 1, on the one hand, contains the second part of the Oberhausen-concert, with
"Schwanensee" on the other: two solo pieces which were recorded in 1976 in the studio in
Hambühren.
"Fear at Madame Tussaud's" was recorded in April, 1977 in the London planetarium – at
that time a novelty, for it was the first time that a concert was held in a planetarium.
"Zeitgeist" is a concert which was recorded on October 17Th , 1977 in front of 5500 people
in the Saint Michael cathedral in Brussels, "Inside The Harlequin" is the encore of this
evening.
The recording date of "La Vie Secrète" cannot be exactly determined after all years any
more. Recorded either in 1977/78 or 1975 this piece remains a very quiet, almost meditative
jewel.
In contrast to this stands „Barracuda Drum“, recorded about 1978 with Harald Grosskopf on
drums.
Last but not least at the end of the third CD we encounter the Klaus Schulze of 1979:
In October and November that year Klaus Schulze was on tour with Arthur Brown ("Fire").
"There was Greatness in the Room" is a fragment of the encore of concert from October, 29th
1979 in Brussels. The specific thing about this recording: Beside the voice of Arthur Brown
the vocoder-voice of Klaus Schulze is also to be heard …
