Klaus Schulze (born 4 August 1947 in UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}}) is a German electronic music pioneer, regarded by genre fans as the "Godfather of {{Trance}}".

Schulze began his music career as a member of Music/TangerineDream, before leaving the group over {{creative differences}} with frontman Edgar Froese. Shortly thereafter, he formed a new band, Ash Ra Tempel, with bandmates Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke. Less than a year later, he chose again to leave a newly formed group after only one album, this time to mount a solo career. Since then, he has released more than 60 albums over the course of his long and successful career.

He has occasionally recorded albums under the pseudonym of "Richard Wahnfried".

* EpicRocking: One of Schulze's trademarks. In fact, it would be easier to list the number of Schulze tracks with a length of under five minutes than those with a length of over five minutes. It was not uncommon, especially in the 70s, for a LP of his to have only two songs, each about 20 to 30 minutes long. And the advent of the CD allowed him to get even further, with lengths over 40 minutes actually being the norm rather than the exception.

** "Bayreuth Return" and "Wahnfried 1883" from ''Timewind'', as well as Schulze's alternate name, are references to the works of Music/RichardWagner. The former refers to the town where Wagner built for the first performance of ''[[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung Der Ring des Niebelungen]]'', while the latter two refer to the name of the composer's home, where he was buried upon his death in 1883.
