Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

LAYERED "DUMMY HEAD" AUDIO EXPERIENCE
- MARCH 1974 ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
CODE III
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- Germany - DELTA ACUSTIC ?– 25-125-1
- Original ...1974 RARE ORIGINAL Highlighted by "dummy head' 3-D technology, said to be an out of this world experience using headphones ... cosmic krautrock with hints of Pink Floyd's UMMAGUMMA + loads of tripped-out sound effects!
- CODE III really was a project put together to simply showcase the Kunstkopf Artificial Head Recording System. Studio engineer Manfred Schunke was the man behind this and he brought in American multi-instrumentalist Ed Key along with his wife (vocals) and Apama Chakravarti who played tambura, harmonium and added vocals. Manfred asked Klaus Schulze if he would be interested in participating in experimenting with this new technology and he not only said yes he helped in the renovations to the studio. Klaus was back on the drum stool once again for the first time since his playing in Ash Ra Tempel.
"Formations / The Genesis" is the almost 18 minute track to get us warmed up. We get different spacey sounds coming and going to start as distant sounding spoken words arrive before 2 minutes. It sounds like thunder before 3 1/2 minutes. A haunting atmosphere at 6 1/2 minutes followed by more spoken words. Running water falls effects come in as it continues to be haunting. Birds then come in chirping as acoustic guitar joins in as well. Flute-like sounds join in after 9 minutes followed by reserved vocals as the birds and guitar continue. This is great, it reminds of "Ummagumma" PINK FLOYD song as it's quite folky. It all gets more passionate then we get vocal melodies before 13 minutes then vocals 15 minutes in. Spoken words and atmosphere take over 16 1/2 minutes in. What a ride that was !
"Dawn Of An Era" opens with faint words then a line is repeated "Man is coming" over and over. Loud bangs come in then native chanting. This is quite haunting too.
"Countdown-Phoenix Rising" opens with female vocal melodies and harmonium. Faint spoken words before 2 1/2 minutes as the vocal melodies stop. Another person speaks over top of the first person who continues. A third person starts yelling in anger as in "You God damned motherfucker I'll beat the shit out of you" towards the second speaker as the first speaker continues the music melody. Yes this is insane ! The tempo rises in after 4 1/2 minutes. - This is great ! Klaus is pounding away on drums then the vocal melodies join in a minute later.
- The tempo picks up before 7 minutes. Some strange shouts after 8 1/2 minutes then it picks up even more. So good. Silence 11 1/2 minutes in until faint sounds can be heard before 13 minutes. Spoken words too then a beat takes over and speeds up. Loud strange sounds after 17 1/2 minutes then we get a reprise of the music from the first track that mentioned sounds like FLOYD when they play in that folky spacey style in "Ummagumma".
This album sounds amazing with headphones on. It's the Artificial Head technology !
