It was originally released in 1975, and is Schulze's first solo album to use a [sequencer](/source/Music_sequencer), something which would become a mainstay of nearly all of his work going forward. It features cover art by [Urs Amann](/source/Urs_Amann), who also provided artwork for several other Schulze albums. *Timewind* was awarded the [Grand Prix du Disque](/source/Grand_Prix_du_Disque) of [L'Académie Charles Cros](/source/L'Acad%C3%A9mie_Charles_Cros) in 1976, and in 2006 it was the twenty-second Schulze album reissued by [Revisited Records](/source/InsideOut_Music), with an extra disc of bonus material. ## Overview Like many of his other albums, *Timewind* contains only two songs, each taking up an entire side of a vinyl record. Both track titles are references to the nineteenth-century composer [Richard Wagner](/source/Richard_Wagner). [Bayreuth](/source/Bayreuth) is the [Bavarian](/source/Bavaria) town where Wagner had [an opera house](/source/Bayreuth_Festspielhaus) built for the first performance of his massive [Ring Cycle](/source/Der_Ring_des_Nibelungen). [Wahnfried](/source/Wahnfried) is the name of Wagner's home in Bayreuth in the grounds of which he was buried in 1883. "Wahnfried" is also a name used by Schulze himself for several albums. Compositionally, the album represents somewhat of a turning point for Schulze, marking the start of his foray into what would later be termed the [Berlin school of electronic music](/source/Berlin_school_of_electronic_music), or simply Berlin School. "Bayreuth Return" was recorded on two-track equipment in one take, and is essentially "live in the studio". Its rhythmic basis is a single [analog sequencer](/source/Analog_sequencer) pattern, transposed and manipulated in real time. [String synthesizer](/source/String_synthesizer) chords, improvised melodies, and complex sound effects are the remaining elements. "Wahnfried 1883", in contrast, is a slow piece that was composed and multitracked. Its main building blocks are layers of slow, shimmering pads and lines. The kaleidoscopic key changes without obvious 'home key' may be seen as a musical nod to Wagner. An excerpt of the graphic performance score of "Wahnfried 1883" appears on the back sleeve of the original vinyl version. The deluxe edition bonus track "Echoes of Time" is a longer alternate take of "Bayreuth Return", while "Windy Times" was recorded in 2000 and previously appeared on *[Contemporary Works I](/source/Contemporary_Works_I)*. ## Track listing All tracks are written by Klaus Schulze.
