Yes. It is wretched. A collection of things lifted off internet, magazines, and cobbled together in grade-school writing fashion.

The reviews I've read are very varied. Some give it 5 stars, or a bit less and consider it great, while some others are very negative about everything, including the printing quality.

I bought the book. Let's say I was disappointed....

**Echoes** · 3 Weeks Ago

Sadly, there is no good Klaus Book out there.

Klaus complains about sequencers, says he "can't hear them anymore" and that it is too repetitive, in 1982 when he made "Trancefer", which is completely sequencer driven.

And from then on his music only got more and more "sequenced"...

Reading the negative reviews I've seen, I doubt I will buy it.

Yes, that is a contradiction, but maybe he was just in a been-there-done-that space for a moment when he told me that.

I guess so, he seems like a very spontaneous person, in his music and also in his talking.

I wonder if Klaus would still agree today with what he said in 82.

He disagreed many many times with himself when he was still alive, then...

that's what I thought when I was hearing him talk about the benefits of computer drumming: it was suiting his purpose at the time, at the expense of objectivity.

I don't have the courage or time to listen the second half.
