Drive Inn Vol. 1 & 2

He was also the head of the Rainer Bloss Sextet and a member of the band Wir. His virtuosity as a keyboardist, his very own compositional style, which at the same time allowed uninhibited improvisation, were the perfect prerequisites for a partnership with Klaus Schulze. After Rainer Bloss made his mark on the Klaus Schulze classic "Audentity" (1983, MIG01322), a nine-day tour with Klaus Schulze through Poland followed, which is featured in the famous live album "Dzi 281;kuj 281; Poland" (1982, MIG01442).Rainer Bloss had already outgrown the role of guest musician, which is evident not least from the fact his name appeared on the cover on equal terms with the names of both artists as the first real joint work. During the long car journeys between the performances, the two musicians were often annoyed that there was hardly any music on the radio for long car journeys - and so the idea was born to record an album that was exactly suitable for this purpose.

Drive Inn Vol. 1 was produced in September 1983 and is a concept album in which every track revolves around driving a car. Framed by "Drive Inn" and "Drive Out", you are invited on an acoustic car journey, in which you both rest and linger.This concept was taken up again by Klaus Schulze and Rainer Bloss three years later: Drive Inn Vol. 2 bears Bloss's clear signature here, Klaus Schulze composed the fnal "Highway" and was primarily responsible for the mix and production.

For the first time, the legendary first two albums in this series are lovingly remastered and re-released after they had not been available for decades.
