Big in Europe
Big in Europe is the forty-second album by Klaus Schulze, initially designed to be released in three volumes over three years. Only two volumes were released in 2013–14. Taking in consideration the previously released multi-disc box sets (Silver Edition, Historic Edition, Jubilee Edition, Contemporary Works I, and Contemporary Works II), it could be viewed as Schulze's one hundred and third album. This series of volumes chronicles Klaus Schulze's European tour with Lisa Gerrard in 2009.[1]
