"Blackouts", is Renastered Reissue 2012. as SHM-CD.

"In Blue", deluxe edition 3cd is Originally released in 1995, In Blue first saw the light of day as a double CD. Featuring Klaus old friend Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Temple) on guitar in both the studio setting and the bonus live recording. The Special Deluxe 3CD Edition of In Blue is housed in a stylish digipak with an enhanced booklet, including new liner notes and photos.

Quickly onto the bonus CD of live work. Three tracks, 53 minutes. The first of the tracks,'Musique Abstract(live)',(7.02) has a distinctly bootleggy feel to it as Klaus dispenses a little wit with the audience introducing this encore piece. The second track,'Return of the Tempel 2(live)',(13.51) is an excellent piece of modern electronica. Drifting string pads moving into a more rhythmic section featuring tons of riffs, percussives, dramatic filtering FX and Mr. Gottsching on guitar. All in all sounding like an electronic funk jamming session by the time it ends. Where's Herbie Hancock when you need him???

'Out of the Blue 2(live),(32.20) seems like an inappropriate title for this piece as its not remotely like anything from the original 'In Blue' album set. Not that l'm complaining for one split second though as what we have here is a live recording of 'Cellistica' from the 'Audentity' album. It's a brilliant recording of brilliant music, but with no audience interaction at either end of the piece it sounds just like a chunk of studio work, it sounds that good!!!!!

The when and where of the 3 performance's remains a little sketchy, though we are told that the second track featuring Manuel originates from a 1997 radio transmission. This live disc probably wouldn't stand up on its own merits as a must have album, but as a bonus l think it makes a very very welcome addition to this sizable disc set. (B22)
