Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - Farscape

German electronic musician Klaus Schulze invited Dead Can Dance's one half Lisa Gerrard to work on a double-disc album entitled Farscape, set to release on August 26 through Synthetic Symphony.

Originally offered as a digipack earlier, the forthcoming double CD album contains seven tracks totaling over 150 minutes worth of electronic melodies.

"I have wanted to work with Lisa Gerrard since the days of Dead Can Dance, but I never had an opportunity for such a collaboration. It's also not so easy to reach her on the phone," said Schulze.

"I know Klaus Schulze since Tangerine Dream. He is amazing, I mean, his work is sympathetic to a soul journey and has been for such a period of time," said Gerrard.

Gerrard and Schulze is currently on tour. Check on their site for the dates and locations.
