Big in Europe
(2013)

Big in Europe is the forty-second album by Klaus Schulze, released in three volumes over two years. 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 Gerard in 2009. ^[1]
