Klaus Schulze - Goodwill (Studio 1991)

Goodwill, (Jubilee Edition CD 9) is a different mix of the shorter After Eleven from The Dome Event. Goodwill has a 30 second longer introduction including the sounds of a man running, people talking and cheering. The underlying sequence that begins two minutes into After Eleven is nearly identical to that of Goodwill, although the alternating pattern of urgent and contemplative sections differs. The interesting finding is the identical melody line from both tracks is processed differently. In After Eleven the sound is distinctly piano like, while in Goodwill it sounds like a plucked string instrument. Goodwill is extended over After Eleven by the addition of a three-minute strolling, whimsical section beginning at 8:15. Overall, I like the variety of Goodwill more, even though I think the piano sound in After Eleven enhances the melody line more than the string sound. -- David M. Cline (autumn 2000).
