A quick note about changes to the US Postal Services international postage rates for packages: I'm sorry to say that as of 2013 the US Postal Service has significantly raised the cost of shipping packages (even to Canada). Unfortunately this is affecting all US sellers and international buyers. My shipping prices reflect the new shipping costs and the eBay fees for the shipping you pay as well as packaging material (I do try to recycle when I can but that's not too often). If the US Postal Service reduces rates, I will adjust them to reflect fair postage for international buyers.

The encyclopedia of Electronic Music says:
Clara Mondshine is a pseudonym. The musician is male (real name - Walter Bachauer). Berlin School electronics in Klaus Schulze style with experimental trends on later works. Because these albums were released on the legendary IC label, many people believe that Bachauer was German, but according to Klaus Schulze, he was an Austrian living in Graz. He committed suicide in 1989.
From Recordrobot blo g:
This, I suppose, sounded pretty weird, fringe, and experimental in 1983. At least to people who didn't spend part of the 70's listening to stuff like Eno/Moebius/Roedelius/Plank. There are a lot of familiar sounds, many of which make me think Clara used some of the same equipment that New Order used, but there are also some sounds that I've never heard. One of the songs, Chipmania, uses a trick that Boards of Canada use on songs like nlogax, where things aren't quite right, but the rival discordant notes somehow create something right.
The kicker? Clara Mondshine is not really a Clara. In fact, she's not even a she. Real name: Walter Bachauer. He put out a few albums under this moniker before evidently committing suicide in the late 80's. This one came out on famed German electronic legend Klaus Schulze's Innovate Communication label in 1983. The most accessible tracks here are probably the title track and Metasamba. The scariest is O Queen of Saba.
From Discogs:
Walter Bachauer was a composer, musicologist, journalist and radio director. He founded the Meta Music Festival in West Berlin which took place between 1974 and 1978. AKA Anatol Arkus, Clara Mondshine, Fabian Arkus.
From Popsike
One of the most unusual albums released on the Klaus Schulze label imprint. Has six tracks that have a Berlin electronics flavor but with a lot more going on from ambient minimalism to strange experimental pieces heading into industrial territory with some Eastern sounds creeping in. A very striking, attention getter.
