Notes[]
When Schulze got the offer to produce the score for a porn movie, he rejected at first, but as he met Lasse Braun and saw the film, he accepted. In fact Lasse Braun had played older albums from Schulze while shooting, so the rhythm was perfect.
All tracks including the 2005 reissue bonus track were used in the movie, even more music by Schulze can be found there, which did not make it on the soundtrack. Other non-Schulze music used in the film was the title song "Body Love" from Jimmy Reeves and additional instrumental music by a certain Henry Mann (Ray Scott in other sources).
The original cover shows a still from the movie, photography by Etorre Castellano. Later issues had the white drawings from Charles Mikael as cover art.
In 2005 BODY LOVE was the ninth Schulze album reissued by REVISTED RECORDS as part of a series of Schulze album reissues. The reissue bonus track Lasse Braun is from the same recording session.
