Picture Music is the fourth studio album by German musician Klaus Schulze. It was recorded in late 1974 and released in January 1975 on Brain Records. This is the only Klaus Schulze solo album in which he can be heard playing a drum kit. Prior to his solo career, he was the drummer for Ash Ra Tempel; on his later albums, he would collaborate with other drummers including Harald Grosskopf of Wallenstein or use drum machines. Like many of his albums, Picture Music has one long track on each side.
For many years, various Schulze discographies have listed Picture Music as being his third, with Blackdance being his fourth. However, when preparing a detailed discography in the 1990s, Schulze's biographer and publicity manager Klaus D. Müller researched his personal diaries and discovered that the album did not go to press until early 1975. The album is now identified as a January 1975 release at Schulze's website, which Müller maintains.
In 2005 this was the second Schulze album reissued by Revisited Records.
