Ulrich schnauss

[The Liberal Elite]

I'm sure that you haven't ALL heard of this person, so I'll say how great he is, and the people who have heard of him can back me up.

I *LOVE* electronic music, and you've got your boards of canada and whatnot, but schnauss's stuff is just so 'pretty' and IMO gets better with every listen, that i'm a touch surprised that he's not more well known

he's got 2 album's out, Far away trains passing by and A Strangely Isolated Place and they're as good as each other.

and... here are some tracks to leech off of some site! the first is from the second album and the other two are from the first one.

this is the part where you rip the tunes to shreds.

[futureshock]

Truth.

[Uncle Mike]

Yesyesyesyesyes.

[Lazychu]

Monday Paracetamol is one of the finest bit's of electronic(a) I've ever heard.

[superfunk]

His fame is spreading gradually. He's got a track on Sasha's new 'Involver' album and he's collaborating on Way Out West's new album.

His music is achingly beautiful in places and has that happy/sad, optimistic/retrospective quality that the best music has.

Try and track down some of his remixes on Soulseek too. He has a track with a French singer named Celine called 'Secret thoughts' which is lovely.

I used to prefer 'Far Away trains...' to 'Isloated Place' but now it has switched around. The latter is a little more complex and diverse.

So, um, yes go and buy his albums. Immediately.

[Lovelyman]

I listened on Futureshock's rec ages ago and I really like it.

[Uncle Mike]

I also have Futureshock to thank for the beautifulness.

[The Liberal Elite]

Excellent! so a load ofpeople who have already heard of him are saying he's great. Where's the love from the newbies?

How's this thread working out for you, Duncan?

[The Liberal Elite]

BRIWYANT

and to think, I'm usually kind enough to comment on other people's favs!

Here.

Like that 'on my own' track.

cheers.

[Wintermute]

Hmm, nice.

Reminds of Beaumont Hannant and the early Artificial Intelligence stuff.

Especially seeing as how you went and posted mp3s and everything. Maybe they're not visiting the thread.

You should have called it "Great new depressing lovelorn identikit indie band thread". That would have had them flooding in.

I got "Isolated Place" on Uncle Mike's rec. I guess that makes me a second-generation Futureshock recommendee.

Pah - in that case you're a third generation superfunk recommendee

Here's Ulrich. He has crazy German hair:

[jeff mills gran]

aye, its not half bad. nice one dunc.

[Mr Do 71]

he's got 2 album's out, Far away trains passing by

Just this minute ordered it

[Laine]

I'll try it when I get home.

[futureshock]

You're all bastards. Nobody responded to my Karsten Pflum recommendation.

And it's still the K-9's gonads. And I'm hosting it on Soulseek as we speak.

I shall be giving it my full attention when I get home. Now stop sulking

[futureshock]

/goes off to mope/

[Wintermute]

While we're on the subject of mad Germans*: Go get some Christian Kleine.

Lovely BOC-esque beats and lushness.

*He may not be German. Sounds like it though.

[futureshock]

And add Hermann & Kleine to that list of 'lovely, pretty and soulful electronica'.

Their Kickboard Girl E.P. is very much in the vein of Schnauss. For instant smilage, download 'Sitting next to you'. Lush.

[Wintermute]

Not exactly instant: Remotely Queued.

I'm gonna pick up his new 12" too, when I go back to get some fucking evil Klakson electro. Just for balance, see.

[futureshock]

PM'd.

And whilst we're on the subject of stunningly beautiful electronic bliss, get a hold of Donnacha Costello's 'Always A Part'. It's been the anthem for my past couple of weeks and shows no sign of getting tired. Sheer, pure, undiluted melancholic awe.

[The Liberal Elite]

also, if you don't have Global Communication's 76 14, go out and buy it NOW.

Fucking AMAZING album.

[Wintermute]

Cheers, Futureshock. I'll check them out.

Fucking AMAZING album.

TRUFAX, right there.

[The Grand Pursuivant]

I got A Strangely Isolated Place on Futureshocks rec. It's not really my kind of thing, but it's great to put on and chill out to when you're stoned off your tits.

[Wintermute]

You should all get this too:

Bochum Welt

[Mr Do 71]

You should all get this too:

Bochum Welt

I've got his Desktop Robotics single, which has the free Pacman game on it. But I will get that album at some point, Boomkat's review has sold it to me.

[Gique]

mmm ulrich schnauss..

saw him play a few years back.. top shit

his arrangements remind me of an electronic version of the cocteau twins in their heyday...

and yeah! buy that bochum welt LP!!!
