Ulrich Schnauss, Classic or Dud?

new one is a bit dull so far and he's starting to rip himself off something rotten

title-track is golden and lovely though ^_^

I didn't know there was a 2-disc version of Far Away Trains Passing By, the second disc is just as good as the first one

I still don't know that album. Sometimes when you get on the train at the supposed leap forward it's hard to track back

its amusing that the simplest music always seems to be the most polarizing. not that what he's doing is simple-minded or anything, but the music is very overt in what it's trying to do.

it's not like ASIP is particularly obscure in its intentions either!

nah. but I kinda like it, for that reason. like BOC without the whole "oooooo this is spooky tape music, maybe there's a GHOST in the room!" element

it's p much direct shoegazing ecstasy, sunny-day melancholy unfiltered

but then i guess there are songs like 'medusa' that could have sparked entire movements of michael bay electronica on their own (but didn't)

I picked up one of his CDs for a buck at a charity shop and it's really gorgeous

ok I got ASIP now and yeah this is very good, definitely better than Far Away Trains

amazed this man hasn't made a mint in soundtrack work

This reminds me. I bought an album he was involved in recently, played it once, then filed it somewhere. Can't remember who or what it was called though. Shit. Far Away Trains is so good. The rest of his stuff is just rehashing the same feeling. You probably don't need more than 5-10 songs of his to experience the entirety of his range.

and that was easy to find, thanks Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/Ulrich-Schnauss-Jonas-Munk-Passage/release/9725721 - This is the album. It's decent but not great.

Something new on his Bandcamp page

Free?

name your price isn't ... well, if you want, I guess, sure.

this Synthwave thing is pretty okay
