Ulrich Schnauss
Biography
A somewhat mysterious producer from Berlin, Germany, Ulrich Schnauss debuted under his own name in 2001 with Far Away Trains Passing By. Released by City Centre Offices, the album seemingly came from nowhere and wound up on several journalists' year-end favorites lists, impressing many with a beguiling level of charm that referenced the shimmer of the Cocteau Twins and the beat mining of the Black Dog. 2003's A Strangely Isolated Place, which was much closer to shoegaze than U.K. techno, was followed in 2007 by Goodbye. Schnauss has also had his hands in a number of other projects, including Hexaquart (minimal techno-house) and Ethereal 77 (drum'n'bass), in addition to engineering work for a number of other artists. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

I have to totally agree with bqullo9, definitely great to work by and to chill by also, and I too always instantly recognize a U.S. song when it comes on. Great stuff.

i realize everytime this guy's music comes on, i start nodding and bopping to the groove of every one of his songs. Kinda brings a smile to my face. Nice work Ulrich!
|
||
I saw him LIFE in San Francisco, CA 2 years ago in a small venue - it was the most remarkable concert
|
||
I just heard "As If You've Never Been Away" for the first time. I've never heard of Ulrich, and I'm digging it.
|
||
love his music...lets your mind wonder..impr o v e s your mood..I listen while at work and it makes the drudgery bearable...
|

Ulrich's music has been my greatest find in 2008. My favorite is still his 'Far Away Trains Passing By' album.
|
||
I really like this artists originality and ability to capture the sounds of true emotion.
|
||
His album "Goodbye" is one of my favorites, from what I've listened to already.
|
||
Saw his album "Far Away Trains Passing By" in borders and investigated on the net and bought it a couple of days later. I love the album and has shot up in my ranks of best albums. I still have to check out his other works but "Far Away" I listen to whenever I'm doing some artwork.
|
||
so many layers of lush pleasantries evading my ear canals, dancing on the skin of my drums. sensational!
|
||
Been listening to Ulrich for 2 years now. This is the only music that I can listen to over and over. Every time I hear one of his tracks, I catch new nuances and things that my ears haven't picked up on before, absolutely amazing. If you haven't heard Goodbye, you owe it to your ears.

Like others, I was introduced to his dreamy sound scapes here at Pandora, became a fan instantly. I have since purchased several of his albums. It's been a long time since I have listened to an artist with such unique rich sounds, well written tunes that feel right. I still get goosebumps while enjoying his creations.
|
||
One of the few artists I've come by on Pandora that I have been "introduced" to- and will form a life-long following of. The first was Royksopp- also a great tag.
|
||
Beautifully complex evocative! Music like this is frequently cliche, but not this!
|
||
Transcendent a l magic for quiet moments of introspectio n - noel

Ulrich has been my soundtrack for the past couple months. It is beautiful and simple. The more you listen the better it gets. To me, it has the best qualities of Air and Boards of Canada mixed together.
