Ulrich Schnauss – Far Away Trains Passing By

“Simplicity at its best” – Future Music magazine’s album of the month, Nov.2001 “the best electronic record this year” – Other Music, NYC. Ulrich has released a considerable amount of tracks under a host of names and for a host of labels (some of them would really surprise you), this is the first collection of tracks that Ulrich has felt strongly enough about to put his real name to. This is one of those albums that touches everyone who listens to it – simple, uplifting, reminiscent of a variety of things you can’t quite put your finger on. Names like Herrmann and Kleine, Boards of Canada, Arovane…all come to mind – influences, for sure, navigating Ulrich on course to creating one of the most complete and addictive electronic LP’s around – old drumboxes, synths, breakbeats, combined with genuine warmth and emotion.
