Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

Yeah been too long.

This is a very different sound for him:

Nice writeup on astrangelyisolatedplace.

And from RA:

"My music taste changes every eight to ten years, I think," Schnauss told RA's Ben Oliver in a recent edition of Machine Love. A Long Way To Fall seems to be a case in point, with stronger rhythms and lead melodies than anything he's put out in recent memory. Schanuss explains it this way:


"Throughout the last decade, I recorded three albums that were trying to translate the early 90's shoegaze aesthetic into an electronic context. After finishing the last album, Goodbye, I felt a need for a change of direction... While I had spent a couple of years mainly listening to songwriting based music (a lot of 'indie'/band-type stuff), I was now rediscovering my love for electronic music based on more open structures. This provided the main inspiration of trying to record an album that would celebrate the synthesizer as the very capable musical instrument that it is, but without the need to disguise them behind a wall of echo and reverb."


A Long Way To Fall is due out early next year on Domino and Schnauss's own label, Scripted Realities. It will be preceded by visual pieces for the tracks "Ritual In Time And Death" and "I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance," the latter of which will also be released as a single with remixes from ASC and Tycho. You can stream the title track right now via SoundCloud.

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

I don't like it, sorry.

[Garrick]

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

i'm with sbando... do not care for "a ritual in time and death" at all. way different sound from him. 'a long way to fall' sounds more like a typical US song. i dig it!

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

It's either same same or too different. Tough crowd!

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

There have been a few disappointing new records from some of Ambient's big men, I don't know what sounds they're looking for but again, didn't like it. A few fans didn't like Ulrich's Shoegazer phase, shit happenz.

Re: Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way To Fall

this album is a bit of a letdown from what we usually expect from him,
it doesn't take you on a journey as a whole, as his previous ones did.
But i enjoyed few of the tunes that have his signature sound we know him for.
hes collaboration with asc is pure ear candy tho.
