Ulrich Schnauss

Show Description

Ulrich Schnauss is a German producer of ethereal electronic music which calls to mind such diverse influences as Chapterhouse, My Bloody Valentine and LFO. After much unsigned work under some aliases, the CCO label released his debut mini-album, "Far Away Trains Passing By". The album became a critical hit in the UK and gained more and more listeners through the next couple years as it seeped into the far East and America. Due to strong word-of-mouth and a devoted following, his follow-up album, "A Strangely Isolated Place", was an even bigger hit. He has also started branching out with collaborations and remixes with Longview (keyboardist), Mojave 3, I'm Not A Gun, Justin Robertson, The Zephyrs, and more. He is currently working on "Goodbye", his third album set for release summer of 2007.
