Artist: Ulrich SchnaussAlbum: GoodbyeYear: 2007Genre: Ambient, Electronica Description: Melodic, extremely listenable ambient music. It has elements of trance and downtempo, but is definitely ambient. Slight female vocals like some of the more ambient Bent. Some of the beats remind me of Chicane, but make no mistake, this is original and unique music. Download: filefactory, rapidshare password: egersin.blogspot.com

Earlier: Interview: Ulrich Schnauss
Ulrich Schnauss' third studio album, Goodbye, has just arrived. In the wake of its relese Filter27 contributor Florian Wizorek caught up with the man from Kiel, Germany, who now lives in London to talk music, inspiration, and philosophy of life.
Hello Ulrich. We had to wait for your new album for quite a while. Why did it take so long?
I had to deal with some extraordinary difficulties. On one hand I started working on this album later than expected as there had been too many interesting gigs and remix opportunities I wanted to accept. On the other hand I had a very clear and precise vision what the new record should sound like. Finally I made it though and I am quite happy and satisfied with the results.
An appropriate record label always plays a major role. Which label-related aspects are important to you?
It is important to have at least one person always at your fingertips; a close label contact, who can understand you and follow your train of thoughts. For a year Dave Boyd
The count of suboptimal publications is alarmingly high in times where releases are merely acting as a makeshift to sell more or less skilled entertainment abilities such as live or DJ gigs. On the other hand real quality music rarely disappoints and rescues people from that swampland of instant-soup-like music, produced by just adding hot water.
Such a quality album just arrived the shops as Ulrich Schnauss, whose music is a small phenomenon already, releases Goodbye. Despite his success story Schnauss still manages to be down-to-earth. In contrast his achievements and his reputation opened the doors to interesting projects already; for instance when contributing additional remixes to Depeche Mode, Destiny's Child or Way Out West.Maybe this success story's recipe is: there is no recipe at all. While other remixers often use same structures, Schnauss' reworks are unstressed, fresh and independently standing creations, often appearing in different outfits and altering moods.

German electronic artist and producer Ulrich Schnauss will release his long-awaited third artist album, Goodbye, through Independiente / Domino Records (US) in July.
After a considerable amount of tracks released under numerous aliases, Schnauss' 2001 debut Far Away Trains Passing By slowly seeped into peoples' consciousness and became an electronic classic. In 2003 he released A Strangely Isolated Place - an album which has become a genuinely word-of-mouth record that truly established Schnauss as an outstanding electronic composer.
According to a recent press release, Goodbye is the end of a chapter in his sound. "I see these three albums as moving closer to something I wanted to do right from the beginning but didn't quite manage," he says. "Merging songwriting and indie elements with electronic music. I've tried to take all the ideas to the maximum."Continue reading "Ulrich Schnauss releases Goodbye">
