Free Music Notes for GoodbyeFree Music Review: Ulrich's Shoegazer Album Hit: 5 StarsA lot of reviewer's totally missed the point of this album. Yes, it's more rock and guitar oriented than his first two albums, but that's the point. As Ulrich Schnauss's electronic albums have always been heavily influenced by bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, Ride, Lush and The Cocteau Twins, this time he pays literal homage to the genre by basically recreating a rock album electronically. The results are layer upon layer of sound, that for some will take a while to fully emerge. Give this album a chance, and you will see the depth of its beauty. IMO, Ulrich can do no wrong. Also check out the excellent remixes he has done for other artists.
Free Music Review: Schnauss fizzles out? Hit: 3 StarsUlrich Schnauss's previous albums "A Strangely Isolated Place" and "Far Away Trains Passing By" are as good as it gets for this type of music, masterfully balancing the up-beat & ecstatically joyful with the poignant (depressive). By comparison "Goodbye" falls short, sounding mostly murky--with minor-mode harmonies and far too many Enya-inspired whispering vocals. A weariness and defeatism permeates most tracks. For someone who likes mostly classical that's not good enough to inspire repeated listening. Let's hope for more like the first two albums, which are in their own--transcendentally beautiful-- class.
Free Music Review: Nice.. Hit: 4 StarsWell structured, lush and melodic; sort of in the vein of 'My Bloody Valentine'. Very nice production. Recommended.
Free Music Review: Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye Hit: 4 StarsExcellent followup to Far Away Trains Passing By. Completes the series.
If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed.
Free Music Review: Great! Hit: 5 StarsAs with all Ulrich Schauss music, this is excellent. But it does not live up to the high quality of Far Away Train Passing By. If you like this type of music however, you should own this album.
