Free Music Review: Robin Guthrie for the win.
Hit: 4 Stars
More than anything, this EP is more proof that virtually no one does shoegazer music better than the Great Master himself, Cocteau Twins' musical genius Robin Guthrie. (Kevin Shields is really his only rival.)
The shoegazer rock movement of the late 80s and early 90s was of a duration too short, thanks mainly to an underappreciative British music press. Fortunately, a handful of musicians never got enough, and have ventured to continue and develop the art. Ulrich Schnauss is a fine artist -- thanks to him, we have the immortal "Never Be the Same" and other very good works -- but with this EP's "Gone Forever" and "On my Own," we hear once again that one of the great wellsprings of shoegazer music is the fruitful master of his domain.
Rob McVey's version of "Look At the Sky" is excellent, as well. All in all, _Quicksand Memory_ is a must-buy for anyone who likes the lazy, melodic, layered, reverberating, cascading sound that typifies shoegazer rock.
First rate stuff!
Quicksand Memory Poster
It's been over six years since Schnauss introduced the world to his wonderful blend of electronic textures and shoe-gazer aesthetics featured on his debut, "Far Away Trains Passing By". It's also been four years since "A Strangely Isolated Place" hit shelves in his native Germany and cemented his place among the elite electronic artists. That album combined the early 90's Creation Records' sound of pioneering acts like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine with modern electronic tapestries. "Quicksand Memory" brings Ulrich's musical drought to an end, featuring two new tracks and Robin Guthrie's re-workings of two of Ulrich's most celebrated songs, "Gone Forever" and "On My Own". Look for the upcoming full-length, "Goodbye", in June.Dance & DJ Music CDs
