What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Ulrich Schnauss has left the world of independent music and signed to Independiente (sounds independent but it isn't) with his new EP called Quicksand Memory. Wow.... long gone is the electronica and it's been replaced by some sort of shoegazey indie rock. It sounds EXACTLY like a cross between Slowdive and U2. He's gone for the bucks by the sounds of things which is kind of weird cos I think what was good about the previous records has been lost in translation and I can't imagine doing this as well. Shoegazing was always in the music but now it just sounds like late 80's Creation indie.... Which is no bad thing I guess.... I don't like this though... I'd much rather listen to Slowdive.

What the label says:

Since the release of Ulrich’s first album under his own name entitled ‘Far Away Trains Passing By’ he has been slowly seeping into people’s consciousness, with the lush instrumentation and the emotion of the elegant, simple and beautiful music.  Yet nothing was to prepare his growing army of supporters for this next record ‘A Strangely Isolated Place’ which slowly came together during 2001 into a record that really showed some of Ulrich’s youthful indie influences.    His debut album under his real name established his pedigree as an outstanding electronic composer, but somehow he managed to take it further by developing his interest in songwriting for electronic music, borne of his love for such giants of the independent world as My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields and Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie.    Since the release of both albums Ulrich has been asked to work with and remix a host of artists including Mojave 3, Longview, Johannes Schmoelling, The Zephyrs, Lunz (Roedelius) amongst others.   ‘Quicksand Memory’ features two beautiful remixes from Cocteau Twins’ guitarist and mastermind Robin Guthrie.
