A must-have for serious chillout electronica enthusiasts Dec 27, 2005
By Dean-Ryan Stone
"dhry"
Man, I'm sorry I missed Ulrich's North American concerts earlier this year. This is one phenomenal album, even better now that it's bundled with some bonus tracks. Schnauss's music is catchy, well-composed and perfect to listen to over and over again. My favourite is track #2 - "Between Us And Them" - which I must have listened to literally hundreds of times over the last two years - it is hands-down THE most instantly likeable tune I've ever heard. "Far Away Trains" is my absolute top pick of "cruise music" - coasting down Arizonan or Californian highways with this guy in your ears is magic. Some tunes are a tiny bit derivative - one can hear more than a passing resemblance between Schnauss' "As If You've Never Been Away" and U2's "With Or Without You" but heck, I like BOTH songs. In summary, simply track #2 alone makes "Far Away Trains" worth purchasing, the other tracks are awesome too and most will grow on you. Do yourself a big favour and get this.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all... Jul 12, 2007
By Matthew J. Cooke
"grufnut"
Don't get me wrong, I love music...but my tastes are pretty narrow in the overall scheme of things. I'm a mad electronica and dance music fan, like some more alternative rock, some mainstream...but not much. I also don't write reviews very often (probably more because I go on about other things instead and stay away from the topic at hand...oh well...
But then I came across this gem. My favourite artists are Depeche Mode, UNKLE, d*note, Cinematic Orchestra, Faze Action, Beastie Boys, Slowdive, Ride, etc, etc...I love them all...but this - this is something special. Yes there are aural soundscapes, yes there are gently evoked moods and rhythms (we've read it all before), but this is music that touches your very core. It talks to you and folds you into its melodic conversation. And THAT doesn't happen often. Buy this...and then buy everything else that Mr Schnauss has done. For what it's worth, I don't recommend music often, but this is absolutely beautiful.

incredibly beautiful sonic soundscape Nov 10, 2005
By L. Wagner
"lane"
this individual is truly gifted in the art of creating soothing yet moving emotional waves of sound. perfect for driving, hanging out on the beach, skiing, flying, working, love, and background ambience for a dinner or party. Undeniably my favorite artisian in the musical spectrum as of late. Not only is this most recent stateside release ethereral and revered but is first stateside release " A Strangely Isolated Place" is exceptional as well.

one of the greatest of all time Sep 13, 2006
By S. P. Edwards
"Fretboard Lover"
i first found this album whilst sifting through the likes of Boards Of Canada, Leggo Beast, Bonobo and the like, but never before have I come across an album that is so absorbing,a nd so refreshing to listen to.
Perhaps the best way to listen to this album is if you have to travel alone, perhaps fittingly on a train, and just listen to this and stare out of the window, and you'll be as suprised as I was at how much this beautiful music makes your mind wonder.
The only down side to this album is that it doesn't seem to last long enough.
Do yourself a favour and buy this album!!
If you're after similar vibes form different albums, check out 'From Here To G' by Leggo Beast, 'The Campfire Headphase' by Boards Of Canada.
Also try searching myspace for Orka Veer (whose album can be downloaded for for free off of his page), and Low In The Sky.
