In a mad rush to push the envelope of technologic and rhythmic experimentation in electronic music, melody has become an afterthought. That's why Schnauss's music is a breath of fresh air; a serene marriage of solid songwriting and panoramic arrangements. He's brilliantly combined the finest ambient electronics of Eno and Boards Of Canada with the textures of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive to create music of astounding emotional resonance that appeals to both camps simultaneously. His music has also crossed over into the world of indie rock, public radio, and even The Grammys. "¿Passing By" has become the consensus favorite off one of his previous albums, "Far Away Trains", and was handpicked for inclusion in Cameron Crowe's "Elizabethtown". This 12-inch also contains an exquisite remix of "Monday Paracetemol" by Mojave 3, "Wherever You Are" (from the rarities disc included in Domino's re-issued "Far Away Trains"), and "In All The Wrong Places", which is one of Ulrich's most gorgeous songs.
