ULRICH SCHNAUSS + JONAS MONK - PASSAGE
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 6:50 pm
This the 2nd effort from Ulrich + collaborator Jonas Monk, and I must confess I haven't heard / purchased the first....but based on this I will absolutely do so.
Whilst I'm strongly reminded of both the sound design of HELIOS and the guitar-scapes of ROBIN GUTHRIE (ex-COCTEAU TWINS) throughout, this is overall a lovely, understated, and beautiful release.
A few tracks don't quite do it for me - lacking I think Ulrich's solo + single-minded + quality efforts on NO FURTHER AHEAD - but the opener AMARIS is worth the price alone.
It's electronic music Jim....but not as we know it.
