Ulrich Schnauss is a German electronic artist who is influenced by forebears like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk--but unlike retro-space artists, he doesn't sound like he just emerged from their dusty studios after being marooned there for 30 years. Instead, his synthesizers bristle with contemporary electro-rhythms, a bit of New Wave romanticism, and melodies you want to last forever. Schnauss has perfected a balance between quiet yearning and joyful heroism in his music, with sweeping major-chord progressions that are triumphal without being ostentatious, expansive without being pompous. For someone who is so rhythm-centered with crackling snares and electro-glitches, it's ultimately the melodies that draw you in, turned on glistening, bell-like timbres and space-organ sustains. Far Away Trains Passing By is actually his first album, released in Europe in 2001, but it's been out of print and is being issued in the United States for the first time. The reissue comes with a bonus CD that includes six pieces pulled from various Schnauss side projects and tracks that didn't make the original album. Far Away Trains Passing By is electronica with a melancholy soul, and it has lost nothing in the intervening years. --John Diliberto

Album Description

The long-awaited domestic release of Ulrich's dreamy 2001 debut. His 2004 set, "Strangely Isolated Place" was a hit with shoegazer and electronic fans alike, and toured with much fanfare in support of M83. Includes a 6-track bonus EP of non-LP material

Customer Reviews:

Just when you thought you'd heard it all..........2007-07-12

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.

audio endorphine.......2007-06-27

I noticed Ulrich Schnauss' work listening to Internet radio 'chill' stations, and simply had to have it.

I've been listening to electronic music for quite a long time -- all the way back to Wendy Carlos' 'Switched on Bach', and have tried my hand at it a bit too. Ulrich Schnauss has taken his place among the masters of the genre, and 'Far Away Trains Passing By' is a must-have for anyone interested in electronic music.

His selection and control of sounds and layering is a delight to the ears. The mix invites you to test the limits of your sound system. The compositions are more harmonically interesting than most electronica artists and his rhythmic sense is subtle and polished, and not guilty of the awkwardness or formulaic tedium that too often burdens European artists.

That said, Ulrich Schnauss' work transcends dissection. It is the feeling of love that pours forth -- alienation, yes, isolation, that too, coolness and detachment. But through it all, love. This music is art.

Thank you Ulrich.

absolutely must!!.......2007-05-14

i have been listnin to this for 1 or 2 yrs. now (god bless P2P networks) but i liked it so much that i have ordered the orginal even though it cost a fortune to ship it to India

Ulrich to the rescue!.......2007-05-12

I rate songs according to their 'longevity', and this is one I can listen to over and over. having been disenfranchised by the 'unrelenting' whining of today's 'Contemporary' (whatever the 'genre'), I appreciate music inclined to the 'experiential' rather than the 'self-aggradizement' of individuals void of depth and inspiration. whew! that having been said, the music of Ulrich Schnauss is not for the 'skin deep' or people afraid to be still. 'anger' has become today's plague, and it has infected every arena of every day life. the world needs to chill, and we need all the help we can get. Ulrich to the rescue! Far Away Trains Passing By is a welcomed 2 disc CD (includes bonus tracks) engineered with that in mind. 'Blumenwiese Neben Autobahn' will keep you within the 'posted' Speed Limit. 'Between Us & Them' whispers the promise of a new day. 'Passing By' declares our will to resist. 'Nobody's Home' instills that longing to return for those 'far away'. and 'Knuddelmaus' brings you home, safe & sound. I first heard Ulrich over an iTunes Ambient Radio station, and previewed several of his songs before purchasing 2 albums from Amazon. (A Strangely Isolated Place). I keep copies of both in the car. think I'll call AAA to see if I can get a discount on my policy!

Better than i had expected.......2007-04-23

i was just reading through the amazon reviews etc. and was lucky to have stumbled upon this cd. I must say i am absolutely taken away by the music of Ulrich Schnauss. I have listened to quite a few ambient artists, but Ulrich Schnauss takes the cake. This album is well rounded and you will find yourself listening to it over and over again, especially 'between us and them'.
give this cd a listen, you will not be dissapointed.

Customer Reviews:

two parts Hennessy to one part Lovage.......2007-07-03

Great album, another offering to my iPod from the generous library of Principal Dondelinger. It's at least half tongue-in-cheek but it's all great. I agree with other reviewers who have described the parody as more homage than mockery. The tracks vary but there is a nice consistent feel throughout, so it really flows as an album. The title suggests one way to utilize this music, but I've found this music to have potential even beyond being the soundtrack to the connubial shake-n'-fake. For example, my iPod likes to throw on "Pit Stop" and "Lies and Alibis" when I am walking alone at dusk, rundown by the day and the humidity.

Just listen to it. It's pretty unique. And I love the picture on the cover; I think it might be one of my Dad's nameless cousins from the seventies.

STOLEN MATERIAL.......2007-06-02

"Tea Time With Maseo" in this album contains recordings and words stolen from Alan Lorber's 1969 Groupies album.

Amazing..........2007-03-12

The production of this album is truly amazing. While there's definitely a parody element, the music is still banging. Sexy, fun, and cool. Perfect "music to make love to your old lady by"

weird but great.......2007-02-18

If you think that Deltron 3030 is the best hip-hop album of all time(like me) then you should definetly buy Lovage. Dan The Automator's(Nathaniel Merriweather) production is at its best, and combined with the DJ talents of Kid Koala(Deltron 3030), this album can't be beat. Also the strange combination of vocalists Mike Patton(Faith No More) and Jennifer Charles works perfectly. I totally slept on this album until recently, but this one is almost as perfect as Deltron.

Great Songs, Great Style.......2007-01-27

I've always been a Patton's fan, and this is one of the finest works I've ever heard about him, it's a soft-progressive-rock ballad with a little touch of irony, it's a very nice piece of art, a masterpiece, indeed.

2007 Masterpiece Once More from French Tastemaker Claude Challe (Buddha Bar, Les Bains Douches) in Collaboration with his Brother Jean-marc! While Countless Establishments have Pleaded to Receive the Magic of Les Freres Challes, They Developed a Habit of Turning them all Away. However, a Proposal from Hotel "3,14" in Cannes Intrigued Him. Coomunication with Owner Karine-ellena Partouche and her Team Established Uncommon Sympathy. "so I Went and Discovered the Unique World of this Boutique Hotel. Feng Shui. Ethnical. Transcultural. Pop. Zen. Spiritual. Fun. And Sex-they Sell Sex Toys at the Hotel Shop and a "Super Love Box" Awaits the Pleasure of Customers in Each Room. I Fell Straight for It". So the Brothers Set About Creating the Special Moods for this Most Unique Establishment. This Deluxe Package Includes an Enhanced Video Feature Showing this Magnificent Hotel in all It's Splendor!

Customer Reviews:

Moist, squishy and sublime: SpaceSex.......2007-06-09

The hotel 3,14 in Cannes does for the sexy boutique hotel what Victoria's Secret Infinity Edge Bra did for tight fitting sweaters and tops. This is the hotel's "house" soundtrack and it's everything you'd expect from an establishment that was desperately looking a way to to put the Rrrrrrr into aural sex.

Sonic Shaman Claude Challe and his brother Jean-Marc Challe really deliver with this sometimes smoking other times brie cheesy compilation. I was and continue to be mostly entranced by what Challe conjured with the Buddha Bar comps but I must say, this is really something special! Initially I bought this from Real Music as a download but I decided this was one CD I wanted to keep in the nightstand with my other Karmic Tantric Treats.

It hangs beautifully, the production is epic and well, it works! As I listened to this in my music room my wife came in and wondered out loud why I wasn't sharing this squishy music with her. Well I put this disc on repeat and we let it play through three times. That's two more than we got from Roxy Music's Avalon! Whoa!

I can't say I recognize many of these artists but I intend to find out more. Three standouts IMHO: Grand Orchestre Du Comptoir and Dj Disse's remake of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side. Walk on the Wild Side! you moan - that's not that sexy! Trust me, it is here.

Same goes for the Stone's classic, Painted Black by Sixth Finger. Yeah, I know - what a name for a band!

So obviously I don't know the first thing about writing about music I(or dancing about architecture for that matter) but I know I like this music. I've enjoyed it as much as anything I've listened to this year. Challe's masterpiece makes most of the other themed trancy, downtempt compilations "look" like training bras.

Buy it, get some strawberries, some chocolate, lingerie and maybe a tub of Kama Sutra products and roll around with someone you love. Or dance naked ...

I simply enjoyed the European styled fusion-jazz format. It was a worthy purchase and look forward to more of Mark Gorbulew's work in the future.

Excellent.......2007-03-12

I love this CD the music is melodic with an slightly up tempo beat. Its relaxing but doesn't put you to sleep.

High Expectations Unrealized..........2006-11-12

This is a fair cd. The problem is it is not as good as the first Rendevous Lounge. Round one was a classic with great cut after great cut. Round 2 has good cuts but in my mind none stands out or has a must have quality. As is often the case with movie sequels this cd doesn't compare. However it is not bad as passive background music.

sophisticated overall jazz feel.......2006-04-03

This is a great CD. Each performance has quality song writing, musical voicings and performances. The selections are varied, but related in style and 'energy' so there is great flow.

It is not like some albums which just sample other records and artists, the songs sound Fresh and original. It is also not like 'trance' which repeats one sound/bar/phrase ad nauseum. The selections are varied, but related in style and 'energy' so there is great flow.

Overall, the selections have a sophisticated smooth, brazillian or NY jazz feel. Lots of talent on this CD!

I enjoy this music while walking, working on the computer, doing light chores with my headphones on, or just listening. Great Brunch music on a Sunday morning too!

Love this Rendezvous Lounge CD.......2006-03-23

We previously bought Rendezvous Lounge I and really enjoyed it. It's a little more techno and eclectic. "Lounge II," is more mellow and polished and we love it.

I Love It.......2007-06-23

I just wanted to tell everyone that I love this double disc. Louie Vega is truly House and this is a wonderful example of what the music is all about. New tunes, classics, and artwork are fused together in a package that puts the listener in an art gallery/club setting. I'll come back and talk about this great collection a little more later. I just had to say something about it after my first listen.

Some DJs think they know house music, and then there are those who actually do........2007-06-14

Louie Vega (Nuyorican Soul and Elements of Life) of super DJ group "Masters at Work" is the latter. Truly a master of the craft who proves here that he is deserving of that title "Master at Work". A double CD, 27 track non-stop mix of sexy, soulful, rhythmic harmonious grooves, and tropical beats. I just love it when I pick up an album in which a majority of the songs are above par.

The album "Lust, Art & Soul" is kind of a joint venture between Louie Vega and artist/photographer Jonas Larsson ("Off The Record") in which music and graphic art are fused and play off each other in an artistic image. "Lust recognizes that graphic art and music full of soul can feed off each other, satisfying the eye and the mind."

Even though the CD case is lacking a little in the department of photographs (let alone erotic ones), the music is sexy and erotic enough to fulfill Larsson's theme through sound. I think that this work hits its target and accomplishes what was trying to be done and conveyed.

While some tracks are very housey or have a Latin vibe to them, others sound very retro electric 80's like. But I am not complaining at all, on the contrary I am just pointing out the diversity that can be found from song to song. Thumbs up to Louie for compiling a great album of sexy beats!

Customer Reviews:

A little disappointed.......2007-04-25

I am giving it three stars, not because it is a bad mix, the mixing is very good however based on what I usually buy I was a little disappointed. The first CD I listened to just once and will be dated very fast as you know the originals of the songs and well I was tired of hearing the pop versions anyway. The second cd is the better one in my opinion. I did not care too much for the opening tracks but it eventually gets into a nice groove but with only 12 tracks I was left wanting for more. A decent purchase for those getting into this type of music but I have strayed away from the heavy vocal tracks as I am a passive listener (in my car, on airplanes, waiting in the bank, etc) and have been spoiled on Tiesto and Armin. I am not regretting this purchase but it would not be on heavy rotation on my ipod or CD player.

Thrive Mix 03 vs. Ultra Dance 8.......2007-04-06

Ultra Records used to be my pinnacle of Dance Music. I found myself always waiting for the next Ultra Weekend and Ultra Dance. Since ThriveDance has come to the table I am excited to say I have found a new love! ThriveMix03 was the best dance compilation I've heard in a long time. As I am a huge fan of POP music I was excited to see my favorite artists mixed with underground artists like Peter Lutz and September. Since my first Thrive purchase of ThriveMix03, I have since gone out to purchase the rest of the ThriveMix catalog and I have to say I am yet to be disappointed. Good Work Thrive! I am ready and waiting for your next release!!!!

SO MUCH FUN & SUPERIOR TO ULTRA DANCE 08.......2007-02-07

If you are looking for a great album to work out to, to listen before heading out to the club, or to throw on at a party, this is the perfect CD for you. And if you are a fan of both dance and rhythmic pop music like me, then you'll definitely fall in love with this CD.

I've been a long time buyer of the Ultra Dance series, and I also now have all three ThriveMix CD's in my collection. Overall, I have to say that the ThriveMix discs have stronger tracklists (thrivemix 2 had near identical pop hits as the ultra weekend 2 CD, but I felt that the more `underground' dance songs on thrivemix 2 were stronger and mixed much more nicely), and the thrivemix CDs are sequenced and mixed better. Thank god that Ultra Dance 08 and thrivemix 3 don't have near identical tracklists like thrivemix2 and ultra weekend 2 did. I own Ultra Dance 08 and I have to say that thrivemix 3 has logged in more time in my stereo- it's just a much stronger CD in terms of track selection, sequencing and flow.

My favorite tracks on ThriveMix03 are Cassie, Nelly Furtado, Jewel, September, Brooke Hogan, Basement Jaxx, Gabriel & Dresden, Supafly, Inc., Fatboy Slim, and Oakenfold. I had never heard those remixes of Cassie, Nelly Furtado, Brooke Hogan, and Fatboy Slim before...great choices. The rest of the songs I hadn't heard period, but I am so glad to discover them. That Gabriel & Dresden track is awesome, and I love the Phil Collins sample in Supafly,Inc.

On a side note: others here have complained that Disc 1 isn't mixed well, and I have to say that as a person who mixes himself, it is because there are so many pop/rock hits that have been included on disc one, and these songs can be impossible to mix together seamlessly like you can with two more traditional dance songs (like Tali & Meth and Reina on Disc 2).

Overall, just a really fun CD all the way through and a superior album compared to Ultra Dance 08

Worthy of Ibiza.......2007-06-25

Eddie Halliwell's genius is primarily housed inside his residency at clubs in Ibiza and on BBC. But his talent has been expanding from these venues; Cream Ibiza 2007 is a full-fledged musical testament to this remarkable DJ's feel for mixing fantastic club music, and while many of the tracks are obviously recognizable, Halliwell performs a musical lobotomy on the lot to create something worth purchasing. I've seen that Ibiza-inspired mix albums are a dime a dozen recently, littering music shelves in stores worldwide; 2007 has proven itself a worthy year for the sounds of Ibiza made for compact disc (honorable mentions go to Azuli's Space Ibiza 2007). As an implicit bonus, both discs include Eddie's exclusive re-edits of selected tracks available only on this compilation thus far.

The atmosphere for a brilliant night out in the clubs takes form from the moment the coy rhythms of M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade's classic "Body Language" enter the ear canal. Disc one pumps out a scorching twenty-one tracks, leaving not a dull moment. This is very similar to Steve Porter's "Porterhouse Vol. 2" where many of the tracks are under two minutes long but there remains a sizeable selection of six+ minute tracks as well. Bottom line: No disappointments and no frustrating frills. "High Volume" and "Freak Me" hit hard from the beginning, illustrating one of the most interesting facets of Halliwell's mixing - that there is no unnecessary pretense. As with any decent mix album, there are the inevitable build-ups and breath-catchers. Cream Ibiza 2007, however, employs this formula much differently than the average DJ album would dare to: The first peak, in fact, occurs roughly four minutes into the first disc and each subsequent peak blows my mind with its raw and jubilant intensity!

"Space & Time" lends the introductory hand to the second disc, touching softly on the melodic side of ambience as the introduction crescendos. The second disc is a blistering combination of tech-trance and conventional techno club bangers which not only turn up the heat, but the bass as well (re: "Need To Feel"). Seventeen tracks grace this mix, turning up a potpourri of slightly longer, more ambitious clubbing tracks that certainly do the Cream label a good bit of justice. 4 Strings' "Mainline" introduces a quicker timbre that is as driving as much as it is addictive. Much of the second disc sounds akin to The Thrillseekers' "Nightmusic, Vol. 1": Sonically moving music that soars into the heavens, carrying your mind with it.

I cannot stop moving to this: Cream Ibiza 2007 is probably the best club mix album of the year so far. Eddie's first disc is an unstoppable juggernaut of ecstatic dance floor mania, and it is difficult to put the atmosphere into more proper words. His second disc is a planetarium of wondrous and stunning melodic constellations. Almost every track warrants mention, but there are several that, for me, make the mixes. As far as disc one goes, these include "Freak Me," "Discopolis," "R U Sure?" "Hit Girl" (my personal favorite), "Witchi Tai To," "Volta" and "Faithful Nights." The second disc brings fantastic beats riding on the spines of like-minded tracks including "Mainline," "Open Our Eyes," "Battery," "Fire Devil" and "Volcano." Eddie Halliwell's track selection moves effortlessly between Balearic trance, techno and conventional house to electro-funk and light breaks, lending the soft kiss of coherency to an abundance of scattered EDM styles and producers. Worth the money

The Blade soundtrack matches up with expectations for the film pretty well: there are a few artists who have done some consistently good work, most of whom seem to be slumming it here (KRS-One, Gang Starr); there are a couple trying to change their image and prove that they can be relevant in another context (New Order); there's a completely unexpected appearance by someone you'd completely forgotten about (Mantronik); and there are plenty of forgettable turns by wannabes, could-bes, and should-bes (Mystikal, Kasino, P.A.). The album finally picks up toward the end, with Mantronik's club-hopping EPMD remix, New Order's techno turn, Expansion Union's dance track, and DJ Krush's lounge vibe. --Randy Silver

Good Hip-Hop & Techno Showcase from the Film.......2007-06-04

Blade I soundtrack--
Released on TVT Recordings, the non-score-based soundtrack to the Wesley Snipes action/horror vehicle features a lineup of half hip-hop/rap acts and half techno/electronica artists. The standout cuts include "½ & ½" by Gang Starr & MOP; No Limit Soldier Mystikal's "The Edge of the Blade"; the title track by KRS One and Channel Live; "Confusion" by New Order and "Wreck the DiscoTek" by Roger S. Most curious of all is a house-flavored remix of EPMD's "Strictly Business" by Kurtis Mantronik. The critical and commercial response to this album was mixed; based on certain music message boards, it is surprising that so many techno/dance music fans are glaringly against hip-hop (and vice-versa), since the former genre essentially laid the seeds for the latter. But what could have made for a better compilation would be to have the hip-hop/rap artists team up with the techno/dance producers/artists, and come up with some interesting fusions, like what would happen on the "Blade II" soundtrack.

Did you read the CD Before you bought it?.......2004-12-30

Everyone who rated this album poorly clearly state they aren't into Rap or Hip-Hop. That's fine, but did they read the back of the CD to see who was on it? If you didn't know that Mystikal was rap and not techno then you shouldn't have rushed out to the store and bought the cd.

It is Inspired by the movie, with Wesley Snipes' oversight.
Some tracks, such as Gangsta Bounce, are so fabulous you'll be very disappointed when you can't find anything else by them.
With vocals about the supernatural, good vs evil, and fat beats, you can't go wrong.

With the addicting New Order's song Confusion also on the track waiting to get you hooked, to Junkie XL, this is one album that's truely Dealing with the Roster, with style.

The cd can appeal to those of us who have a wider variety of taste instead of "just" Techno or "just" rap.

From the wonderful thoughts of The one and only, Music Tyke.......2004-04-30

Yo, I like the tracks. I mean, yeah, some of what I WANTED wasn't on the CD but I'm one of the go getters who doesn't mind searching for what I want. I like the CD for what it is. It is a rather well compiled cd of Techno and Rap. Not a lot of people could have pulled that off. My favorite tracks are 4, 6, 7, and 11-15. I especially love Tracks 12 and 14. Very nice. All of you that want to dis, thats fine. You feel you wasted your money, ha, well next time, go to amazon and sample the songs before you buy it.

Bad stuff........2004-02-20

Rap. That's what you will get out of this soundtrack. Unfortunately I wasted my money, not only on this CD, but the Blade II CD as well! Take it from me folks, if you don't like rap, don't buy this! It is total junk! Considering the movie was very good, the soundtrack is absolutely AWFUL!!!!!!!!!

get this for the DJ Krush track.......2003-11-20

I bought this cd thinking there was going to be more techno on it. That dissappointed me but now that I am more into hip-hop the first part of this cd really isn't that bad. It has some decent rapping on it but the gem on this album is the DJ Krush track. That song is worth the whole cd. If I'm correct, I don't think his track on this soundtrack appears on any of his albums and it is one of his best tracks. The techno section in my opnion gets old quicker than the hip-hop section of it, minus the DJ Krush cut. Not a bad cd but if your expecting all the techno that was in the movie, this album is not for you because only 1/4th of the album is techno. I still recommend it though.

* * * * * The VERY BEST PAZZ-JOP CD of 2003!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-05-06

Elegant smooth sophisticated soul/jazz. So hip. So chic. So cool. If only more people could experience it! It deserves 10 STARS. Each song (except the last one!) is so PERFECTLY arranged, cleverly written, and PERFECTLY performed. It is so definitely a guilty pleasure--it is much too much POP to qualify for jazz, but the constant jazzy overtones are the best. Did I mention the clever lyrics? And so listenable: I could listen to this for days on end ... and sometimes I do! There are a handful of CDs/albums that you can say that about. IT IS WORTH THE $$$.

Excellent jazzy/lounge music.......2005-09-21

I bought this CD in 2004 and have listened to it many times since then... better in a beach, or even in a small party with close friends or family...

still in love.............2005-03-14

I bought this CD maybe 3 years ago.........and i am not tired of it at all.....still groovy, still goooood...a little funky....brings a smile in your face all the time..sound is wonderfull....De-Phazz are sound magicians!!!! Can say tgis is still my #1!!!!!!!!!!!

The most significant discovery in years.......2004-02-27

De Phazz are simply the most exciting group I have heard in what seems like a lifetime. Theirs is music at its best, the kind that everyone at our parties asks "what IS this music, it is fabulous". Do yourself a favour - if you want music that is varied in style, 99% brilliant, 100% easy on the ears, and very, very smooth, buy this album. After that, I expect you will investigate their other offerings, "Godsdog" being of similar quailty.

A nicely lounge music/jazz feel.......2002-05-22

The sound that De Phazz puts together here is not necessarily original. A lot of the tracks here are simply slightly better variations on that bossanova/jazz/soul sound that is getting increasingly popular and swamping car ads across the country. This stuff is the middle ground between downtempo and house, with a little swing music thrown in. When it's bad, it can be kind of annoying (check that ubiquitous Mr. Scruff tune "Get A Move On".....ugh!). Here it's not annoying, far from it. The first tune "Heartfixer" is a good variation on that style, even though I'm pretty sure I heard it on a commercial the other day. Oh well.

Much of the rest of the album is given over to warm soul tunes with good vocal work, sort of a warmer and more upbeat Zero 7. And better than those snoozers too! This album is only available on import on CD and on LP. I saw this on vinyl at Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, for any vinyl lovers in the L.A. area. Anyway, if this is your type of music, it's definitely one to check out. It's surprisingly good and not at all generic.
