Reviews
- Edited one year agoLush, warm, gorgeous. This is a terrific re-issue on a quiet pressing. Turn it up and just get lost in the sonic textures. Must have.
- Another pre-order resource for the remastered LP - https://boomkat.com/products/a-strangely-isolated-place-2020-remaster
- This album has everything to do with shoegaze - sound and structure except with electronics, not guitars.
- This album has nothing to do with shoegaze. If anything, it's heavily influenced by Boards Of Canada and the indietronica scene of that period.
- Edited 17 years agoFar Away Trains Go By was awesome, but I prefer this one. As the fifteen people before me said, its stuning and amazing masterpiece. When I listening this album I feel like driving thru the road of my lifeline with rises and declines. This is the BEST THING that I ever heard... without any shadow of a doubt !
- Edited 18 years agoStrange and isolated.... a place.... hmmm.... desert islands spring to mind, desolated inner city car parks, forests at night or a state of mind..... isolated yes, but strange?
Melodic swathes and swirls of vocals sweep by, bubbly electronica with rhythmic isolation and lenghty formations piercing out of the speakers make a long car drive seem ideal for this CD. Ulrich has created a musical trip reminischent of Manual, that flows from one track to the next with the ease of forgetfullness....
CD on the player, headphones on, and forget the day to day routines. That is what this is about, and this is what the tunes manage. The album builds up from one track to the next, sometimes melancholic (Gone Forever, A Letter From Home), sometimes trippy but poppy (On My Own), generally interesting (Monday - Paracetamol, In All the Wrong Places), occassionally chilly and even beautifully composed(Clear Day, Blumenthal, A Strangely Isolated Place). A few tracks are generally release candidates as singles, and all Schnauss fans are going to like the album. For those not in the know, this is a great CD for those making their first steps into the world of non-commercial electronical music.
