Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way to Fall (Deluxe Edition, Full Album)

[@RAM_DOS]

Ulrich Schnauss's music is a blessing upon this planet.

[@AetheriusLamia]

+novoneiro Perhaps we can say this more accurately once the world has sufficient infrastructure for music listening and sufficient society for music listening time ... but in some parts of the world it seems this is still lacking.

[@michaelg2502]

+novoneiro Yep

[@thepoweroftruth3624]

I agree

[@nigel0001]

I have been listening to Ulrich Schnauss for years now and i cannot get enough of his music!! I have all of his albums and EP's and i love every track he has ever produced from start to finish. Ulrich Schauss is one of my all time favourite artists, if not my all time favourite! I have never know music to hold my attention for so long and not fade into the background. I can listen to his music day after day. He is a genius, seriously!

[@permaveg]

Just curious but are you is PR or manager by any chance ?

[@nigel0001]

permaveg No i am just someone who can appreciate great music!!

[@permaveg]

Nigel My little jest went under the bridge clearly. Herr Schnauss is indeed quite a remarkable composer/producer I must admit, his music and the album's by Harold Budd called 'Nighthawks' 'Translucence' and ' Drift music' , if you're not aware of them, are also well worth a hearing , like Ulrich's other wordly music, Budd's take's the mind somewhere else where time is not in control and emotions are free to wander.

[@michaelg2502]

+permaveg shut your facehole, you sound like a total ass. Schnauss is a rare talent, I've been listening and loving his music since 2006. Nobody makes tracks quite like him, I put him up there with Orbital, Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins. Respect the pioneers. I made my own electronic music album that I'm proud of and while it's very, very weak in comparison these guys gave me the inspiration to even bother learning how to produce in my early teen years. I didn't read your clarification, sorry. I'll just leave my original comment untouched, certainly touched a nerve lol

[@permaveg]

+Michael Giblock I said he is a remarkable composer/producer and you tell me to shut up and then defend him as though I attacked him ! Time waster.

thank you, from 5 years in the future :)

[@PLATINFERN]

Ulrich. You are a gentleman in a field of egos

[@Reverie_State78]

Ulrich Schnauss' work is a contribution to science...People like him are why Aliens *WILL* talk to us...

[@robertmckechnie7426]

I highly recommend getting lost in a forest with this on your iPod.....

[@chadwickrogers43]

Rob Mckechnie haha .. :;)

[@MysTeri0usMatT7]

While on 5 grams of psilocybin:)

[@MrCH3Z]

Such beautiful music. This music should be promoted and listened to by the entire world. It would probably make the world a better place haha.

[@ThomasMeliWellness]

I'm fascinated by the comments - I find this album (most songs at least) superior to the previous work. There is so much more depth, rhythm experimentation, layering, and melodic novelty. The previous work always seemed a bit boring and overly simple for me. I love the direction and while I can sympathize with people that enjoyed the previous work more - perhaps you should remember that the older stuff didn't work for everyone either. Nothing will satisfy everyone - but there are objective reasons why this album is amazing and why some will like it more than the previous work.

[@michaelg2502]

+Thomas Meli Totally agree! Love this album

[@stephendowney900]

I think the more you listen to the album the more of a relationship you develop with it that is unique, the layering present within the tracks definitely contributes to this. I think there is a lot of depth and emotion behind this album. People are too quick to judge it before giving it a chance

[@jakeblush60]

this album is the one for me too. this one sucked me in hook line and sinker. With his others I just floated on the surface and found it harder to disappear into. I understand the appeal of the others yet this one for me has everything

[@1cmman]

Exactly. I was very dissapointed with this album at first but started to like it more with time. I still think his latests album No further ahead than today, is better though.

[@ga1actic_muffin]

Thomas Meli I agree. I prefer this album because it requires a more sophisticated taste to enjoy. This album is MUCH more idm than his other albums while his other albums, though nice listening, does get older faster. The people who prefer his other albums are just behind and have not yet developed a sophisticated taste in electronic music which can take years of listening to do. Luckily for them though, Ulrich Schnauss is a gateway to a bigger and more rewarding world of electronic music. How do I know? Because I was one of them and there was a time when ulrich's stuff was the pinnacle of unique electronic for me. Then after 14 years of listening to this kind of stuff, I started finding artists like Ben Jordan and plaid, then when I went back to the old Ulrich stuff I used to listen to, it's kinda boring now. EXCEPT this album.

[@taciaamostis6473]

24:38 to 28:06 = an auditory, sensorial, spiritual, intellectual (yes, even without a single word uttered), musical MASTERPIECE! F'n FANTASTIC to drive/cruise around town to... at night, windows rolled down, stereo up full, in the wind... could be during heavy weather... rain... or in the middle of a change in season (particularly, the change from summer to autumn). Smokin' hot track!!! Well done Schnauss! 1000/10

[@giosueboldrin1136]

My new ringtone!

[@LadySpaceAndAce]

Just type in "Rain forest" in google images while listening to these songs and look through the pictures at the same time. So peaceful. I wish I can go to the real rain forest one day and have these songs play on my phone. I would be so at peace.

[@PappyMandarine]

Saphire Nox Try some "HD Electric Sheep" videos instead. It's a completely different feeling, and I advice you to be h5.

[@michaelg2502]

+Sakura Saphire Heh go while you can, take pics so your great grand kids see what their ancestors made extinct

[@sergpie]

@@michaelg2502 Just updating ya here in the future present to let you know that biodiversity is net unaffected or increasing in most areas, with plant coverage on earth increasing exponentially in the last decade; ironically, this has been mainly because there’s more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Feel duped yet?

[@SeeEdRun]

The most underrated music genius on the planet.

[@michaelhoward1583]

A beautiful album, Melodic and textured, music for introspection

[@xxxs8309]

Ulrich Schnauss is the greatest musical Genius in the last 100 years.I have listened to different genres of chill and ambient ,but no one comes close in terms of breadth,originality and creativity.for those who don't know him I suggest listening to one of his top Albums Strangely Isolated Place.

[@peteradamus9648]

xxx s Fully agree. You could not write this better way!!

[@taciaamostis6473]

ULRICH SCHNAUSS is one of the very few artists, that I make it a point to purchase both a CD and vinyl copy of every full length album he puts out. Ulrich is an absolute master at his craft, truly. A naturally gifted, profoundly intuitive, incredibly talented, humbly genuine individual. I trust his musical capabilities, judgement, so much so, that I blindly purchase his works without ever hearing a song first. I have to thank you tube for ever learning about him/his works... seems there is a good side to the internet.

[@geoffthomasphoto]

So far this is my favorite Schnauss album. It's great.

[@michaelg2502]

+geoffthomasphoto me too

[@charlesdawes1921]

Not sure which is my fave. Live in Japan where he starts off with "Enfield" is nice!

[@exionem]

I recommend listening to this great music with a nice receiver/amp and a pair of quality bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. Ulrich Schnauss will sound like you´ve never heard him! You´ll thank me later :P

[@liefwerk]

And this is with the youtube compression!

[@scopex2749]

I first came across Ulrich’s music in the movie ‘Elizabethtown’ a place a love in Kentucky and a moving film. It was one tune I think it was ‘far away trains’? So i spent ages tracking down his albums I now own most of them except this one. This is driving music, I also play it when up flying my aircraft........whatever you do.......whatever nationality.......music transcends boundaries and language barriers. Also as a musician I appreciate what each song conjures up in my mind and the place it takes me to....... Ulrich Schnauss...........you are simply a prophet and a visionary 👍🏻👏🏻 If you dont fly your own aircraft, just put ya headphones or buds i on whatever then listen to this in an airliner as you break through clouds at 30,000 feet.............now THAT is getting high!

[@tomhoffmann2523]

Ulrich Schnauss ist einzig ewiger Grenzgänger,..ein Visionär und Perfektionist!!..

[@natalka9]

Great music, so special. It just feeling like wishing to live with your music. The best

[@irishrogue65]

Thanks to Pandora, this gentleman's name came up and I sampled some stuff from several of his albums and was completely hooked. You can't classify him with anything except that his talent is wide and far reaching. Great stuff.

[@peteradamus9648]

irishrogue65 Fully agree with your comment! Ulrich' music is very special. Thank you Pandora finding and introducing his amazing talent to planet! ULRICH JUST DO YOUR AMAZING JOB!!!

[@hakanlindgren8034]

Love this ambient sound. So vibrating, dreamy and full of life. A great album I think.

[@michaelg2502]

It is! I still enjoy it more than his newest and the album, Goodbye, before it. I've grown tired of his first two albums. This album has i think a deeper reward for listening. Gorgeous

[@SSEnrich]

A forgotten Birthday sounds incredible rich in sounds. Something going on all the time. Many layers and it is still not close to being to much. Perfect.

[@KathleenOlssonNelsonDr]

Awesome. Stupendous. Genius. For starters - that fit's this artist's groove. Really sexy music,with an awesome driving beat. So powerful and climatic. Yeah.

[@mikeshoring]

I listen to all 6 albums and just let them repeat in the car...

[@elongatedwing]

Been listening to Ulrich since high school so about 12 years now. Still some of the most hauntingly beautiful music ever made and soooo soooo underated. When you're having a bad day, put a good pair of headphones on , close your eyes and center yourself again with Ulrich. Keep at it Ulrich your music will live forever.

[@cuntinakia8122]

Schnauss has achieved something that no other artists did for me. I listen to his his first 2 albums since their release and yet they still are not consumed to death. Amazing!

[@cuntinakia8122]

Was Pandora for me too. Now Pandora only is available in the US. But sites like liveplasma.com (which is now down as well) are great to enhance your musical horizon.

[@BasedDad]

This album grows on you over time. I disliked it at first listen, but the melodies would resonate in my mind for days. Upon listening to it a second time and many more, I am blown away by this masterpiece. I think this is one of his best works.

[@cyperbob1971]

Absolutely amazing Album.I love it. Bought the CD last week on Amazon and what should I say? It`s worth every cent! Thank You Ulrich Schnauss for producing such phantastic music !

[@peteradamus9648]

cyperbob1971 Fully agree! I bought this album last week to listen this awesome music in the car. And you know what? I DO ENJOY IT FOR 200% Yeaaaa!!

[@laurentivoli1183]

by the third track I felt some ghosts being released, in pure joy, as tears rolled down my face. Thankyou Ulrich for making beautiful music that very viscerally stirs the soul.

[@michaelg2502]

+lauren anamnesis Beautiful music indeed

[@bekind4285]

LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!

[@Dennzer1]

And the "I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance (Tycho Remix)" is fucking fantastic!

Had the pleasure of hearing Ulrich do some of the songs on this album live on Echoes back when it was a great program. Absolutely magical performance that I'm glad I taped. Unfortunately Echoes sucks now but I'm glad the show turned me on to Ulrich and other awesome musicians like him.

[@fred69fred15]

30:36 A forgotten birthday a masterpiece, touch my brain and heart equally

a forgotten birthday ....this song drags to.............heaven

Good to hear new material from Ulrich. Nice way of presenting the title on screen. Thank you (and Ulrich!)

Wow. Only just got into Ulrich after listening to some stuff on Chill FM.Loved Tangerine Dream whilst living in Germany in the 80's and love this. Back catalogue her I come.

26:49 strikes me in all the right places! Wonderful feat!

[@irena7777777]

Cool, I love them all equally! Very talented guys

Fantastic album start to finish!

[@michaelg2502]

+Arthr agreed

[@willwjl]

a FB friend turned me on to him. I listen to him often. I especially like him while I work.

[@EranFuld]

Literally; blew me away! William Orbit Meets Royksopp but of course a lot of original touch as well. love it :-)

[@joseywailer7624]

...a long way to fall. wow. I've never had a song make me reflect so deeply.

[@mrartboy1]

Never heard of this guy until White Bird in a Blizzard soundtrack....went on a discovery trail, and...yep, he's cool!

[@Tommy-gr2ez]

If you like the White Bird in a Blizzard soundtrack, make sure you get the Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie work they did on that film.

[@new_cold_war_7028]

18:30 just the wonderful intro mechanism

[@MegaCirse]

I always feel like dancing like nobody's watching, like a lonely lead dancer in center stage listening to this kind of music 😏

[@DEadSpaCE211]

Gay but understandable.

[@chaunceyharris2924]

Now I'm in the 'Sunken Place' and I don't wanna 'Get Out'!!!✌🏿️

[@elgregorpl]

I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance reminds me of someone dangerous being good. It's mostly Ulrich's "normal" music, but this initial power sits in the background all the time. Like "Léon: The Professional" or similar themes.

[@nfulena]

The album definitely deserves my patience :)

[@aaronburton9807]

Her and The sea is my favorite out of the whole album.

[@declan993]

Buy the album if you haven't.

[@bluecoldbreeze]

I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance almost has an industrial beat huh. Industrial makes everything awesome.

[@mgress100]

The track around 12:30 is simply orgasmic

Cool. I´m a great BoC-Fan, too. So Schnauss and BoC are of the same kind I guess. And so is the taste of their fans.

[@Shad0wplay]

[@dontcallmejon]

wunderbah uli

[@westend117]

Just wait till you hear his work with Tangerine Dream--an amazing start with "Mala Kunia" that will hopefully continue in whatever new formation of the band takes shape now.

[@AetheriusLamia]

+westend117 Band? Is this not one man?

[@westend117]

+cloudsabove Tangerine Dream is a band, Schnauss, Quaeschning, Baumann at this time with the loss of Froese

[@michaelg2502]

+westend117 I want a new Engineers album, the last one only had a couple decent tracks and the lead vocalist sat out :(.

[@manuelponce9838]

i love ulrich s music - don t know why i m allowed to call him by his first name- i ran to this music at one point don t get me wrong i m not a runner but there is something elemental that makes it good for running i think i prefer the trains double because there s an elemental simple brilliance to it artists have to experiment he s great

[@MomentumModular]

as a long time fan of Ulrich, this is definitely one of his weaker works, along with something like Underrated Silence (2012). This album is definitely "a long way to fall" from his previous, better works.

[@AetheriusLamia]

MrSeriouslySerious Details and arguments would be nice, instead of only stating a conclusion as if it were self-evidently true.

[@MomentumModular]

cloudsabove This comment was meant to be a response to DavidLaLond, but Google+ messed it up. This album lacks the melodic buildup and harmonic structure of previous albums and tracks. Tracks like Monday Paracetamol and Far Away Trains Passing By are examples of some of Ulrich's greatest work. They are upbeat with strong melodies and building drum and basslines, along with harmonies weaved within the different octaves. This album, however, lacks much melody, and instead replaces it with strange experimental noises. The beginning of Broken Homes, for example. Then, the melodies fail to really build up, and instead transition to some weird bass and drum section. Some of the tracks are catchy, and the Tycho remix is definitely a keeper, but other than that, this album has always been a bore to me, remaining underplayed on my music list.

[@AScannerDarkly22]

MrSeriouslySerious I'd respectfully disagree with this. Whilst it is quite a departure from his previous work, I think A Long Way To Fall is all the stronger for Ulrich moving away from his established past sound and moving into more experimental territory. Ulrich has said that he has rediscovered his love for drum and bass and electronic music over the last good number of years (he was also a DnB producer before he recorded under his own name), so this probably had a good part to play in the sound on display here. He said he felt he had done all that he wanted to with his previous sound and whilst I love his prior albums, I think this is a step in the right direction. When I first heard Broken Homes I liked it, but I did think 'Wow, this is really different', but it's actually now one of my favourite tracks he's ever produced - it's rhythmically complex and has real meat to it. Anyway, that's just my opinion - I love the album, so much so that I give the entire thing a listen through once a week.

[@chadwickrogers43]

MrSeriouslySerious Fucking great points !

[@MomentumModular]

Chadwick Rogers Thanks. It's a lot of opinion anyway, but this album is definitely different. Some tracks on here are good, I just cant stand to play through the whole album at once. I have to skip some tracks immediately.

[@megalopolis2015]

This might be one of his mellower works in some ways, but there are some real gems in there, like I Take Comfort in Your Ignorance (24:37), which has some disturbing elements in it, like someone wrestling with conflicting emotions. I have an Amazon gift card, and I believe I shall be buying some Ulrich stuff with it, if possible.

[@aaronburton9807]

That's a good one too.

[@Theosis78]

Now this can´t be just a coincidence - of course I´ve listened to Hopkins. I made a mix of my favourites by BoC, Schnauss and Hopkins.

[@user-gn5kj1lg4s]

[@dynamo3059]

track #6, A+++

[@giorgioganis363]

My favorite is "A ritual in time and death"

[@DarthBrtt]

My least favorite release. Still, it is very good!

[@michaelg2502]

+Darth Brett You think Goodbye is better?

[@JamesRosen22]

Michael Giblock am I literally the only ulrich fan who thinks goodbye is a masterpiece, like all I see is people slating it ha

[@Misterdave998]

yep

[@tomstickland]

2 minutes in and the first track is doing it for me. I'd sort of lost interest after the Goodbye album. Hopefully this will bring me back.

[@aisane8428]

does he tour europa soon,,,,,,?? him is ´liquid sound master ..4real 4life 4ever on,,,,,,

[@brianhinckle8220]

does he have a source other than itunes (bleck!) ?

[@sycx1]

first time ive ever seen an ad on this type of music in 20 years listening to it. if your channel needs revenue to exist you should consider deleting your channel.

[@richieh007]

Not his best album that's for sure. It just seems a bit all over the place. Suppose you cant win all the time and so far his run of form has been pretty amaznig

[@xFFFFFx]

noice

[@michaelg2502]

This album is a huge step forward for him. His other albums were fantastic, but with Goodbye it sounded tired and over done. Each layer on every song seems to matter more. His production has gotten so much better and sounds much less compressed. Weight of Darkening Skies is worst ever though. This album will age like a fine wine, parts of Trains like "Molfsee" will too as well I believe.

[@Hmshood1809]

I just don't understand all these people who dislike this album and still call him creative. How can you call someone who you expect to stay so contained creative at all? This album is fantastic, if a little different, and I love every song, including Broken Homes & Darkening skies. Ulrich has been my favorite artist for years

[@michaelg2502]

I don't know why The Weight of Darkening Skies has always been off putting to me. I still respect that it's original and creative, I just don't seem to enjoy that one track. I also think his new album is very solid, though lacks the variety and seperation of layers of this album. It certainly hearkens back to his earlier work, but with maybe an added Boards of Canada-ish, psychedelic vibe.

[@irena7777777]

Have you listened to Jon Hopkins?

[@tonysterbenc]

I find him a little sterile and color-by-numbers in comparison.

[@Ramblin-Man]

Is this the Japanese release with an extra, download only, EP - 'I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance' Remix? www.discogs.com/Ulrich-Schnauss-A-Long-Way-To-Fall/release/8980373
