| | Ulrich Schnauss Quicksand Memory EP CD Single Ulrich Schnauss Discography of CDs
Four years after the release of the lauded A STRANGELY ISOLATED PLACE, German producer Ulrich Schnauss returned in 2007 with a four-song EP entitled QUICKSAND MEMORY. On it Schnauss refines his blend of lush electronica and shoegaze rock aesthetics. Ethereal vocals and guitars that sound as though they're being run through an effects board in heaven create a wash in which Schnauss's mastery of texture can shine. This comes recommended to ambient and electronica fans, as well as devotees of My Bloody Valentine and other droning shoegaze acts.
Personnel: Judith Beck, Sally Fuller (vocals); Doug Morch, Aidan Banks, Matt Dabbs.

EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping or dead, before taking up the subject of mortality more fully in the anthemic "Rise," written by Eitzel for an AIDS-stricken friend. Eitzel observes the trials of those around him on "Ex-Girlfriend," but "Sick of Food" turns his gaze inward, breathlessly describing his alienation from virtually everything and his simultaneous longing for connection. His disaffection grows more urgent on "The Dead Part of You," but by the closing folky ballad "Jesus' Hands," Eitzel's delivering a plea for redemption that finds him strangely at peace with contentment's evanescence.

Here Schnauss forges his own voice, blending together the imagistic vistas of Brian Eno with pop structures and experimental techno grooves. The title track features a scintillating Theremin melody singing high above the keyboard accompaniment, ...
