Far Away Trains Passing By (MP3)
For fans of Hermann & Kleine and B. Fleischmann. "Far Away Trains Passing By" grabs you by the heart. All six tracks, full of heavenly melodies and harmonies, do not even care about the unwritten laws of the so-called electronica genre, but switch on sun after sun in the sky, hover old drumboxes and breakbeats, and explore the more than impressive collection of machines in Schnauss' studio.
Everything works and flows on autopilot here and sounds much more like a studio with wooden floors and walls rather than hard disk cooling fans. "Far Away Trains Passing By" is the most astonishing debut of the year and at the same time only the beginning of a long story.
