The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Some other tidbits...
A new remix of "shine" available here http://www.sutemos.net/en/
And a dancey remix of In All The Wrong Places http://www.discogs.com/Tom-Middleton-Re ... se/1232978

A Shoreline Dream record is out - the three tracks with Ulrich are not really like Neverchanger - he just plays washy keyboard lines in the background. Good stuff, but no signature Ulrich sound :)

He also seems to have lost serious weight, judging from recent pics :)

Good Morning!

Here's a little story:

Woke up in the morning. Got to this site http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =116310565 -> listened to every track -> went to this site http://www.japjap.net/ -> listened to every track -> bought the new album ........and now
I'm thinking: "Has Ulrich Schnauss got a new alias?"
Well, of course not....

Is "All the things" a collaboration thing? It sounds so familiar... :)


CHEERS!

Had a little chat with Ulrich after his gig at Bloc Festival, some bits:
- he's left Independiente, says they did nothing for him. Next album might be even self-released, mp3s on the website.
- a remix compilation is in the works! will feature some less known remixes.
- goodbye remasters etc.. he was really not happy with the 2007 edition

Just got a message from Ulrich who made a correction: he's in fact very happy with the 2008 remaster of "goodbye" :)

Live remix of Here Today Gone Tomorrow available on a very obscure compilation:
http://payplay.fm/vaportrails
It's as amazing as the original, but has more airy, trancey quality to it - and an amazing breakdown towards the end.
I wish the full gig was available somehow...

Hi Mates!

Listening to the Vapor Trail Version for about 3 months and it's growing .... for me the best track by ulrich schnauss!

Thanks alex for the preview link.

Anybody out there speaking russian? Please translate: http://www.inmoskau.de/blog/archives/ul ... oskau.php/

So hopefully Ulrich's gonna healthy again to start writing new tracks!!!

I speak russian, but it's just a silly promo clip by the club residents, where everyone is struggling to describe what Ulrich's music actually sounds like (understandable, considering they're russian minimal-house deejays :).

I prefer the KCRW version of Here Today Gone Tomorrow, it's almost as good sound quality wise, and much more focused. The Vapor Trails version takes forever to arrive to the breakdown, and by then the track is about to end, and there's no time to play out the last part. But it does illustrate the degree of improvisation in Ulrich's gigs, and what he does with his Ableton setup :)

Ulrich has written liner notes for his shoegaze idols Chapterhouse' magnum opus reissue:
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1315554

Very interesting to read his views on the 90s musical landscape in such detail, though I disagree with some of them :)

Scott Walker cover is magnificent, and (I think) hints at the forthcoming album direction and sound.
