Good news about the album. I just hope now that my own sense of anticipation does not lead to disappointment.

There is a last year gig bootleg floating around a certain p2p network, where 6 out of 7 tunes are new. They're all amazing, I had tears in the eyes and an idiot's smile when listening to them for the first time!

Hi Mates!

Big news by you guys! Thanks for that!

Other news:

"I have been working with ulrich since december so we have almost four tracks - none of them are completely finished yet though."

Who said that?

CHEERS

Latest message from Ulrich (via Myspace):

hello,
thanks for taking the time to read this - apologies for the everlasting silence throughout the last half year. i had a very precise idea about what the third album was supposed to sound like - while this usually is a good thing it became increasingly
difficult to re-create that sound in the studio - however, in the last couple of months i finally had a bit of a breakthrough situation and am now really happy with the way it all sounds.
please see below for a couple of updates - thanks for your support, ulrich.

"Goodbye", huh?

Please don't!

Hello,

Happily, the collaborative fruits of Ulrich Schnauss and Robin Guthrie are to finally see the light of day shortly, when their EP emerges through Independiente.

Scheduled for a late March / early April release, the four tracker, led by sumptuous reworks of Gone Forever and On My Own, is planned to only be available on an exclusive, lavishly designed 12", strictly limited to 500 copies.

Followers will recognise that Robin has chosen to focus his audio alchemy on songs lifted from Ulrich's previous LP A Strangely Isolated Place (City Centre Offices/Domino) and has in fact returned to overhaul his previously unreleased remix of On My Own, a rarity aired on Radio 1's The Blue Room + XFM's Remix show in the past.

This special EP acts as a precursor to Ulrich's much anticipated third album Goodbye, due for release in May, on Independiente in Europe, and Domino in the US.

Enjoy

Oh, come on. That's just asking for the whole thing to be widely pirated over p2p. Make it available through MP3 downloads at least!

While we're at it, being able to purchase MP3s of Ulrich's recent remixes, particularly the uber-majestic Howling Bells track, would be great too.

I'm sure Bella Union included Ulrich's remix of Setting Sun as an exclusive track on the downloadable version of the single anyhow.

yes, thought they did...

hope that helps

I know about the DRMd itunes download. It's not an option as neither my non-Apple portable music player, nor my Linux PC can handle it. I want to have full control over music that I pay for. I specifically wrote about this to Bella Union, and they said they plan to open their own shop with unlocked MP3s, but they don't know when.

The new album is due for release on 14/05/2007

There is some pre-ordering information on a CD single and the "Goodbye" CD at Indepndiente's shop here and the CD single is available to pre-order from Amazon UK (30th April release date) here

So the album has been pushed back to June 18th and the EP to May 21st. I hope this is the last, firm date. But Independiente's website still says absolutely nothing about the album or artist - what kind of promotion is this? Ulrich might as well sell mp3s directly from his website.

The EP is apparently called "Quicksand Memory Ep" (well, that's what Amazon are listing it at)...

"The Quicksand Memory EP will be released through Independiente in the UK and Domino in the US on May 21. Two new tracks from this have been uploaded; Medusa and Look at the Sky.

Ulrich's third album Goodbye will be released soon after. Shine - taken from the album has also been uploaded."
