To me Schnauss is not about beautiful melodies, but about an intoxicating sound canvas. Smooth, soothing. It really hits a certain spot very well, but I agree it's kind of shallow and a bit *too* sweet / full. Couldn't imagine myself listening to this all the time, but I still find myself reaching for his discs relatively often. Worth checking out, no doubt. M83 is pompous, straightforward kinda post-rock with massive analogue synths. Quite beautiful but gets a bit too grandiloquent at times. Something has to hit that yearning for bombast, though, and Dead Cities... hits it really nicely. Both are recommended. ~Visa --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
