Feb 24, 2012This is a record that reminds us of one of music's most overlooked, modest--but perhaps, most sensible--aesthetic couplings.
-
Feb 24, 2012For a stopgap collaboration, Underrated Silence sits comfortably with some of Schnauss's best work.
-
Q MagazineFeb 24, 2012Far from being aural wallpaper, this is ambient music that's both engaging and engrossing. [Mar 2012, p.112]
-
Feb 24, 2012This is an album that works incredibly well turned up loud.
-
Feb 24, 2012There are some minor criticisms with Underrated Silence, the most obvious being the similarity between most of its ten pieces.
-
Feb 24, 2012Schnauss' sheen unifies it as, bare minimum, a pleasant journey through the haze. Just don't expect to see anything too clearly.
-
Feb 24, 2012Beautifully crafted, if slightly inconsistent, Underrated Silence is undoubtedly still more of a mood setter than a head-bobber, but it's a far more challenging and ultimately rewarding listen than your average chill-out fare.
-
Under The RadarMar 22, 2012This is grandly executed wallpaper music. [Mar 2012, p.88]
-
Mar 5, 2012A polite, undemanding excursion--frustratingly stuck to its own sonic landscape.

UncutFeb 24, 2012The album's heavily layered ambi-rock confections indulge the duo's mutual love of spangled guitar effects, tinselly twinkles and pearly dewdrop shimmers. [Mar 2012, p.97]
-
Feb 24, 2012Underrated Silence is never less than pretty, and often strikingly so, yet it lacks the grit that might make these compositions emotionally involving.
-
Feb 24, 2012It's ambient electronica that exudes shoegaze impressionism that is also as effective as ever.
-
Feb 24, 2012More unfortunate are the moments when Schnauss and Peters aim for surprising or affecting and veer straight into kitsch.
