    For a stopgap collaboration, Underrated Silence sits comfortably with some of Schnauss's best work.

    This is a record that reminds us of one of music's most overlooked, modest--but perhaps, most sensible--aesthetic couplings.

    Far from being aural wallpaper, this is ambient music that's both engaging and engrossing. [Mar 2012, p.112]

    Ulrich Schnauss also known as the View to the Future or the Police In Cars With Headphones just released 23rd in his career CD with electronic overtones. We can find for example: a little pathetic, but also stirring "The Messiah Is Falling", developing steadily by sophisticated parties of synthesizers "Long Distance Call", supported by vocals "Forgotten" or a little outer space "Yesterday Did Not Exist". The CD is not the high-flying one - it can be treated more as a curiosity than a position likely to conquer the music market.… Collapse
