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

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

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

    This is an album that works incredibly well turned up loud.

    There are some minor criticisms with Underrated Silence, the most obvious being the similarity between most of its ten pieces.

    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 electronicUlrich 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".
