Description
2020 reissue, 2×12″, Scripted Realities/PIAS.
For the final part of his epic reissue series, Ulrich Schnauss has taken the chance to re-master and refresh 2016 set “No Further Ahead Than Today”, which is now known as “No Further Ahead Than Tomorrow”. As with its predecessors, the freshly polished set sounds gorgeous, with Schnauss adding extra sparkle to such positive and life-affirming downtempo gems as “Melts Into Air”, the wall-of-sound shuffle of “The Magic In You”, the undulating, morning-fresh ambient techno bliss of “New Day Starts At Dawn” and “Negative Sunrise”, where Steve Reich style melodic refrains and Pat Metheny guitars vie for sound space alongside chiming melodies, crunchy beats and grandiose, enveloping synthesizer motifs. Even by Schnauss’ standards, it’s a big-sounding album, but that’s certainly no bad thing. – Juno
