Ulrich Schnauss is an electronic musician and producer based in Germany. His first album Far Away Trains Passing By (2001) became an electronic classic; listeners were smitten with the lush instrumentation and the emotional impact of his elegant music. Nothing could prepare his growing army of supporters for the next record, A Strangely Isolated Place (2003). The album truly displayed Ulrich’s youthful indie influences and established his pedigree as an outstanding electronic composer. A Strangely Isolated Place has become one of those extraordinary and rare occurrences: a record that slowly grows in stature by virtue of its overriding ability to deliver more than the usual arid and academic treatises on the state of the synthesizer.

Tycho, San Francisco-based ambient producer, has a few songs on 2006 album Past Is Prologue with a distinctly warm analogue Boards of Canada feel. His 2011 album Dive is also worth a listen.
