"After their disappointed release of "Prologue" in 2004, schiller is back to their original style. Welcome Back, Schiller!!!



The music in this CD is full, deep, and lucious. Kim Sanders, Moya Brennan, Jette von Roth, and Thomas D vocal complements the songs they sing. Sander's voice is always addicting. I also like Brennan's voice. Her voice magically joint Irish folk/New Age with Schiller's Electronic and Techno beats. It is very interesting to listen.



For schiller fans/everyone out there, get this CD. It is what you are expecting out of Schiller."

Great Album - Worth a listen

"i have long been acquainted with german producer schiller, albeit distantly via club remixes of his releases such as 'ruhe' and 'glockenspiel.' as little as i was impressed by these remixes, i became intrigued by some of his solo work and decided to purchase this album. to my surprise i found it is NOT a clubbing cd!



it has, however, instantly become one of my favorites, and i don't see that changing anytime soon! what an amazing collection of music on offer here.. the first track literally welcomes you via a deep german voice to 'den neuen welt von schiller' (shiller's new world). what a world it is!! an eclectic and intelligent mix of electronic music, some ambient, some trippy, some chillout, and all entirely beautiful. the female vocal talent on offer is exceptional, and the male vocals (more lyrical or spoken than singing) are well administered to add some variety. the songwriting and engineering are immaculate.. i can't remember the last time i've heard a record so polished yet so different!



thematically, schiller takes you on a sonic journey through day and night, mixing english and german vocals along the way. sleek ambience alternates trip hop like themes, smoothed into an overarching theme of chillout that turns out incredibly catchy and pretty without being forced or cheesy. i would describe the style as a blend of chicane, atb, hooverphonic, and maybe a little delerium. altogether extremely pleasing!



recommended for fans of the above groups, and i would also throw in qntal, e nomine (more so the 'profezeiung' variety), and ulrich schnauss. but really, no matter who you are, if you like downtempo music, you will be ever so glad you made the purchase!



5 stars for overall excellence, brilliant execution and originality! wow!! i need more albums like this."
