New Music Tuesdays: Ulrich Schnauss Releases "A Long Way to Fall" and Offers Free Download of XLR8R Podcast

The music of Ulrich Schnauss is unlike any other. Over the last decade, his emotive and meticulously layered productions have become the stuff of legend, but a lot of people forget that Mr. Schanuss actually started out making atmospheric drum and bass tunes in the mid-90's as Ethereal 77 on esteemed labels like LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records. Now to celebrate the release of Schnauss' new album, "A Long Way to Fall," his first in 6 years, the German genius has gone back to his roots and put together a properly chilled out classic drum and bass mix for the latest XLR8R podcast! Works best for early hours and late night sessions, but no matter what, you're really going to love this one...
