Goodbye is the last in the trilogy of Ulrich Schnauss' works that also include, "Far Away Trains Passing By" (2001) and "A Strangely Isolated Place" (2003). It was A Strangley Isolated Place that cemented Ulrich's place among the elite electronic artists. The latter album combined the early 90s' Creation Records and 4AD sound of pioneering acts like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine & Cocteau Twins with modern electronic tapestries.

Schnauss' third album, Goodbye, marks the first new release on Domino. It's also the end of a chapter in his sound. Gone are the textural, chanting choruses Schnauss used in his previous albums instead on 'Goodbye" he uses more overt vocals totally submersed in effects and layers of delay. The ambient tracks are more spacious, the songs more memorable and the multi-layered, guitar-heavy tracks more ragingly psychedelic. At times it seems that there are over 100 different audio tracks playing simultaneously. No wonder Goodbye took three solid years to make.
