     Carstens third album "U!" marks his final departure from the purely electronic music. But the man has not only changed as a creator of sounds and sound textures (synthesized and natural sounds are now equally important in his music), but also as a composer. Where his style so far was very much orientated on European classical and romantic music, it has now become much more ecclectic, incorporating folk as well as pop influences, thus defying easy categorization.
      Carsten Schnell has good reasons for his artistic development: "When all human vibrations in music become substituted by computer gererated vibrations, a painful lack of warmth, tenderness and love becomes audible - quite the opposite of what I'm trying to express. So it is only natural for me to increase my means of orchestration - which has rather automatically motivated me also widen my stylistic approach."
