Pretty sure you're describing Con Repetizione, from the mid/late-90's on the Art Gallery label. Schnitzler's piano work is very bizarre, but the synth piece on the opposite side is actually one of his most accessible-sounding works
With Schnitzler, there's almost zero overlap between his work and what TD did. Mostly, if he referenced anything it might be bits of Kluster.
The hard thing about Schnitzler is that he was constantly label-hopping and sadly, most labels willing to give him a go also didn't have lasting business plans. Art Gallery reissued a bunch of his cassette series under titles like Electronegativity, Charred Machinery and Blue Glow...but those are hard(er) to find now at low prices. Ditto for the Marginal Talent releases. CS used to sell CD-Rs of his work directly, but I'm pretty sure that's not happening anymore.
If you can find the original Con album (also re-released with extra tracks as Ballet Statique), that's one of his more 'known' titles. I think it was done in Peter Baumann's studio. The soundscapes are shorter and slightly less abstract but still quite interesting. My fave track of his 'Zug' is on there in edited form. (Edit) Here we go:

His earliest stuff is the color albums (Red/Rot, Blue/Blau, Silver, Gold, Yellow/Gelb, Green/Grun) and those are usually interesting, out-there electronic experiments. Bureau B has most of those, so they are in print. Definitely think more Subotnick than Schulze though!
