Are there any Fax addicts around here? I've been buying mainly Fax back-catalogue stuff on eBay recently, very rewarding it is too...if a bit pricy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, just an AFX fan here (haha) |
||||||||
|
|

Oh very good! :-) Fax not your cup of tea? Or you just haven't any? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course I meant haven't HEARD any? :-( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what do they sound like? what label are they signed to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is a label! :-) http://music.hyperreal.org/labels/fax/ Pete Namlook owns it and has a part in most releases...artists you might have heard of who have albums / collaborations on it are... Speedy J Jonah Sharp Tetsu Inoue Richie Hawtin Mixmaster Morris / Irresistible Force But be warned, it could become an addiction... :-) also www.2350.org is a fantastic resource, all releases listed by artist / date / project....and ALL reviewed!!! :-) And no I dunno html! :-) |

|
so they release techno music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Some of it is "IDM" as we know it...some is ambient (no or few beats) and some early stuff is trancey, but good, mind...very varied stuff...if you have a look on the Fax site there's a bit that tells how to spot which style it is by which colour is on the front of the album cover(!) All the Fax albums are limited (500 - 3000 copies, the earlier the fewer) but the more popular ones get rereleased on a sublabel (Ambient World) I recommend checking out From Within (Pete Namlook and Richie Hawtin) Dreamfish (PN and Mixmaster Morris) Silence (PN and Dr. Atmo) for starters... :-) |

The stuff I like from FAX are Namlook (ATOM HEART) and Ambiant Otaku by Tetsu Inoue. :) |

Have you heard "Shades Of Orion?" (Namlook and Inoue) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Ive only heard Jet Chamber V but I loved it and I happen to be trying to track down some more.... ;) What does it sound like...? Not one of those crazy FAX releases where its 74mins of tone? ;D What do you think of MD? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's feckin A1...the first track "Biotrip" is the highlight...24 minutes of pure dreamy ambience...highly recommended... Sorry but what's MD? Am I being dense? |

MD is on the Merck label I think... sounds a bit like Brothomstates. Just happen to have thought of MD when you mentioned Namlook (listened to both artists this morning) ;) |

Ah right, new one on me...anyway, must fly now...talk again! :-) P.S. Watch out for my useful (and yet criminally underused) thread... :-) |

Well.... anyone who happens to be interested in hearing some FAX stuff: http://www.discogs.com/label/Fax_-49-69_450464 Its a mixed bag so download first..... like I said you could end up with a CD that is just silence or 74mins of tone. :) |

i prefer email. Faxing seems redundant in this technological age and day. criiirghhwhirrzingaroookawirghhhakakakaka |

Ten years ago, i was interested in it, i have bought many fax CD's. I have sold them all. They released 1 item every week--->total overdose |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought some of it sounded okay in my opinion... :) |
||||||||
|
|

Pete Namlook's "Garden of Dreams" is still the best ambient piece ever written, and no mistake. |
||||||||
|

|
|
What release is that off? I can't seem to place it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's off Namlook & Dr Atmo's 'Silence', , though I have it on a Rising High compilation called the Artists Cut or some such thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, then I have already got it, but can't place it...maybe I'll listen to it when I go home in a min... :-) |
