Kirby" Subject: (fax) Possibly Newbie Question... Hey all, I've only recently begun the maddening plunge into the world of FAX (I've got about 12 releases currently), and I noticed a little something that I was hoping someone could explain. A couple of the releases I picked up have little icons in the bottom right-hand corner of the back cover. Specifically, Silence III has two guys carrying an oversize cluster of grapes. And Sultan - Osman has what appears to be a rose. I've not seen these on any of my other releases. Are the icons specific to their series (i.e. Silence and Sultan)? Do they have some other significance? Can I take them to McDonald's (tm) for a free Happy Meal? Thanks etc., B. Kirby PS - Has anybody actually ordered from Myshopnow.com yet? - --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 12:39:35 -0400 From: "Luckabaugh, Steve" Subject: RE: (fax) Possibly Newbie Question... > Are the icons specific to their series (i.e. Silence and > Sultan)?

That's because it's a recent development...I think Silence 3 was the first one that had the little corner icon although I may be mistaken on this. > > Are the icons specific to their series (i.e. Silence and Sultan)?

No, but I think Taco Bell will give you a free order of Nachos. > PS - Has anybody actually ordered from Myshopnow.com yet? Yep...I got all three of the titles I ordered within a week of placing the order....I've had no problems with it. - --s2 - -- stewart fritz...... fax +49-69/450464 reviews... http://www.2350.org/ welcome to the electronic music center - --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 12:57:03 -0500 From: RecuRsion Subject: (fax) FAX titles at ebay

Well, anyway, Namlook is part of this organisation called MACOS, which was created by Uwe "Atom Heart" Schmidt. So are a few others that have released CDs on FAX.

Capehart" Subject: (fax) Latest Purchases, Part III Spyra - Phonehead Say hello to my new second-favorite ambient artist, Wolfram DER Spyra! 1. First of all, I like mallet instruments a lot. Secondly, I >really< like odd time signatures. Therefore, I doubt Spyra could have left a more positive first impression on me. The song's emphasis changes gradually from the mallets to the trance-dance, and then blends them together in a way that almost sounds like a techno version of Peter Gabriel's "The Intruder". We return to Theme 1, then fade. Bubbly noises segue into... 2. Odd time signatures again - a bass loop with four 7/8s followed by one 8/8 (36/8?!) and whatever else spyra decided to wash over it. Without the bass loop it would probably remind me most of either "A Sprinkling of Clouds" by Gong or "The Eternal Wheel" by the Ozrics (who of course take much of their inspiration from Gong). Bubbles segue again... 3. We are introduced to an electronically altered voice describing the religious experience of being at sea. This weirdo introduces a LOW BASS DUB. Watch yer speakers. A vibraphone appears toward the end. 4. A dark organ and synthesized piano accompanies a sort of alien voice chanting "La-di-da-di" or something like that. At about 4:30 we get some dub and almost immediately following that some weird Harvey Bainbridge-like swooshes. The chanting aliens return to close the song. More bubbles... 5. Starts as an ambient soundscape. At around 2:00, someone tells us what a VCF is. 6. 7 Homes Part II: Now that similar to Part I of "7 Homes & 8 Spyrits", except for the 7/8, some mallets, and nice danceable music [for those of you with seven legs :-) ]. 7. Starts out soft, with a kind of Moogish melody. Piano enters at around 3;30 with a melody that sounds a bit like a pared down version of "Girls On Broadway" from Tangerine Dream's _Rockoon_. Piano enters again at around 7:05. A different melody this time, but the same general feel. Around 8:00 we veer into smooth-jazz territory a bit, but the music still retains a good edge. At around 9:30, a mellotron chorus accompanies the rest of the music. At 10:30, the song takes a right turn. It's still mellow and slow, but the tonal emphasis changes almost entirely. As other "instruments" join in this change, it ends up sounding like something Vangelis might have written. Overall, a VERY tasty 14:47. A difficult choice, but this is the best track on the album, with Track 1 a VERY close second. 8. Simple piano thing. OK. I give this album a 9.5 out of 10. It's awesome, and the only reason I take off half a point is because the Satie thing doesn't seem to fit with anything else. No biggie, though. GET THIS IF YOU CAN. Then again, if stock is running out, this is a PRIME canditate for eventual release on Ambient World.
