A Namlook comp following another Namlook release!? Anyone seen that Ambient Century book? Apparently Namlook was a currency dealer for some time which is how he afforded all his gear, sounds a bit like Sven Vath - too much gear = less creativity (flame away!). Actually its a shite book, the guy doesnt seem to really know his stuff and its a big cash-in on the popularity of ambient, its also done in a thematic order followed by an alphabetic list of artists which makes it pretty dull. For the real thing get Toop's ocean of sound, now that's class! cheers rA NP: Vrs Mbnt Pcs II - first track = music to die to PS: Please accept my apologies for initiating such a tiring thread on trading, Ill just shut my mouth sooner next time ;) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 13:00:22 +0000 From: "Paul Milligan" Subject: (fax) ambience in print >For the real thing get Toop's ocean of sound, now that's class! There's a bloke on the ambient list (name escapes me now, even though we've traded a few times ... aargh, that word!) who's been putting something together that sounds *very* interesting. I've corresponded with him several times and the only two *potential* weaknesses (not had sight of it yet) are that (i) he's apparently just glanced over Fax and (ii) it sounds like there might be too much emphasis on the US market .. he's a massive Rich/Roach freak. That aside, he's been very interesting to converse with. I'll report back when I pick up more tangible info. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 05:55:50 -0800 From: "Raphael Almeria" Subject: RE: (fax) FAX releases Hmm...are you saying Namlook is selling out?

Actually Vath has his moments.

The book provides a social/cultural and musical history of what he calls aether-music, basically this means a history of ambient from Satie onwards. The book is more subtle than that though and includes interviews with people like Namlook, Aphext Twin, Laswell and lots of others to produce a history of the use of atmospheres and expanded soundscapes in music. See also Exotica and Rap Attack also by him. All are published by Serpents Tail, cheers! rA At 22:26 22/02/2001 +0000, you wrote: >What's this now, Roland?

Anyway, just got a message from David Reeves, with some info on what he's been up to lately: "As to my goings-on, I did one track recently for a compilation CD on Manifold Records from Memphis (!) , and an ambient track on a KLF Chill-out tribute on Sabotage. The Otraslab CD was a few years back, and Narcos came out close to Otras, the first Fax one, back in the day." Also, Mr. Reeves says he's got a new "all ambient" release that he'd like to see the light of day soon...

Hey Warren Did Mr Reeves indicate whether he'd approached Mr K. to release this one for him? It would be a crime if he does and Mr K. didn't ... if you get my drift.

There isn't... although one hopes any book on the genre will provide a reasonably balanced view (not implying it won't btw). >Personally, I'd like to see Fax delve into the "traditional" ambient >variety to compliment the techno-oriented variety, thus further >spreading the word about ambient music. I'm not absolutely clear on the distinction here...isn't some of Fax's stuff "traditional" (eg. a good chunk of Inoue's work, albeit way above the standard of the norm) anyway? If, however, you mean more towards Rich/Roach etc, aren't there plenty out there (especially Stateside) doing that already? Don't misunderstand, I have Stalker and Fissures and love them to death but, if there is such a thing as the "Fax sound" - - and I'm thinking here particularly of the 94/95 blend of trance, experimental and chill orientated releases - then that's still a vein with life in it IMO. I don't see Fax that has a generic mission to spread the word of ambient music, which is already highly (some might say too highly) prolific. Always, quality before quantity ... a point I recently argued at length in the Klaus Schulze Circle, following his recent 10 cd box set, hot on the heels of the other four box sets! ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2001 #28 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
