After 12 minutes a break, and the strings emerge... Then the beats are in again, and finally it's time for Pete's guitar with some dreamy jazzy themes. This reminds me of "Dub In" from Jet Chamber III with the sounds from Move D & Namlook II "A Day in the Live". This 27mins track grows the more I listen to it... 2 "Short Return of the Astrogator" - ...from Namlook I. A short interlude with that alien sound... We know Pete is always good for a jolly backlink ;) 3 "Hardwired - Tangent" - breakbeats again, different style than on Softwired though, with spacey atonal sound explorations in the beginning, then after 3 mins the warm deep pads are back, wrapping up the listener in some seriously deep ambience. 4 "Hardwired - Hypotenuse" - same sounds and atmosphere, but now with straight bassdrum. Lots of "micro" elements swirling all around... subbasses rising from the deep... 5 "Hardwired - Asymptote" - ...is the continuation of the last track. now there's more room for the space drone sound, the density of the elements ends in smoke... 6 "Wear Your Love Out" - another (the?) highlight of the album. An intense fusion of Mille Plateaux' Clicks'n Cuts style with FAXed Two-Step! A microcosmos of clicks and crackles immersed into omnipresent warm pads, and then.. singing (Move D? the booklet says nothing about the singer), only the words of the title.. simple, and so emotional. Marvellous! 7 "1969" - this could be called "the aftermath" alternatively. Reminds me of the beginning of Shades of Orion "Biotrip"... a bit darker and with broken beats, and simply more mature! It just ends too early in my opinion... it is like the great presentimental intro for something even bigger... Overall, this is a really profound release! Combining sound experimentation with groove and harmony in an excellent way. It also seems more complex than previous Move D/Namlook collaborations. To use Pete's recent words about upcoming sublabel releases: Super-exceptional stuff! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

There is one thing that is also related to Fax. On Scorn remix album "Ellipsis" there is Laswell mix of "Night Ash Black". It's a 15 minute monster, great track with samples from "Bad Lieutenant" movie, but that's not the point. Once when I was listening to this track on headphones I noticed that at some point somewhere in the "back" of the droning sound there is something playing, it took me a while to figure out where I heard this passage. It is a whole outtake from track "Gebirge" from Fires of Ork. I doubt if this falls into sample category, because the outtake is far too long for a regular sample, it's a few cycles of the main motive that is going through "Gebirge" again and again. Great stuff. And it also fits nicely into this (slow black underground river mix) by Laswell. cheers, Leszek. ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2001 #79 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
