That got me a-thinkin'.... Now, there IS a Rawkus Records cart that can be seen downtown.... How about it, folks? Ice cream and ambient music emanating from the cart's PA system? Peace. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 08:53:37 +0100 From: "Paul Milligan" Subject: (fax) Wired again I was listening to this one for the third time coming into work this morning and I can only reiterate that it is the best thing that Namlook's done for quite some time. I'd be interested in knowing how significant Moufang's post-production work played in this. Incidently, don't know if anyone has noticed but, on the first track and again at the end of the album there is a very subtle use of that highly evocative piece of music they used in Platoon, it's a well known classical piece ..."Adagio something-or-other"? > Speaking of the Retro Rocket, I've seen very few reviews on this, and was >wondering what everyone thinks? Competent but, not exceptional. Wired and A Day In The Live are the definitive Move D's imo. On another question posed earlier - I believe Namlook is 40 or, thereabouts. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 09:28:56 +0100 From: Edward Jones Subject: RE: (fax) Wired again I would like to add my tuppence worth to the Wired debate. I agree that Namlook has seen a return to form with his last couple of releases (Silence V is also rather good, and just improves with further listenings), and Wired is consistent with this trend, although it does share some of the patchiness of previous Move D collabs. Incidentally, interesting how this particular series of collaborations hasn't suffered from the same decline in quality that we have seen in others such as Dark Side and Outland for example.

Yeah, unfortunately it crops up all over the place these days, in crappy contexts like TV ads and that William Orbit thing (aaaaaaaaargh!!) That being said, in it's original form it's still a sublime piece of music. Can't recollect if Namlook himself has ever sampled from a classical piece before ... although Passion had a classical 'bent' I suppose, albeit not an especially impressive one imo. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 10:20:39 -0400 From: "Mike Bennett" Subject: Re: (fax) Wired / Adagio for Strings >Can't recollect if Namlook himself has >ever sampled from a classical piece before ... Check out the uncanny resemblance between the start of Adagio and the first 10 seconds or so of 62 Eulengasse, Time/Cage.

With the glaring (and glorious) exception of the last track, as Warren pointed out, this is mainly dated trance. "Giovenes" runs through a light, twinkling melody for a while, and the 909 enters. This track is quite positive. Very little else to say about it. "Delargo 1" begins a little darker, and it's a little faster than the previous track. Around the middle of the song, the rhythm gets chopped up a bit and a 303 melody starts. "Trancesub" is exactly the type of track that made a lot of people shun techno in the early 90s (and still today): fast, relentless rhythm combined with repetitive synth lines. I guess I can see the appeal of this, though. It might be fun at a party. It certainly has no shortage of energy. "Sub" is more of the same. Not much you couldn't do with Rebirth these days. "Move the Face" is a carbon copy of what came before it...except it has a weird little bleepy, descending noise. Ahh, yes. "Sea of Love" is the tempo change we've been dying for. It's still kind of trancey, but it's a little smoother, and a little moodier. This might be the first real "listening" track on the album. That is, it's comfortable off the dance floor. Well, you knew that couldn't last. "A Lucinization" throws us back into the disco with some fast trance. It's not quite as agressive as the earlier tracks, though. Still not very disctinct. "Acult" is the requisite chill-out at the end of early Fax albums. It's fairly dated, but it's very good. "Mysterious" is a word that comes to my mind as well when describing this track. The 909's hi-hat keeps the pulse while miscellaneous keyboard nuances flutter in and out of consciousness. A snare enters just before the seven minute mark, and a bass drum about half a minute later. Why couldn't they just make the entire album like this?! It just occured to me that "Acult" would make great thrusting music. Maybe some future porn director will stumble upon this CD and Gorn will finally have its 15 minutes of fame. :) All in all, Gorn has very little variety. To its credit, however, even modern day trance doesn't sound much different. I somehow doubt, however, that Gorn was much of a pioneer with only 500 copies of the CD in existence. I really dig the cover art though. And that last track simply rocks.
