I am not sure why I have not listened to this more than once. Its a very interesting feeling. Dark at times, drifting ambience with many original layers. Groovy at times, like with track two...track two is very dream like. It tends to have a lot of emotion. It is deff a powerful track....specially around the 15:00 mark...it sets sail and could continue on forever. Just when you thought it couldnt get better, it builds another layer, and add's some samples (unsure where the samples are from). Then finally breaks off into a more experimental vein. The experimental side continues into track three, playing around with voice samples at low frequencies. This subsides and does become more "ambient"...but without the loss of its previous experimental-abilities. Track four starts rather quiet...(c**l track title by the way), Slowly building around solar-like ambience. When I say slowly, I do not mean drifting...this has destination. The melody takes over at 8:15 and carriers the piece into a more upbeat realm. track five, again, uses some sci-fi sounding samples which become the landscape almost 3 1/2 mins into the track we are treated to some bass...Nice low lying bass mixed into the ambience. Very nice with a subwoofer :-) Anyways, this track becomes quite melodic...as the bass creates its own melody. Amazing ambient that seems to keep your interest. There are many bright spots in the cd...as with the 8:00 mark. deff a classic Fax release.... kunst und wahnsinn, jackthetab i think therefore i ambient #####\ _ /##### #( )# | _( )__ | #( )# ##### | /_woof/ | ##### #" "# | ___m/I_ /_____ | #" "# # O # |____#-x.\ /++m\ /.x-#____| # O # #m.m# | /" \ ///###\\\ / "\ | #m.m# #####/ ######/ \###### \##### /_________________TRIBAL________________\ http://www.superior.net/~zothboy ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2002 #65 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
