Not exactly sure where they are from. I do like "welcome to the real world" Almost sounds like a Martix sample....Spacey, upbeat. The melody works rather well in this track.... track two, becomes a "classic" sounding ambient piece. At times it reminds me of Tangerine Dream. I had to check to make sure this was a Namlook solo release. The gradual progression of the background ambient clashes very well with the front line melody. The track is not rather deep sounding, but is still a great track. It tends to meander at times, and the drum section become more apparent. track three break out more of the drums with some crickets sounds. It leans towards a loose drum and bass or break section, molded with a female vox sample. The track has some nice progression with the computerized chant, "free you mind". This is a bit noiser than the two previous tracks, but still works very well. It something rather dark, but very much alive. track four comes back with more "ambience", in that Namlook way. The ambience builds into some drum beats. The beats remain very up tempo, yet the ambience in the background mellow out the over all feel of the track. Not one of the most original sounding tracks, but still remains pleasurable track. track five is more of a trance beat with some quirky samples thrown in. It remains very different from the other tracks so far. It has some of the "classic" ambient/techno sounds as in with 1:48 into the track. It is a track that grows on you. It could have preceeded on for another few more minutes, but all good things must come to an end. At 6:36 into the track, it gets a little weird. Reminds me of some of the old computer sounds from games on the old atari :-) track six, right from the start you can tell that this track will be different than the previous tracks as well. Its starts off with some very drawn out mellow ambient. More Matrix sounding samples (has to be this movie)...the samples tend to blend nicely with the spacey ambient. No sooner do you get deeply involved with the ambience, the drums kick in. Somehow I find myself getting lost in this track each time I play it. It becomes more of a trancey feel, very mellow, yet very danceable. 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 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 09:33:09 +0100 From: "Paul Milligan" Subject: (fax) Origins of "Dreamfish" I'm totally non-plus about the techno/ambient scene in the UK in the very early 90's but, I recently read about an event (events?) held in London around this time known as "Telepathic Fish" where Mixmaster Morris performed, amongst others. There seems to be a rather more than coincidental link here between this and the MM/Namlook release which came only a year or two later. Anyone here know more ... or even witness the event(s) itself? ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2002 #66 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
