Although in my opinion, the bass tones could have been a little more prevalent in the music. Another point of interest in this album is that the progression of the cd is rather quick. Track three starts off sounding like it is bringing in the morning sunrise. It slowly expands into a more serene track. It glistens in the sunlight, reaching out over the cold ground. The chords take on a deep track that seems to hover around you. Namlook has a thing for quirky samples, and track four would not disappoint. The samples are more technoy than ambient, but sound nice in this album. Our first taste of some real beats. The beats are more on the "breaks" side. Again, the bass is present, but this time it makes itself noticed. Namlook would be one of the few artists to make such chaotic and strange samples work with an album. The beat becomes very entwined with the samples. some classical music samples are a nice touch in track five. track six brings us back to some of the break beats. Fast and full of paranoia, the track twists and turns in a pleasantly psychotic manner. 2:41 into the track, the samples are among my fave. track seven and eight quiet ambient pieces. Track eight is a rather nice added edge to this disc thus far. The pace has slowed down, and there is very little build in this track, yet it does not seem to matter. It remains a very somber piece. One of the better tracks thus far. Seems like a shift in the album. From there tha album seems to be more organized and focused on where it wants to go. The samples build, and make themselves noticed. Superb ambience as track exemplifies. The beat does come back, and at full force. The beats are more on the dark side. The blend in well with the rest of the track. the last track again bring back the classical sound to finish the cd off one small problem with this album. It seems to lack a sense of direction. Sometimes that is the artists purpose, but in this aspect it does not really work 100%. Track 4 is a big example of this issue. 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: Sun, 21 Apr 2002 09:00:59 -0500 From: Mxyzptlk Subject: (fax) FA ebay I have a copy of Elektro up here if anyone is interested.

I think that this one is the best example of Namlook's ability to walk a fine line between improvisational exploration of ideas and self-indulgent noodling (which he has occasionally slipped into). I heard that Namlook doesn't have good memories of this performance, however, since his equipment kept breaking down. Maybe that "chance" element is why it works so well. It also contains my favorite fax sample/soundbite *ever* - the mutant trumpet thingy that was also used on IX (I think!). Other favorite Fax sounds/samples include: "Deep thunder rolling round their shores..." (of course) All the various squelches in Alien Community II The William Burroughs sample in Arizona Tracks The stereo panning on track 1 of Modula Green - always raises the hairs on the back of my neck! The blackbird on Ozoona Cheers, Andrew PS - On first listen, Psycho 5 seems like a bit of a throwaway to me, repeating many ideas that were better articluated by those two in Outland 2. Maybe it'll be a grower... +---------------------------------------------------------+ This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
