What the hell was he thinking of with that awful prog rock organ sound??? I thought it almost totally wrecked what was, until then, a sublime song. He does the same with one of the songs on Sferics and it nearly ruined that track for me as well. Stay away from the organ Wolfram, stay away from the organ. :-) I like Etherlands Parts 1 & 2 though. It conjured up images of windswept moors with those windpower thingummies sprawling across them. Paul said: Yes, I concur. Sferics is very consistent, whereas Etherlands sort of sounds like the tracks that didn't quite make it onto Sferics... the one exception being the quite superb 6 Miles South Of Hastings. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 10:15:50 +0100 From: "Paul Milligan" Subject: (fax) Re: Six Miles South of Hastings (& a few trades) > What the hell was he thinking of with that awful prog rock organ sound??? > I thought it almost totally wrecked what was, until then, a sublime song. That's part of the reason I like it so much, no really! Reminds me of the Manfred Mann Earthbound sound circa early 70's (Messin/Solar Fire/etc). Namlook had a similar touch on parts of Koolfang II ... which, incidently, was the only thing I liked about that release. 3 items to trade below and I'll swop any 2 (!!) of them for 1 of my wants. All like new: * Quique : Seefeel - ambient (indie) techno, a classic and now rare ...similar to Spacetime Continuum or, Global Communication. * Silence V : Namlook - better than I, II & IV but, not III ...my opinion only of course. * Tago Mago : Can - probably *the* definitive kraut-rock album of all time ...75 mins of funky electronics, cyclical drum patterns and general wierdness Want : DJ Spooky's Songs Of A Dead Dreamer or The Quick & The Dead Schulze's Klangart either Volume 1 or 2 (or the new DSOTM IX release) Biosphere's Shenzhou ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 10:31:41 +0100 From: "Peter Dunlop" Subject: (fax) Re: Six Miles South of Hastings (& a few trades) Does he like using this organ sound a lot then? ie, likes to get at least one song per album with it on? I was looking at some reviews of his other non-fax albums and one of them mentioned him doing a Keith Emerson impression on some song called March of the Dwarves. Hell, I can see it now - Emerson, Lake & Spyra !!!! What's Future of the Past like?

Hell, I can see it >now - Emerson, Lake & Spyra !!!! Shouldn't that be Spyra, Lake & Palmer? You know, I'm sure I read somewhere about Namlook liking their early stuff (I might even have posted on it before) ... to be honest the first side of Tarkus is bloody great, I still get it out 2/3 times a year. Anyone who laughs at this thought obviously hasn't heard it. >What's Future of the Past like? Big implication in the title ... analogue sounds (and sequences) brought into the late 90's and given definitve Spyra/ambient treatment. Does it even better than *any* of his other releases (and anyone else's come to that) and there's not a bum moment. Don't even hesitate. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 18:37:33 +0100 From: "Rich" Subject: Re: (fax) More Spyra | >What's Future of the Past like? | | Big implication in the title ... analogue sounds (and sequences) brought | into | the late 90's and given definitve Spyra/ambient treatment.

This is one of those albums you can put on and amaze yourself, because it sounds sooo 70's electronic, yet with a 90's edge in ambient moments. It's not the most exciting album, but compared to Node, its a far far superior album. A personal benchmark album...

Wow! Definitely worth the wait. Shades 2 I can't stop playing - I think I like it even more than the first (and definitely a lot better than the third - they started to lose the plot a bit by that stage I think), a real journey through space and beyond. Broadway 3 is not quite as monumental as volume 2, but some really nice deep chill nonetheless. More melodic I think than the first two and to me feels a lot "warmer". One for those long, hot, summer nights...
