A very atmospheric track. Track 3 takes = this theme further building slowly with feint hints of melody in the = background. The melodic elements become more prominent as we move into = the excellent Part 4. =20 Part 5 - This could almost have been lifted from directly from Namlook's = "Astrogator" with the same spacey wind providing the background to some = extremely distorted rubbery percussion type sounds. Uncanny. =20 The next two tracks are dark, very eerie and minimalistic, but with just = enough happening to command your attention. Part 8 returns to the = sequence of Part 4 with some excellent beats complementing the overall = effect. The remainder of the album again closes out not very = spectacularly, but doing just about enough to keep you listening.=20 =20 Overall this is a very cinematic album, with some nice flourishes, the = occasional excellent beats and intriguing melodies in places, but for me = the whole thing just kind of drops off towards the last 20 minutes or so = and despite forcing myself to repeated listens has me struggling to come = back voluntarily. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 09:06:34 +0000 From: Paul Milligan Subject: Re: (fax) Review - PS/100 Anthony Rother - Elixir of Life Richard the first three quarters of your review had me rather excited, in anticipation of (what sounded like) a soon to become classic ambient/Fax release. However, the "struggling" to repeat play "voluntarily" put a real downer on the thing.

It is = certainly good, but not outstanding and in my view far from a classic.=20 - ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Paul Milligan" To: "Richard Hughes" Cc: Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 10:06 AM Subject: Re: (fax) Review - PS/100 Anthony Rother - Elixir of Life > Richard >=20 > the first three quarters of your review had me rather excited, in > anticipation of (what sounded like) a soon to become classic = ambient/Fax > release.
