Even beyond the comical moments, this track really has a great sound. The silly sample of "this computer sux" gives this an old skool sound. At -1:45 the track breaks into a repetitive synth melody, and an ongoing sample gleems through the melody. It never seems to loose its comical style, yet it is quite the serious piece. It is very refreshing and a bright spot to this album. This album sounds really hypnotic with my Bang and Olufsen RL-140 speakers. kunst und wahnsinn, jackthetab #####\ _ /##### #( )# | _( )__ | #( )# ##### | /_woof/ | ##### #" "# | ___m/I_ /_____ | #" "# # O # |____#-x.\ /++m\ /.x-#____| # O # #m.m# | /" \ ///###\\\ / "\ | #m.m# #####/ ######/ \###### \##### /_______________________________________\ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 18:10:51 +1000 From: "Sebastian Pucilowski" Subject: RE: (fax) The Putney 1 and 2 1, by far. 2 is just random synth noodlings, nothing palatable I'm afraid. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-faxlist@2350.org [mailto:owner-faxlist@2350.org] On Behalf Of jackthetab Sent: Thursday, 1 May 2003 2:48 PM To: FAX-E Subject: (fax) The Putney 1 and 2 Any opinions on which one is better?

Most people seem to indicate that this is not your typical FAX sound. Does anyone have any positive things to say about either of these releases? By the way, my copy of "My Fascinating Instrument" is not on FAX. This is off of Erdenklang, and seems to be missing the final track listed on the FAX release. kunst und wahnsinn, jackthetab #####\ _ /##### #( )# | _( )__ | #( )# ##### | /_woof/ | ##### #" "# | ___m/I_ /_____ | #" "# # O # |____#-x.\ /++m\ /.x-#____| # O # #m.m# | /" \ ///###\\\ / "\ | #m.m# #####/ ######/ \###### \##### /_______________________________________\ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 15:04:38 EDT From: RLynn9@aol.com Subject: Re: (fax) Oskar Sala In a message dated 5/1/03 1:39:46 PM Central Daylight Time, ambient@nycap.rr.com writes: << I just received "Subharmonic Mixtures" and "My Fascinating Instrument" I have heard and read a lot of not so positive reviews about the two albums.

To be honest, the allure of these CDs is in the history behind the instrument rather than the music itself. There are a few tracks that I enjoy and I am sure to play the mixture trautonium or hear it live would be pretty dang cool. i mean, i bet FAX heads would buy a glass armonica release if it was released on FAX... this is just my opinion! darcy ( dj monolith ) - --- jackthetab wrote: > I just received "Subharmonic Mixtures" and "My > Fascinating Instrument" > I have heard and read a lot of not so positive > reviews about the two > albums.

It continues to take shape, and soon becomes a funky techno space piece. There are some Namlook sweeps throughout. just received this...first time listen............... Track two mixes in a droney loop. The build is slower than the previous track. It takes on a more alien sound with its quirky and playful samples. Upbeat, without a beat. Track three starts to roll and becomes even more quirky than before. It seems to have some motion, yet the aliens are still amongst us. There is a lot more intensity in this track. The happy EMS strings us along into a new world, with glowing bliss all around. Track four is slow ever-evolving alien ambient and techno. The techno is restless, and sometimes unsettling (in a good way). Some nice bass toward the end of the track. Track five follows with similar intentions. It is a more defined experimental sound overall (?). -3:30 is not for the timid ambient listener. Track six and seven seem to mix well. Track seven is loud with its elongated samples fluttering about. The mix is uptempo, and almost at a nervous pace. The pace with -4:45 becomes joyfully frantic. Track eight reminds me of the movie Close Encounters. It finally settles into something lurking and extraterrestrial The final track is brighter sounding, and the most organized. This is my fave on the disc. It seems to incorporate all the good things throughout the album, and creating a fast paced groovy techno track. This is certainly not an album for everyone, and for those not so timid it is "Recommended Daily Intake..." kunst und wahnsinn, jackthetab #####\ _ /##### #( )# | _( )__ | #( )# ##### | /_woof/ | ##### #" "# | ___m/I_ /_____ | #" "# # O # |____#-x.\ /++m\ /.x-#____| # O # #m.m# | /" \ ///###\\\ / "\ | #m.m# #####/ ######/ \###### \##### /_______________________________________\ ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2003 #77 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
