When this first came out there were the predictable favourable comparisons to Zoviet France or Lustmord, but really, this work seems sadly unsophisticated when held up to some of ZF or Lustmord's works of a similar style/composition. It seems that people are often hesitant to post negative reviews - I'm not sure I've seen anything since the round and hilarious panning of Gate/Sol (http://2350.org/ps47/ "Two lifeless tracks that make me long for the sound of my dishwasher.") or the endless stream of disdain for the very challenging Namlook III. In short - nice to see someone call it like it is. I expected a lot more from this release, and I don't think that any amount of meditation or substances are going to make it less rough-hewn, grating or overly simple in its design. After this and the NOL trilogy, I am really hoping for something more out of Namlook XX and the next few PK08/xxx releases. cheers, Christian.

Any review is, if it comes to "judging the music" (and not the production), a matter of personal taste. And IMHO, it is *good* to have the personal opinion in a review, because: if I read a review by someone who's really keen on drum'n bass, and that review is very positive, I know that the stuff described may not be for me. Saying that, it is of course important to not only say "this sucks!" but also say why it sucks. :-) There's no other way to find out which releases to go for, and which to avoid. - -- Best regards, Alexander "Hell" would be a small universe, that we could explore thoroughly, and fully comprehend. -- Timothy Ferris ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 13:31:35 +0200 From: Alexander Subject: (fax) DSOTM9 Hello everyone...

Well, I don't know what the deal between PN and KS is, and if PN is cool with it that way (as long as the result is good - and it is). If I were to do a co-op with another artist and find the material is "recycled" I'd be slightly disappointed. > There is also a track from the first box set that is used as well in > DSOTM9.

Of course, it was technically PK who 'recycled' Moog IX as KS simply sent him the 'base' track/s. Obviously, on this occasion Pete did a truly excellent job but, to be fair to Klaus, he had no direct input into the final sound. On Contemporary Works II this piece suffers by comparison and seems a little meandering... a not uncommon criticism of Klaus's work, occasionally justified. That said, 66% of CW II is outstanding stuff. Personally I feel that Pete's most significant effort on the last (and deffo the best imo) Moog was the extra sense of melancholy ... which I always felt was implied by the title of this series but, sometimes lacking. There is no doubt that, as this series moves along, there is better integration of the artists' two styles. Interestingly, when Klaus 're-invented' himself in 96 with Are You Sequenced, Pete's contribution to the extra remix disc was more significant than other remixes present. Well, in this listener's opinion anyway. Paul Incidentally, on the 'Top 5' thread, let me be a tiny bit controversial and say that I find Silence I and II a bit boring in places. III is better imo. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 10:59:51 +0000 From: Agust A J Subject: Re: (fax) DSOTM9 > silence > top5 >Incidentally, on the 'Top 5' thread, let me be a tiny bit controversial and >say that I find Silence I and II a bit boring in places.

Well Kev I'd have to refer you to my review on 2350 which although short does sum up my feelings about this one. Cross ref it with the others there and you'll get a pretty good consensus. Incidentally, I consider the first ASA release the stronger of the two. The second is recommended listening for when you really want to float way out there...

I'd appreciate it if you could form this statement into a review for 2350.org ...as an opposite to my negative rantings. :-) - -- Best regards, Alexander DP'ing: 'Karmic Light' by Tetsu Inoue (from the album 'Ambiant Otaku') ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 18:59:35 +0100 From: vnodde@broadpark.no Subject: Re: (fax) Top 5 FAX? again in no particular order aerial service area 2 dreamfish 2 the fires of ork peter benisch - waiting for snow planetarium 2 and the Otras releases. v ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 17:49:07 -0400 From: MuzikJunky Subject: Re: (fax) More titles now at iTunes > Do you have iTunes?

Modula Green - Shellground - PS 08/75 this is truly an amazing album. I am not sure why I have not listened to this more than once. Its a very interesting feeling. Dark at times, drifting ambience with many original layers. Groovy at times, like with track two...track two is very dream like. It tends to have a lot of emotion. It is deff a powerful track....specially around the 15:00 mark...it sets sail and could continue on forever. Just when you thought it couldnt get better, it builds another layer, and add's some samples (unsure where the samples are from). Then finally breaks off into a more experimental vein. The experimental side continues into track three, playing around with voice samples at low frequencies. This subsides and does become more "ambient"...but without the loss of its previous experimental-abilities. Track four starts rather quiet...(c**l track title by the way), Slowly building around solar-like ambience. When I say slowly, I do not mean drifting...this has destination. The melody takes over at 8:15 and carriers the piece into a more upbeat realm. track five, again, uses some sci-fi sounding samples which become the landscape almost 3 1/2 mins into the track we are treated to some bass...Nice low lying bass mixed into the ambience. Very nice with a subwoofer :-) Anyways, this track becomes quite melodic...as the bass creates its own melody. Amazing ambient that seems to keep your interest. There are many bright spots in the cd...as with the 8:00 mark. deff a classic Fax release.... kunst und wahnsinn, jackthetab #####\ _ /##### #( )# | _( )__ | #( )# ##### | /_woof/ | ##### #" "# | ___m/I_ /_____ | #" "# # O # |____#-x.\ /++m\ /.x-#____| # O # #m.m# | /" \ ///###\\\ / "\ | #m.m# #####/ ######/ \###### \##### /_______________________________________\ die Intensität eines Automobilunfalles, ist einfach erstaunlich. http://jackthetab.org ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2004 #47 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
