Ok. I don't think a top 25 list is necessarily expected to be made up only of "must have" albums. It usually just means the 25 albums you like the best, but I guess everyone has their own interpretation. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 10:32:00 +0100 From: Paul Milligan Subject: (fax) Best of 04 so far? on 28/05/2004 8:15 am, jackthetab at ambient@nycap.rr.com wrote: > i can find 25 albums i like, but not 25 that would fit on a > "must have" list. My own personal definition of "must have" would be those few releases that, without them, I would feel something was missing from my life. I could probably only rustle up 25 or so including ALL artists/labels/genres. However, there are without doubt (and at the very least) 25 releases on the Fax label of extremely worthwhile music ... I'm sure we can all agree on that! Please, no dissenting voices from anyone who's only heard 24 Fax releases, or only played each of their Fax albums once! So, getting back to the music, what are the TWO best release so far in 04? I need to place an order. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 03:01:10 -0700 From: "sanvara" Subject: Re: (fax) Best of 04 so far? > So, getting back to the music, what are the TWO best release so > far in 04? I need to place an order. Move D - Pop for Dwoozle stands out as the best of the four releases from 2004. Great album. The other three are all pretty experimental. I like Namlook - Music for Urban Meditation best of those other three. It's pretty nice minimalist droning ambience. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 11:23:01 +0100 From: Richard Hughes Subject: (fax) Best of 04 so far? >So, getting back to the music, what are the TWO best release so >far in 04? I need to place an order. Hmm - well there's only been 4 *new* releases - The MoveD album is undoubtedly the best followed by perhaps Earthling from Stoll. On the other hand you could get the new MoveD and the new Deep Space Network album out on Source (Raise This Flap)which is well worth a listen. ********************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.

If you like beatless minimal ambient music (e.g. Live at SEL I/S/C), you MUST get Music for Urban Meditation. I really love this release since I listened to it first, and it sure will be one of my alltime favs. It doesn't have any Namlookish melodies or synths. Gotta write a review for this one soon... pp.nmlk is more experimental, with some timestretched beats. It didn't catch me so far, but I'll have to listen to it again... If you like techno too, I recommend Steve Stoll "Was Here". I wonder why this hasn't been released on vinyl yet, because there are some a$$kicking tracks on it!

I was kind of let down by Eisblumen, but your regard for it has motivated me to give it another spin today. As far as beat-oriented stuff, I'd say Psychonavigation 5 might be a good thing to check out. Although, some weren't too happy with this release, so you might want to get another opinion on this before you seek it out. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.

The best Fax I love FoO 2 and SoO 1 & 2! People do slag them a bit, but they tend to be the people who really like MFUM and the Stoll releases ;-) I'd bet you'd like SHADO 1+2 as well if you haven't tried them. I wonder if FAX list people tend to fall into 2-4 distinct "camps" in terms of preferred releases. There seems to be correlation between what people like what style of releases. If these camps could be identified, and people could say which camp they belong to, then it would make understanding people's recommendations/ratings/points-of-view that much easier. If I'm in your camp and I say X release is worth having, then you know with a better certainty that you'll like it too. For instance, my tastes are more for the melodic, flowing, expansive, energetic, or beautiful releases, whether beat-ful or ambient. The no-beauty drones or beats, experimental or completely go-nowhere ambient usually doesn't do much for me. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 04:15:03 -0700 From: Raphael Almeria Subject: Re: (fax) The Fax of Life... The kind of grouping that you're talking about is more less what they use on Amazon.com to suggest new albums to you. It matches your purchases to things that others have bought and if the sets match closely then they suggest things that the other has bought that you haven't. They had a show about this on Dateline NBC, I think, a couple of years ago that interviewed the creator of this technology. I think it was some Comp Sci Professor at a midwestern University.

It probably wasn't until the 3rd listen a while later (when I wasn't really paying attention) that it piqued my interest a little. Maximilien does a good track breakdown so I'll stick to the big picture here. The whole album is quite coherent and flows well, yet each track is fairly distinct in flavor. This is great (mental) working music as it never rises too high in your conscious perceptions, yet still manages to dance in curious ways between your neurons. The tracks don't usually go anywhere in particular, instead taking a basic premise and permuting it around for the duration. Not having heard anything by Dandy Jack besides this and XJacks, I can't comment on the breakdown between his vs. Pete's contributions, but there is a unique slightly-warped motif that seems to be slightly non-FAXy, but in an effective and interesting way. I've never liked the two XJacks, but Silent Music definitely gives me a reason to give them a couple more tries -- just in case. Lastly, I too have to say track 3 is the real standout: extremely engaging pulsing ambient intrigue that deserves a listen by every FAX-head. Track 5 is a close second: very reminiscent of Inoue's atmospherics in Zenith and Electro Harmonix -- classic FAX. Not an absolute stunner, but definitely worth a go. You get a few excellent tracks with no clinker tracks. And it will definitely grow on you if you leave it on as background music. Rating: 6/10 (where 5 is strict average) ------------------------------ End of faxlist-digest V2004 #49 ******************************* --- + To post: ; to mail a person: + To unsubscribe: "unsubscribe" to + Online info at: www.faxlabel.com www.hyperreal.org/fax www.2350.org
