Absolutely stuuunning! Is it a candidate for the best concept album of all time? (Very possibly, as these are normally, how shall we charitably put it? Bo%%&ks about sums it up I feel :-)

Any more new releases on the horizon? What happened to Virtual Vices 5 and Moog 10 then?

You've been asked to choose your top ten tracks for a Fax compilation, the only condition being that they must fit on 2 CDs, so 160 mins max....which 10 do you plump for (and if you really love this sort of thing, why?) :-)

The Berkeley store is an old, cramped grocery store that expanded into the little store next door. The SF store is a converted bowling alley. They probably both have similar size collections, but the Berkeley store is much, much more crowded. The SF store is also much, much busier, especially on the weekends. Each store has better collections in some things than the other (SF: electronica, DVDs, jazz; Berkeley: classical, reggae/dub, hip-hop); mostly due to the influence of the respective buyers at each location. Neither has much in the way of Fax/RI anymore since CUE moved, but you'll still find the occasional used disc or two and they do tend to stock the AW and MP3 releases. Today I saw used copies of Shades of Orion (AW) and Elixir of Life. The general scarcity of Fax seems to be in direct proportion to the number/frequency of Fax releases. The longer it takes Pete to release something, the even longer it takes for Amoeba to start stocking them again. Still, I don't think you'll be able to spend any amount of time in either store and not find something you've been looking for... I just want to make it to the Hollywood store sometime...

Not clear if we are talking about "many people" on this List or people out there generally? I for one 'actively like' about 75 Fax releases, which is about half the number of Fax releases I have actually heard over the years. Of those 75 there are probably a third that I would seriously fret (ie.lose sleep!) over if I was to lose/damage my copy & it was out-of-print. Personally speaking, I can not think of a single individual that I know in the real world (as opposed to the cyber world) who has even heard of Namlook... apart from my kids... who get force fed Fax music whenever they are in my car... & think some of it is hilarious! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 08:31:15 -0800 From: "Greg" Subject: Re: (fax) Record shops in San Francisco?? In my opinion I think the SF store is a LOT better than Berkeley. I was just at the Berkeley store one week ago. They have a good selection of electronica stuff, but the SF store has a LOT more used stuff and newer material(all types of electronica). You can also listen to cds at the SF one. Plus, if you DJ or have turntables they have a LOT more albums and 12 inches.... - ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Jones" To: "Fax list" Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 12:05 AM Subject: Re: (fax) Record shops in San Francisco?? > On Nov 21, 2004, at 17:13, Rafael Almeria wrote: > > I understand that the big Amoeba store is near Berkeley.

I probably really like about 15 releases of fax stuff and most of it is always collaborations..I have bought a lot of his stuff since the mid 90s and have sold about 50 percent of the cds I originally bought. I don't like hardly any of the ' pure ambient' cds. I also do not know of anyone ever knowing who Pete Namlook is. Of course I don't talk about music all that much with other people. Most would think its just too 'weird' anyway. In the US, Synth music is not very popular at all.

Where are you from, Greg? can i quantify his statement? i think house/techno/etc don't fall under the guise of "synth music" in the views of a lot of people. "synth music" (whatever that is) seems to describe more making music and making it interesting and exploring sonic possibilities, experimentation. dance music isn't as concerned with that - it doesn't have to be, just so long as you can dance to it. and in case any fans of club-oriented sounds get upset, it's not a slight against techno/house/etc. trust me, i'm not going to slight a music that occupies around half of my collection. ;) micah stupak benthic recordings : soundings from unexplored places micah@benthic.cc .. www.benthic.cc - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 10:20:58 -0800 From: "Greg" Subject: Re: (fax) How many of us are there? I'm from California..popular, what type of electronica?? its NOT ambient. The ONLY synth type of music that might be kind of popular is House or Trance dance crap...other than this form of muisc, 99 percent of people couldn't tell you what Ambient, IDM, or any other underground electronic music is..why is it that a BIG selling electronica cd is MAYBE 2,000 copies...come on, this is almost ridiculous even disscussing. The bottom line is most everyone thinks this is 'weird' music, doesn't matter if you live in the US or other countries...The only stuff that sells is electronica with heavy beats and has some vocals in it....Air, Chemical Brother's, Digweed, Sasha, DJ Tiesto and a few other's. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "wallace winfrey" To: Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 10:28 AM Subject: Re: (fax) How many of us are there? > On Mon, 22 Nov 2004, Greg wrote: > > > In the US, Synth music is not very popular at all. > > Well, maybe not as popular as Nelly or Eminem, but I'd say it has a pretty > healthy following.

That's a pretty grand generalization. I am subscribed to 14 different mailing lists for electronica, including Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jarre, The Orb, KLF, Banco De Gaia, Orbital, FAX... I have 1200 electronica CDs, of which about 165 are FAX. Most of the people I know have a slew of music, too... Electronica is not "popular" in that it reaches 500,000 copies -- but that doesn't mean 10,000 or 50,000 copies can't be sold. Meat Beat Manifesto? Orbital? Orb? They all sell records at a much greater number than 2,000. I'm sure if FAX had a bigger budget, or if Pete even cared to be more "popular", he could be. It's quite obvious that his intentions are different. I just bought some FAX cds from a guy on the Orb list, so there is definitely cross-over and general knowledge of the label in other electronic music forums.
