THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED FAX IN THE LAST 5 YEARS... NEW RELEASES THIS WEEK >>>> pre FAX Compilation : (Pete Namlook & Collaborators) This 2CD set contains music of Pete Namlook and collaborators from the time before he started his own label. CD 1 contains Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Fusion and Electronic Music (1983-1990) that shows the roots of today's FAX music. CD 2 shows the development that happened to Namlooks music when he started to work with different DJs and artists of the Frankfurt Techno scene for the first time. In the beginning there was DJ Criss (Christian Thier) who connected Pete with Pascal F.E.O.S. ...who connected Pete with Maik Maurice and Atom Heart. The releases you hear on this record are the very beginning and the primary cell for the start of what lies now in front of us... nearly 300 products within 5 years and quite some innovations that have come from FAX. =46or those who followed the label for some time and always wanted to know where all this music came from ...this CD is a MUST. For those who just got hooked through Namlook's recent invention "Electronic Fusion Music" it might be interesting to have a look to the future ...by listening to the past of this outmost prolific and innovative musician. Just listen to some of the pieces and look at the year when they were created ... there will be more than one surprise.... Look into the future by listening to the past =46ax+49-69/450464 NEW RELEASE THIS WEEK headphone records.... artist : SYSTEM ERROR album title : NOTHING Autumn 97 sees the first release on 'headphone' , a new label set up by Bobby Bird of Higher Intelligence Agency primarily to release work produced in collaboration with other artists. The first of these, 'nothing' by system error is a collaboration with sound / visual artist Brian Duffy. 'The album is called 'nothing' because thats essentially what it derived from. We wanted to reveal the hidden voice of sampling technology and play the samplers rather than the samples. Using no input signals at all, we just sampled nothing and looked really closely at it.We used every glitch and software fault and tried to listen to what the machines had to say' What it reveaed was surprisingly warm and organic, not what you would expect from what is basically the random electron movement of the circuitry's normally inaudible background noise. =46rom warm tones moving in impossible ways , to ice cold glacial soundscapes, 'nothing' is an evocative, hypnotic and sensual trip into the heart of the machine..... distributed by faxlabel............out now........ respects c . u . e .
