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

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.....
