azatoth Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have a feeling I might have done this thread sometime before but did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Anyhoo, the Hawtin documentary thread had some youtubes of a Namlook docu and that got me interested in in listening to the blokes music and he has a shit ton of it and I doubt all of it is good. So what is worth checking out. I have Namlook/Move D - Space & Time album which is good, his album Jeux Dangereux under his Air pseudonym and then his collab with Higher Intelligence Agency S.H.A.D.O. which is great with that 90s IDMz sound. What else is worth checking out. I know he did the From Within collab with Hawtin, but I think I have heard something, but don't remember being super impressed by it.

SR4 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Shades of Orion II (w/ Tetsuo Inoue) solid ambient album...excellent for sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hanratty Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 from past research there seems to be some consensus on the better Fax albums. But from my own experience I think it is better to suspend judgement and let the ambience wash over you. Usually I fall asleep. I don't think that means it relaxed me or anything. Usually I am just tired from life and not enough happens in the music to keep me actively listening. Maybe I like the concept of Fax more that the actual music. It still intrigues me despite the fact that I am often bored by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 shades of orion 2 some of the Jet Chamber (Namlook w/ Atom Heart) series was ok... The Fires of Ork (w/ Biosphere) Dreamfish (w/Mixmaster Morris) some of the "Dark Side of the Moogs" were good, but there are so many i cant remember which ones...

Guest Fatcaesar Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I remember the good old days when I listened to DI.fm's Ambient channel, and they often played Namlook, but these days I often listen to: Namlook IV Psychonavigation - If I remember correctly, this series was good as well. Escape - I only like the Futurescape part, though it's some of the best ambient out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Speaking of Namlook/Inoue - the 2350 Broadway series is excellent - I haven't heard the fourth installment, but the first three are amazing. Pure sonic landscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
