purlieu Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Latest reissue on Biophon, a very long-awaited 2CD set of the two albums Geir recorded with Pete Namlook in the '90s. Not remastered as he said the originals sound perfect as they are. https://firesofork.bandcamp.com/album/the-fires-of-ork Official release date is the 22nd but mine's shipped already.

BUNKUM Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Oh nice, have had the digital on my want list for ages but will definitely get the CD reissue. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kichiguy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Some of this hasn't aged too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Noice, this is probably my favorite Namlook collab. Some of this hasn't aged too well. I guess I know what you mean. It has the distinctive early 90s intelligent techno feel with stereotypical Bladerunner samples and everything but I still love the whole thing. Early Biosphere has a certain atmosphere that I haven't really heard replicated by anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I think it's aged fine. I mean it's definitely of its era, but it still sounds good. Really hoping the two HIA / Namlook albums come out on a similar set at some point - I think Bobby is considering it. And then to complete the triptych, the two Biosphere / HIA albums.

Out on digital on Bobby’s bandcamp. Aye - though I recommended a 2CD set to him on Facebook a few weeks back and he replied saying good idea. The originals, as with so many FAX releases, cost a fortune so it'd be nice to get an affordable set, like this Fires of Ork release and the Dark Side of the Moog boxes. Shit, I just realised, I don't know whether to put The Fires of Ork in the Biosphere section or the Namlook section of my CD collection when it comes.

purlieu Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Such an underrated musician. Freefloater is one of my favourite IDM records. A touch of Tri Repetae in it, I always found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
