I am absolutely amazed by this guy ! Being only 13 years in the scene he already made INCREDIBLE ammount of albums and collaborations...and we are speaking of over 60 releases in 13 years ! This amazingly talanted musician is master at making ambient and electronic music, he experienced himself in trance and elektro genres as well and whatever he touches turns into gold or platinum for that matter. He is true genius and master of contemporary art music. A dizzyingly prolific composer who's steadily built up an entire industry around his Frankfurt-based Fax label, Namlook's name is inextricably linked with the post-rave resurgence of ambient music, and many of his solo and collaborative recordings with the likes of Mixmaster Morris, Tetsu Inoue, Klaus Schulze, Bill Laswell, Richie Hawtin, Geir Jenssen, Dr. Atmo, Burhan Ocal, Atom Heart, Jonah Sharp, Charles Uzzell-Edwards, and David Moufang, among many others, number among the most lauded and influential in new ambient. Although Namlook got his start releasing quasi-new age ( as Romantic Warrior ) and hard trance ( as Sequential, 4Voice, Escape, Deltraxx, and a host of others ), he and his label have become synonymous with new ambient since Fax began exclusively releasing the style shortly after the label formed in 1992. Fax helped give shape to ambient's new school by allowing the artists to freely experiment while making a living from their music. ( Fax's label structure confers the majority of its profits to its artists. ) Countless Fax releases, particularly those dating from 1993 and 1994, are considered classics of contemporary electronic ambient, and while the label has suffered a certain degree of repetition in recent years, Fax remains one of the most important and influential German electronic music labels. Namlook has been criticized for adopting a quality-over-quantity approach -- his label's release schedule was up to a CD per week for more than a year, and currently produces 24 per year, many of them Namlook's own, but he's succeeded in attracting a devoted, ravenous following that allows him and his label to continue releasing new music. Fax has released more than 250 full-length CDs, dozens of 12-inches, and several compilations -- including the sprawling 4-CD Ambient Cookbook, which remains the best introduction to the label -- and has expanded to included four Fax-related labels and two subsidiary labels ( Rather Interesting and Headphone, run by Atom Heart and Higher Intelligence Agency's Bobby Bird, respectively ). Musically, Namlook draws most recognizably on the synthscapes of artists such as Klaus Schulze and Hans Jochim Roedelius, combing the droning electronics of those artists with, depending on the project or collaborator, ethnic instrumentation ( tabla, tambouri, oud ), environmental samples ( rain, voices, arriving and departing trains, wildlife ), sweeping electronic treatments ( the bubbly undercurrents of Dreamfish or the drifting synthetic landscapes of 2350 Broadway ), and minimal acoustic and electronic rhythms ( jungle, electro, techno, and trance ). His collaborations tend to outdo his solo recordings, although a few of his solo works are among Fax's finest. Though hard to find, the two volumes of The Definitive Ambient Collection offer a good introduction to Namlook's early work. This guy is true master of the genre...

Completely insane !

BLUE PLANET CORPORATION - ANTIDOTE ( PLEIADIANS RMX )

Nice melodies but something is wrong with the kick...it is somehow too slow for these kind of melodies...there is too much breaking the rhythm in its structure, but it is very cute song in any case.

STEVE ROACH & VIR UNIS - BLOOD MACHINE Perfect ambience !

Pete Namlook - Toulin ( Spirit Of The Earth )

Can you do anti drug club lunch packages ?

Am I the only one that didn't like this album ? After reading all your ravings I thought that this will be KILLAR but it is in fact rather average sentimental album...I am so sorry for this kind of opinion, I even rarely have bad opinion of some album but this album surely is OVERRATED. It has certain level of sentimentalism clumsily combined with new age stuff...the only songs I like are Ott's remixes but the rest didn't grab me at all... I am sorry for THE ONLY bad review but that is how I feel...5/10

Going backwards ? np: Plastikman - Plasticity

Since many told you about new dark energetic trance, let me remind you of true roots of Dark Energetic Psychedelic Goa Trance: Slide - Unstable '98 X-Dream - Radio '98 Semsis - Letting Go '99 Toi Doi - Technologic '00 Darshan - Awakening '98 MFG - Project Genesis '98 Chi-A.D. - Anno Domini '99 UX - Ultimate Experience '97 Menis - Temporary Insanity '98 Psychaos - Cause And Effect '99 Neuromotor - Neuro Damage '01 Talamasca - Beyond The Mask '00 Cydonia - In Fear Of Red Planet '99 Children Of Paradise - Urban Alien '99 Xenomorph - Cassandra's Nightmare '98 Battle Of The Future Buddha - Twin Sharkfins '98 Battle Of The Future Buddha - Demonizer '02 Compilations : Score - Aurinko Catcher - Aurinko Schlabbaduerst Vol. 1 Schlabbaduerst Vol. 2 Schlabbaduerst Vol. 3 Schlabbaduerst Vol. 4 Schlabbaduerst Vol. 5 Mythical Vortex + many more...this is enough for the beginning.

RADIOHEAD - IDIOTEQUE !!! ONE OF THE BEST !

It is Peyote NT, get your facts straight before you bash as always.

Yeah, after Karma they completely went commerical, every single track has singing, and most of it is pure cheese. Yes, they are the same guys, with much more progressed ambient style than with Delerium.

It is defintely progressed in technical sense ( everything you described ), but it is not progressive in musical sense...Music is entirely psychedelic with strong hard and minimal pinches.

OKAY, IT IS GOA.

Ralf Hildenbeutel - Looking Beyond Stevie Be Zet - Archaic Modulation The Ambush - The Ambush

Battle Of The Future Buddhas - Leprechaun War Dub PERFECT !

I can add : Deviant Species - Hatch Chi-A.D. - Infinitsm ( I know it's Goa, but it is pure fantasy ) Chi-A.D. - Virtual Spirit ( Also Goasih but so magical ) I'll remember more later, have to go now...

Where minimal started yes, but progressive didn't even appear until 1999 with first Human Blue and Atmos trax... Radio surely is progressed style, but progressed psychedelic style with minimal structure, with no progressive elements at all...

No, I am not trying to be a wise guy, I was just stating the fact that that song SURELY is not goa trance, I mean where do you hear cyberdelic cosmic melodies in that track ? I LOVE that track but I can assure you it has nothing to do with goa trance...
