Since this initial post, though it's only been a few days, I've gotten a
better impression of Namlook. I listened to a few more of his releases (Jet
Chamber series, Escape, The Fires of Ork), and I'd say he does have some
very good albums. I personally wouldn't call any of his stuff (that I've
heard) "great;" I don't through that word around very much.

I listened to them again...they were better the second time. Maybe in a
year or so I'll feel the same way about them as you do.

I guess, but I haven't really been impressed by enough of them to really
have a field day.

Well, it might be more inconvenient than it would be fun. I think in this
case there's just too much material. I'd rather know what the best/most
representative releases are and get them. And if I like them, I can go
through the rest and find my personal teddy bear albums.

I would imagine so :) Anyway, I'm sure you understand Namlook/FAX a lot
more than I do. But this is what I've thought about it so far...
