This listing has been through a lot of changes and because of this it has become more than just a listing of releases on the Apollo label. Following suggestions from various netters, it now boasts some funky new sections that allow for even more information; OTHER RELEASES This section covers releases not covered by the 'general release' section and is intended to cover promos, limited editions, R&S/Apollo 2x12" packs, and anything else that is unusual/collectable/downright sexy. REVIEWS One criticism of discographies is that the listings hold no clues as to whether the releases are actually any good or not. The REVIEWS section changes this by supplying small five-line (approx.) reviews which will hopefully give an indication as to the quality of a release. This section could conceivably grow to be bigger than the discography itself but what the heck, eh? As it grows, it will probably be shunted to end of the discography. ARTIST LIST This contains some brief information (where known) about Apollo artists. As with the REVIEWS section it is hard to know where to draw the line between brief artists details and a full discography for each artist. As a rule, there will be a brief description and then a listing of Apollo releases for each artist. If you want to know of any more of their material on other labels, I suggest you search for their discographys elsewhere. You could even compile your own :-) Feedback on these changes would be greatly appreciated as while they're fun to compile, I can see how they are not actually that useful. The reviews especially are likely to differ from person to person and so could well be a complete waste of time, depending on your point of view. Anyway, if you have any mini-reviews, more artist information or more importantly, discography additions/modifications, please let me know through one of the contax at the end of this file. Right, the discography starts below. Have fun kids! Hugs n'kisses, AMB 49CiM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 INTRODUCTION : A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO APOLLO The Apollo label is the ambient division of R&S Records based in Belguim. Whilst it has artists who only release on the Apollo label (e.g. Biosphere) it also features releases from R&S artists issuing ambient LP/12"/EP's (e.g. Robert Leiner, Ken Ishii, etc). Because of this link to the techno material available on R&S, the general style of Apollo releases tends to be ambient-techno. Many releases have beats (usually with low BPMs) instead of tending to the beatless and more minimal forms of ambient music. Apollo 12" releases have a catalogue number in the form of APOLLO <number>. Album catalogue numbers currently take the form AMB <number> LP/CD/MC/.. The <number> for albums is usually in the form 39xx (where xx is the issue number) or for more recent issues, 49xx. Like R&S catalogue numbers, this reflects the year (eg. AMB 39xx is for the year 1993, AMB 49xx for 1994, etc). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

DISCOGRAPHY The discography will attempt to be in order of catalogue number. As a rule, the catalogue numbers follow each other chronologically, although this isn't always the case (eg. the Apollo Compilation). Each release will contain the following information; Cat. no : The catalogue number of the release. Artist : The name of the artist/act for this release. This could well be an alias for an artist who might release material under a number of different names. Release : The name of the album/12"/EP released. Format : The media that the release was issued on (usually vinyl, compact disc and occasionally cassette). Tracks : The list of tracks appearing on the release. Where available, track playing times and remix names are given. Notes : Any relevent information about the artist or release. In some cases this has been expanded on in the 'Artist list' section at the end of the discography. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Apollo : 12"/EP Releases This includes all 12" releases in Belgium only or in Europe on general release.

REVIEWS This section contains some brief opinions about some Apollo releases and will hopefully give you an idea about what to buy and what to avoid. Bear in mind this is all in the reviewer's opinion only! Flow your reviews (maximum 6 lines only, please) to u9323899@sys.uea.ac.uk in the format/ style as shown below and if they're any good, in they go! Stick your name/net alias after the review if you wish. Ideally your reviews will be on releases not already listed below, but if you violently disagree with any existing ones, send those too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- APOLLO 8 Ken Ishii : Deep Sleep Many find Ishii's electronica awkward to listen to; this however is a polished release. Strange electronic loops burble over lush chords and make it a refreshingly different Apollo release. <CiM> APOLLO 12 Biosphere : Seti Project More trademark metallic darkness from Geir Jensenn. Worth checking out for the superior remix of "The Fairy Tale". The title track, whilst hardly being ambient, is dark, fast and very tasty indeed. <CiM> AMB 926 [Various] : Apollo Compilation An excellent compilation showcasing early Apollo material. Highlights are the analogue tweakery of Atlantis' "Paradise" and the lush dreaminess of the David Morley tracks. The Orb remix is a bit disappointing though, IMHO of course. <CiM> AMB 3921 Biosphere : Microgravity Although not as polished as Patashnik, Microgravity still maintains Jensenns unsettling ambient-techno. "Baby Interphase" is a clattering trance number where as "Biosphere" is just downright scary. <CiM> AMB 3922 Aphex Twin : Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Although vastly dissimilar to Selected Ambient Works Vol.2, this album is also totally brilliant. Richard James covers all areas here with beatless ambience ("i"), airy techno ("Pulsewidth") and even ventures into the world of dub ("We Are The Music Makers"). There are a few filler tracks here but most of it is James at his best and most accessible. <CiM> AMB 3929 Locust : Weathered Well Scary, deep ambience from Locust; it's accomplished but unsettling stuff. Aphex comparisons abound with drifting synth sounds and some nasty metallic beats but it has a menacing atmosphere to it. Impressive but don't buy this if you like your ambience cheerful. <CiM> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ARTIST LIST This contains some brief information (where known) about some Apollo artists. APHEX TWIN The Aphex Twin is Richard D. James from Cornwall, England. Richard has recorded under many aliases (AFX, Polygon Window, The Caustic Window, etc) but the Aphex Twin is his most familiar pseudonym. "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" was released following a number of R&S releases ("Analogue Bubblebath Vol.1" and "Xylem Tube EP"). The Aphex Twin has now signed to Warp Records but still releases material on his own RePhleX label. Apollo releases: - AMB 3922 : Selected Ambient Works 85-92 [LP] BIOSPHERE Biosphere is Geir Jenssen from Tromsoe, Norway. Before his Biosphere project, he was a member of Norwegian band Bel Canto.

Kirk and Stephen Mallinder, although most of the input for "The Conversation" LP was provided by Richard.

The Apollo album was also released on Rising High, under the title of "Flying High". Apollo releases: - AMB 3924 : The Irresistable Force [LP] ISHII, KEN Ken Ishii is from Tokyo and has released most of his unconventional electronic music on R&S. "Deep Sleep" is (currently) his only release for Apollo but he has a retrospective LP on R&S ("Innerelements") which features selected tracks from his many releases on R&S and also Apollo. His R&S releases include the acclaimed 2x12" pack "Garden Of The Palm", "Pneuma" and also his new "Tangled Notes" 12". Apollo releases: - APOLLO 8 : Deep Sleep [12"] JAM & SPOON Better known for their trancey-pop material, Jam & Spoon curently have a big deal with Epic which resulted in chart success in England and in Europe. Jam El Mar also works with DJ Dag under the name Dance 2 Trance, who also enjoyed chart success with "Power Of American Natives" and "Take A Freefall". Apollo releases: - AMB 3930 : Tripomatic Fairy Tales 2002 [LP] LEINER, ROBERT Robert Leiner is an engineer in the R&S studios in Belgium.

Apollo releases: - APOLLO 9 : Dream Or Reality [12"] - AMB 3925 : Visions Of The Past [LP] LOCUST Locust is Mark Van Hoen from England. Although having previous releases, he is probably better known for his engineering and remix work with ambient guitar group Seefeel. Both "Lust" and "Tamed" from "Weathered Well" were also released on the "Skysplit" EP (RS93031) on R&S. He has recently been working with other collaboraters under the name Autocreation on the Orb's InterModo label.

Apollo releases: - APOLLO 14 : Slumber [12"] MODEL 500 Juan Atkins is one of the originators of the Detroit techno sound. Juan's early works are now being released as ambient material. R&S recently collected some old Model 500 tracks and released "The Classics" and Juan has also been working on new material with Thomas Fehlmann (3MB with Juan Atkins) which resulted in the "Jazz Is The Teacher" LP. Apollo releases: - APOLLO 3 : The Passage [12" Deleted] MOONWATER Moonwater is Maarten VD Vleuten.
