I bought Daniel Pemberton's "BEDROOM" FAX CD just last night.. a bit reluctant myself but curious nonetheless. On first impression, I love it! This is one of the best FAX CDs to come out yet I think. It's what I *wish* Future Sound of London or the Orb had done. I find it hard to describe a lot of ambient music but... it does start out a bit experimental and clunky and gets more into atmospheres & textures. He samples quite a bit... it sort of reminded me a bit of the recent FFWD album but better. At a couple of points I heard a guitar and "real drums" which gave a bit of a rock n'roll effect, and I thought, WHAT!??? but they didn't last very long and they certainly got me thinking. There's a bit of every genre and it's all quite creative and imaginative, I give him credit for that. It traverses all different moods, from very uplifting & happy in the middle to very dark and industrial towards the very end... yet it all flows together very well. I guess his creativity hasn't been stifled by adulthood. I must say, I'm impressed with this kid. What's his story anyway? I hear he's a 16 year old that used to be on R&S I think??? I look forward to hearing this one a lot more and hopefully more new stuff in the future! ___ / / / / / / _ __/ (_/__/ / (__ (__ ___/
