just a "warning":
"Elektro" is very enjoyable (and it is in no way "Electro"), but it is very
misrepresentative of 90% of the FAX label output, so be carefule using it
as an initial datapoint.
FAX makes some great stuff, but most of it has nowhere near the pounding
beat content of Gorl's EBM tinted duo with Namlook. FAX is known primarily
as the premier "ambient" label, and most of the stuff is much more
"soothing", due to the fact that most of the collaborator's don't have
industial music roots.
although, not all the output is great, most of it is good, and the odds are
almost in your favor to play "German Roullette" in the FAX bin.
nonetheless,
my top 5 would be:
Weschelspannung
Alien Community I+II
A Day In The Park
Namlook 10: Monolith
Xandadix I+II
enjoy, and i hope your savings account is flush......
