I think the problem with the Fax catalog is that there are just too many
fair/so-so releases. I wouldn't say I despise any of the albums I heard; I
can also say that I probably didn't give most of the stuff fair listen. I
was more skimming through, listening to a song or two from some selected
downloads. The ones to which I did give an honest chance weren't great if
you ask me. Namlook's Air album is nothing to me but a so-so dark minimal
ambient release. Same with the Silence album, although I did listen to
Silence 3 after your guidance, and I like it better than the first. I swam
through a lot of the Namlook collabs and only liked a few. From Within w/
Richie Hawtin is very good. I think the most valuable artist on Fax would
have to be Tetsu Inoue. His releases are few but GOOD. Trying to wade
through Namlook's release and find the great ones is an almost ridiculous
task. And it's sad when even his most famous recordings can't touch the
other (non-Fax) glorified ambient of the 90's (Global Comm., Biosphere,
etc.).
