Agreed, but AFAICT, in this thread the word "successor" is defined as the
list's focus of discussion. If that's the case, then a successor is on the
way (I know I'm tired of hearing/talking about Ae).

Cool, I'll have to check this out. Thank for the suggestion.

This is (especially) true with one of the great electronic labels of our
time, Fax. Sometimes a release will come out of Fax and be incredible, and
then something like Jet Chamber 5 slides by.
I'll argue that the idea that some unknown artist will come out of left
field is as probable as Namlook emerging again right from beneath our noses
to be the IDM god for the double aughts. Has anyone here ever heard
Solarized by Namlook? It's an IDM opus.
And, *imho*, Ozoona (Namlook and Gordon together like chocolate and peanut
butter) has replaced Balil's Parasight as the optimal IDM record. Fax is
supposed to be an ambient label, but IDM abounds in its ranks and Namlook is
at the helm.
Btw, this is all pure subjective opinion representing my individual tastes.
Take it or leave it.
Now, back to lurking...
