FINE, here goes:
anyone here no know of any artists who were approached to do
a FAX project and turned it down?
I like FAX, but at times Pete and the boys can get a little
boring as they noodle around with their old analogue EML
synthis and whatnot. It'd be interesting to know if someone
like RDJ, ORB, GC, WOOB and other artists, who make great
ambient tracks in one tenth the time Pete sometimes takes to
get his ambient thing going, declined an offer for a FAX
project. Yes, ambient is to be slow and mellow and (fill in
your own adjective). But I wouldn't be surprised if an
artist like Mark Pritchard said "Well pete, we love doing
slow tracks and all, but we don't care to take 30mins of CD
space before we get our listener's attention, so we'll pass"
just curious b/c Pete N does get some great talent (i.e. J
Sharp, D. Moufang, Tetsuo I, among others) and sometimes you
wonder where the talent goes as you've heard your 50th
minute of the same filter sweep.
i can see it now FILA BRAZILLIA AND PETE NAMLOOK do the
slowest trip hop/down tempo music known to man. 808 at
20bpm! it could work.
