final hours for these two auctions: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=semutanine&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 VUEMORPH "In Expectancy of the Monumental Awe" Silent Records, SR9578 CD) BIOSPHERE + PETE NAMLOOK "The Fires of Ork" Apollo, AMB 3928 CD infos: A full length solo album from prolific Romanian producer Dan Handrabur. He also records as Crystalline, Mere Mortals, Off'n'Gone (with Phil Western), Floatpoint, Xdrone (with Adham Shaikh), Nemos, Dreamlogic, Weed, and Outersanctum. In addition, he has worked on many releases from veteran producer Cevin Key (platEAU, Download, Skinny Puppy, etc), Frontline Assembly, and other Vancouver-based musicians, as well as game (EA Games) and video soundtracks. You know if these folks are in need of Handrabur's skills he must have talent indeed. This is his excellent ambient-slanted album for the important Silent Records in the mid 90's. Silent released many essential ambient albums of the time. This is a fine ethnomorphic/IDM-influenced downtempo CD that is sort of hard to find due to the collapse of Silent Records in '98. A classic release from a highly underrated artist. Sometimes it sounds like very early Autechre(incunabula), at other times it's similar to some of the more curious Fax sublabel releases. This composer moves effortlessly from uplifting moods to darker/stranger ones. If you are into the dub-influenced Interchill label artists, the Instinct Ambient stuff, em:t, Biosphere, or even some of the more synthetic Roach/Timeroom material, you will come to love this album. It's an exquisite production that stands up to repeated listens over the passing of time. This is an extra copy, I would never sell my original. Check out his other stuff too! As a radio DJ I actually had many copies of this CD at one time, and gave them away to friends as gifts to illustrate what well-produced ambient electronic music sounds like. I have no doubt this musician will become more visible as he continues to release such fine music. Groundbreaking 1993 release featuring Gier Jenssen in collaboration with Faxlabel founder Pete Namlook. This album contains 2 versions of the deep trance title track, a 20-minute long space-ambient selection, and the excellent "Talk to the Stars". Sprinkled with samples from Blade Runner, and top notch production quality. A great opportunity to hear the early stages of the Biosphere/Namlook sound. This is not the original edition, but rather the Apollo reissue which is also quite rare and hard to find (the music is identical to the original Fax release). The original Fires of Ork album is one of the 'holy grails' from the early Faxlabel period, limited to 500 copies and released about a week after the original 2350 Broadway. thanks for looking __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
