Subject: (amb) Jet Chamber 4 misfire!
What's up with Jet Chamber 4? I ordered it together with Silence 3 and
Octopus 3 from EAR/Rational the other week and was extremely excited when
the postman rang last Friday. JC2 and JC3 are two of my favorite FAX
releases and so I couldn't wait for the next instalment. Well, I've given
it repeated listens through speakers and headphones (where JC3 really comes
alive IMHO) and........nothing! I haven't been so disappointed since the
last track on Ozoona! Where JC3 was tightly played, quirky and
interesting, and offered an innovative tack on the whole d&b thing, this
seems really flabby to me. I *like* FAX releases that "go nowhere," but
this one just doesn't seem to go anywhere *interesting*.
Track 1, Zappel Jazz is OK, but sounds like an out-take from JC3 which has
fallen victim to the "Gig in the Sky" virus of Euro-cheez jazz-noodling.
It's the sort of stuff I used to try to play on my guitar when I was 17 to
try to impress girls (who knew better).
Track 2, Clearing your Head is better, but not stellar. The parts do not
flow together as well as some of the longer tracks on JC3, and for a
"quiet" JC track I'd much rather listen to "Calm Box."
Track 3, The Third Option. Mmmm. I was expecting something as exciting as
"Outer Rotation." Instead, 12 minutes of drones and pulses. Not
necessarily bad. I've paid $40 for CDs of drones and pulses before (2350
Broadway, for one), but this one bores me. I keep turning it off before it
gets to the end.
Am I missing something here? I know you can't have perfection all the
time, especially given the prolific output of the label, but usually with
every FAX record I get my hands on there is at least one track that has
something about it that transcends the ordinary and makes me think or feel
differently about music. I just didn't get that with this one at all. I'd
love to get some other opinions.

G'day,
I'm a bit worried now - I'm getting "Jet Chamber 4" next week! Oh well...
Anyway, Namlook is going through the 'jazz noodling' phase at the moment.
Some of it works, some of it doesn't, IMHO. This one (from all the reviews
I've read) generally fails to excite. I for one hope his 'jazz/fusion'
thang is reaching an end, but I understand the need for an artist to
explore different territories (though this sounds like a regression - see
"Pre-FAX Compilation").

I listened to this at my buddy's house just the other day and was
really digging both Zappel Jazz and Clearing Your Head. I thought
both tracks demonstrated fairly clearly that Namlook and Atom Heart
have pretty much mastered the art of "live" or realtime electronic
recording, the programming seems to interact with Pete's guitar and
vice versa. Plus, both tracks descend at some point to a lovely,
quiet passage, and return with great lively reprises. So don't
worry! ;)

I guess it's just what you're into, or not. I like the jazz noodling, I'm
not accustomed to that sort of thing so maybe my fresh ears are doing
something. It is very much in line with the other Jet Chamber releases in
my view.

Subject: (atom) review: Flextone
Flextone (RI023)
Ultra-slick production and an eclectic selection of sounds are two of
strengths of the Rather Interesting label. Flextone is no exception. With
his own label, Atom Heart starts right from release #1. The lush and
colorful graphic designs more then compensate for the minimalist stance of
RI's mother label, Fax. There are no hints of talent-in-infancy here, no
suggestions that certain techniques should be more refined and less archaic
sounding. By the time Uwe Schmidt started his own label in September 1994,
he obviously had much musical experience and a well-formed idea that here
in his completely self-created forum, would he perform and exhibit
everything he learned from releases on so many previous labels. No genre
or style is spared, no production strategies left idle.
01-alaska: The name of the first track suggests a vast and chilled domain.
This is a house track to hear. A solid 4otF pumping bassdrum is the
foundation for sticky, morphing handclaps, a funky snare, and synthesized
Fizz-Wizz candy pops. A simple yet playful melody completes a collection
of oddly chosen sounds for a kickin' house stomper. Despite all these
aural oddities, "alaska" is still somehow archetypical and iconic in
nature. Call it a well-spent 5'55''.
02-flextone B: Songs like these are part of the reason people are driven
to collect hundreds upon hundreds of records. Some songs are so purely
satisfying that they seem transparent, as if their coded vibrations speak
directly to the emotional centers, bypassing completely anything in the
way of their message. And the message here is complete musical
contentment. A "must-hear" if you will. Wonderfully layered, those who
appreciate "Plexus Solaris" from Zenith would really dig this track which
shares a similar melody pattern, but from a lumbering rhythmic
perspective.
03-afterwords, i felt better: The title suggests the theraputic approach,
with cyclical drones and a colorfully sequenced combo of hi-hats and
distorted rims. The overall effect shows kinship to Orange [monochrome
stills], Cymatic Scan, or parts of Flashback Signal without the beats.
04-rather abstract: Flextone's resident Atom Heart noodler. And this is
not meant to be a put-down. Here, the theoretical sound is captured with
clicks, a hi-hat that sounds like sequenced tinnitus, and occasional
static bursts all mapped onto a steady, mid-tempo 4otF. Begins and ends
with suspenseful synth riffs.
05-sound: Reminds me of the track "Home Sweet Home" from Softcore. Very
clinical... hold still, the master is at work. Various pulsations are
forced through filters that give the effect of brightening and dulling the
sounds at smooth, alternating intervals. Definitely stirs up the overall
flow of the album.
06-instant replay: A common track title among ambient psychedelicacies.
It's packed with crazy twiddly noises, schizoid hi-hat chirps, and a 303
that sounds like it inhaled some helium before coming into the studio.
Sort of in the Bitniks vein, assorted choppy percussive segments and wierd
glitchlike synth spasms galore.
07-FLE: Has that fishtank feel: slow moving giants floating here and
there.... migrating. Unidentifiable, yet definitely in the vicinity.
About 90 seconds into it and what's this?! Yes, it's a lumbering house
rhythm that comes forth! No mistakin' it. The free feeling I associate
with housey beats collides with a mysterious background wash unwilling to
reveal its true nature. How he gets two incompatable styles like this to
work is truely amazing. Salient, trickley water droplets give the
impression that your headphones are sweating, or perhaps dripping with
early morning dew.
08, 09: These songs don't have any titles on the CD, but are certainly
worth hearing. Don't want to give all the surprises away do we?!
10-untitled: For me, the album's most challenging track. A pulsating
rhythm stirs up a handful of clean bleep-bloops and what sounds like
sampled mome-rath mating calls. You know, from Alice....
Also available as a double vinyl set.

Good Morning...
There is a Daisyworld website, though it is largely in Japanese, or, as it
comes up on my browser, seemingly random characters. In any case, the
address is:
http://www.daisyworld.co.jp/
There are some very nice, mono real audio samples from what seem to be the
recent/upcoming Daisyworld releases, including Swing Slow, HAT, and
Daisyworld Tour. Go to the following page:
http://www.daisyworld.co.jp/fr-disc.html
Hit the first hot text under the heading "around daisy world" and then a
page with album covers for "Daisyworld Tour" and "HAT" will come up. Then
you choose any of the linked artist names next to the album and that takes
you to the page with the real audio links.
Still trying to find someplace that carries these...any ideas?

from memory:
the Milagro single is essentially variations on the first song on
Morphogenetic Fields. i remember listening to it at the record store 3-4
years ago and not picking it up, thinking that the four or five mixes all
sounded a little too similar to the orginal to be worth $11.

I'd have to agree with Jeff's take on "Milagro". I suppose if you
liked "Morphogenetic Fields" a lot, then it'd certainly make a nice
companion. This single and its corresponding album would also appeal to
those of you who liked "A.D." by Almost Digital (on Hypnotism).
As far as "Whitehouse" goes, I've only got the 12"... it's a techno
track based heavily around one of DHS's songs ("House Of God" I think, but
I can't remeber). Why, do you have a lead on the cd single for this? I'll
take it if you don't want it. ;}

Subject: (atom) Review: Dots
Dots (RI024)
Release #2 on RI sees the escape from the dancefloor and the entrance to
the elevator. Where are we headed? No matter, 7 slices of "hi-res mellow
textures" will fill your listening area for the moment. Being the only
beatless RI disc to date, Dots (elevator music) turns to other methods of
evoking atmospheres and gelatinous pixels. Most of the arrangements
feature several interwoven textures which take turns gently flowing into
each other, engaging in a sort of mutualism. Various surfaces enhance and
subdue each other through filmy layerings. From the cascading chimes of
Friendly Cortex to the contemplative melody of Dense, Dots features a rich
sonic palette that paints up the room.
The title track consists of a simple repetitive theme that continually
morphs into other shapes and sizes. A subdued bassey glow enhances the
theme and sprinkles of cleverly engineered bleeps and gnoodles add a slight
irregularity.
Track 3 gives me the impression of someone playing jazz at hi volume in
some distant unit in my apartment building... sometimes I wish I could join
them. The track is called Seaweed and for me the one sound most suggestive
of any marine life is introduced exactly 54" into it. A rippling evening-
beam ripples and brightens the temporal lobes. The drifting yet rooted
plants of Tarkovsky's _Solaris_ or the ending film sequence from Kurosawa's
_Dreams_ comes to mind.
The Spinout Segment alone is worth finding the album. A hefty 12' chunka
upliftin' amm-bee-ants... Some elements remind me of those used in Chill
in Chill out from Organic Cloud...extremely "elevating."
Dots concludes with Tonic Edge, a filled out scale of electrochimes that
shift tempo and reveal interplay of the track's fine structure, which,
little by little, disassembles itself and drifts away.

Yay.
Last Wednesday Uwe & Lisa's daughter was born! Louise Miharu weighed
in at 2885g, and a healthy 46cm. I guess she just couldn't wait one more
day to make it a lucky 23rd. Heh.
Anyway, Happy Birthday from your mother (list)! :)

The HAT disc comes with a far superior picture sleeve - a crop circle
in the shape of the `HAT' logo. The LISA CARBON cd has two extra/exclusive
tracks (one of them is well worth it). The DATACIDE is the same.

"DSP Holyday". It should be coming out very soon.

No, actually it wasn't. Dave at EAR/Rational is looking into how much
they are going to be costing and plans to start carrying Daisy World
releases if everything works out alright. He can be contacted at:

Just wondering if anyone knows where I may be able to obtain a copy of MU,
by masters of psychadelic ambiance. If you are looking to sell, please
please let me know and we can work something out. I'm rather desperate to
get my hands on it. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
