referencing The Ambient Cookbook, 4xCD, aw 007
I am not sure how to approach or recommend this one. It seems a basic The Best Of FAX compilation, but I wonder if the selection of tracks is actually the best FAX had to offer on the respective albums. It surely gives a good look into what FAX/Namlook is about, but I'd treat rather as an invitation (to love) FAX-ambient. If you won't dig any of the two Cookbooks, don't bother with any other FAX record. However, if you know FAX, or if you only think you know it, skip this one. Better to get each album apart, as it is even hard to listen to this back-to-back.

This compilation represents the golden age of ambient when it reached a peak of beautification, soulful analog and structured rhythms....
The CookBook is a must. But oh so RARE! Too bad mine was stolen in 1997.
