Reviews & Discussion
I must say: Peter Namlook is a great mam, who has created an unconventional, but ingenious in its simplicity label, who released plenty of albums. Of course - some of them are better, some are not. But almost every of them has that 'thing', that makes you love it. He should be placed next to such people as Brian Eno - people who made the ambient genre recognisable.
A very important artist indeed. He's done some absolutely phenomenal stuff over the years - 4Voice, Hearts of Space, Silence, From Within, etc. My only problem is that he has no sense of quality control - he just pumps out an album, whether solo or collaborative, almost every month. There's just so many meaningless duds he's released over the years that most people will never hear the brilliance of the minority of his master pieces. Probably because there so damn expensive and near impossible to find. I've probably purchased at least thirty or so cd's with which he has had some input, but unfortunately have sold more than half of them soon after. Oh well, he's still a legend.
