Commerical as hell and almost cheesy but has a nice techy edge to it and a dollop of acid.Very uplifting. You need to listen with an "open mind" and enjoy!

I just bought this set today and what a discovery! I have only listened to the first cd so far, "Looks Like Rain" a beautiful atmospheric listening experience just like ambient electronica which I normally listen to and it just so happens that there was a summer rain shower with a little thunder occuring outside my window at the time!. Don't be put of by the "Country Music" tag this music goes way beyond that discription.
If You like Emeralds or the works of Daniel Lopatin you will love this "Drone Trip"

The thing I like most about FAX is you dig out a cd from your collection which you have'nt listened to in a long while and suddenly it all sounds "new" again and has not dated. This new remastered reissue is wonderful example of experiencing that initial listening experience that touched you the first time.... all over again.
It's no suprise that it's already sold out.
This is a future FAX classic.

Namlook and his FAX label now in it's second decade releasing some great electronica. The fact that he is still around says alot and he has never lost his "hunger" for exploring new sounds and ideas which for me always have an emotional touch which other electronic artists and labels lack.
Without doubt One of John Lydons greatest vocal performance since his Public Image Ltd.days.
For me Discreet Music is the ultimate ambient album. Listen to it when you wake up in the morning - its the sound of a new day dawning and it makes you feel good to be alive. It resonates with whatever enviroment you happen to be in at any given time.
No collection is complete without it.
This album is essential late night listening. Very atmospheric. Love the picture of Joan Crawford on the sleeve where her face is superimposed over a speeding train. The image perfectly fits with the the music on the record. This is a still frame from one of her movies. Any film buffs out there know which one?
