Koolfang - Jambient Mar 14, 2009
I can see why this release is gradually fetching higher and higher prices, it definitely fits into the classification of a FAX classic.
The sounds are so laid-back but well constucted, this is no aimless sound.
The layers of ambient, jazz and house build to pull you into a world of lush, seductive escapism.
This is a world of rich and intoxicating music which I keep coming back to and represents the ethos of FAX; diversity but with a single-minded approach to a central philosophy of good music which despite its limited release policy is accessible to all.
Koolfang - we want MORE!!! The world is too stressful without you!
I don't know why this hasn't got a higher rating. I feel the Virtual Vices series is a little misunderstood - perhaps it's too laid-back and modest to get its recognition amongst the other more high-profile releases on the label.
Namlook's justifiably brilliant collaborations with Move D and Tetsu Inoue grab the headlines leaving his work with Wolfram Spyra to slip under the net.
I defy anyone not lose themselves, if not be moved by Last Dance on Luna; deliberate or not I can hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond and even A Saucerful of Secrets era Pink Floyd, space blues sending you to the stars.
This whole series is so far relatively easy to track down - I suggest you grab yourself a copy of each instalment before everyone else realises what they've missed.
You have been warned! Happy floating!
