- Would it be possible to catalogue some of these releases into series? Or is there a reason why that would be inappropriate? For example; 4Voice, Escape, Subsequence, Limelight and others seem to be series with multiple releases.
- FAX is mental. Cavernous depths and swaths of brilliance. Does anyone out there have the full collection or anything close to it?
- Amazing label. If you are an electronic music fan with an open mind, then I recommend you check it out.
- PW 54 was planned to be "Sultan-Murad" (Namlook/Burhan Öcal).
See: https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/596915#5805330 - hey - super interested to know more about Fax, any 'best of' lists or primers to get me started? from what I have heard I like Sad World but there is such a volume that it's quite daunting atm. thanks!
- with several hundred releases to its name, fax was an incomparable electronic label in its time. branching into many different directions, from trance to drone to ethno-ambient, idm and berlin-school electronica, and with countless namlook improvised solo releases, there was something for everyone, but unlikely everything for someone! still regardless of which side of the label works for you, there are hours and hours of incredible music to discover here.
namlooks tragic death at such an early age put the label to bed, but his legacy continues. the incredible work of namlook and fax inspired many people to continue his fine work: carpe sonum picked up several planned releases that never came out, and continued with the visual style of fax. other labels like ...txt and anodize continued to work with the same expanding group of artists. all worth a listen. - Edited 8 years agoI've always smelled FAX's apparent "Limited edition" on their releases as possibly false. Copies appear for sale much more often than usual then what their print run should reflect for most Fax releases. I actually asked a seller whom I bought a fax CD a few years back if the CDs were truly Limited Edition. The seller, who knew their apples about FAX told me that Pete had a seller's account here (Which I confirmed.) and was selling leftover stock from FAX.
No doubt that most of the FAX CDs are scarce and generally hard to find. Though, I find strange that a Fax CD which apparently only had a print run of 500, has sold 9 copies in the past 3 years and currently, 5 copies are available for sale. (In this case, I'm using Houdini - Houndini as a comparison.) I'm aware that some CDs like Hearts Of Space and the I.F. CDs which apparently have the same print run, sell for considerably more money than Houdini. Then again, those CDs are much more sought than Houdini. Yet, the copy ratio of each CD is vaguely similar when you check how many copies each CD has sold in the last years.
