Original Trax
Fabrik Nos @ Soundcloud (project is dead/dormant)

Collector, producer and DJ of electronic music of many styles, primarily techno, ambient, downtempo, progressive, psytrance, industrial, EBM and synthpop. Creator of the 10-part When Trance Was Good oldschool trance mix series and the ongoing Lessons In EBM and Chillgressions mix series.

If I had to pick my "desert island" sound, it would be early and mid-90s ambient/techno/trance: Art of Trance, As One, Astralasia, Banco de Gaia, Cosmic Baby, Der Dritte Raum, Eat Static, Empirion, The Future Sound of London, Freaky Chakra, Hardfloor, Juno Reactor, Oliver Lieb, The Orb, Orbital, Paul van Dyk, Pentatonik, Salt Tank, Sun Electric, Sven Väth, System 7, Ultramarine, Underworld, Yello, and Union Jack being some of my all-time inspirations. Though if I had to select one artist that has influenced me the most it would have to be Front 242.

Great pressing and the vinyl looks spectacular, but some of the tracks just don't sound very good - Meat Puppets, Danzig and Rob Zombie especially - but this is due to the original source material and not the vinyl. They just didn't have great... See full review

posted a review of Beborn Beton - Darkness Falls Again. about 1 year ago
Musically, I love the new BB album. It's exactly what you would expect from the German synthpop masters - catchy, with a range of emotions from happy to melancholy, tightly produced, and right to the point. It's slightly updated for today's times, but... See full review

posted a review of Entheogenic - Spontaneous Illumination. about 1 year ago
Wow. Just wow. Matthias & Nebulosa is doing a truly phenomenal job with pressing these Entheogenic albums onto wax, and I couldn't be happier with how sophomore album turned out. One of the better sounding LPs I've heard all year, and there is... See full review
Solar Fields - Random Friday
posted a review of Solar Fields - Random Friday. about 1 year ago
Another fantastic Solar Fields pressing on Sidereal. I always thought this was one of the better mastered SF albums originally, so it sounds simply divine on vinyl. So tight and balanced, with plenty of low end oomph but also a soft sheen over... See full review

Returned to this album after playing it on repeat for weeks in 2015. What an incredible album - i wish the Camo boys would follow this up with something soon.

Count On Me - one of the greatest duets in synthpop history, IMO! Not enough of these... See full review

Peace & Love is my favorite InSoc album by a long shot, and I was incredibly excited to hear it on vinyl finally. Sadly, it was a major disappointment for a number of reasons.

posted a review of Entheogenic - Kykeon. about 1 year ago
Another beautiful and high quality release from Entheogenic and Nebulosa Records! Like Animism before it, this Kykeon vinyl comes in a thick, sturdy gatefold with poly-lined inner sleeves, great art printing, and solid, noiseless 180g wax. I'm one of... See full review

Uhh... where did this come from? Did Merv have anything to do with this? As usual for Cleopatra, I see incorrect information (there are no "alternate versions" of any tracks that I can see), and why was Crash & Burn randomly included? While I love... See full review

Last one available is actually €100,00! But he always seems to find more after the fact, so I doubt this is truly the last one. Also, this marbled version is only slightly more limited than the black one, and black vinyl always sounds better anyway,... See full review
Bluetech - Phoenix Rising
posted a review of Bluetech - Phoenix Rising. over 2 years ago
Incredible sounding remaster, as we've come to expect from Bluetech's ongoing vinyl remaster series. The analog equipment used to produce these remasters shines through beautifully and creates an almost-new sounding album. I can't even remember what... See full review
Cut / Copy* - January Tape
posted a review of Cut / Copy* - January Tape. over 2 years ago
Excellent pressing and an excellent musical deviation from the norm for the Cut Cop boys. Dreamy ambient and a little bit of energy thrown in here and there. Seven years ago this was released on cassette only, and of course sold out fast. While I'm... See full review

Super solid reissue of one of hip-hop's all-time classic LPs. While not a gatefold, the jacket is thick and well made, and it contains two nice, glossy record sleeves and a cool comic strip insert. Unfortunately, as is all too often the case with... See full review

While I totally feel you... that is not how the vinyl market works my friend. Vinyl runs these days are usually fairly limited (maybe a few hundred to few thousand depending on the release/artist/label), so that's why it's important to buy them when... See full review

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Stochastic
posted a review of Carbon Based Lifeforms - Stochastic. over 2 years ago
Music: Stochastic is a deep, beatless, sleepy ambient album from the Swedish masters. It's not the most accessible album of theirs and might leave a few fans wanting for those tasty 303 lines and kick drums, but it's still an interesting foray into... See full review
Kliment - Path To Extinction
posted a review of Kliment - Path To Extinction. over 2 years ago
More sinister psy-tech from Kliment, who has taken a total 180 from his earlier days of ambient & downtempo. Path to Extinction features two serious bangers, Oblak and Jung's Junk, the latter of which is possibly my favorite track of Kliment's so far.... See full review
Kliment - Interdependence
posted a review of Kliment - Interdependence. over 2 years ago
Fantastic dark, twisted, psychedelic techno (or is that techy psytrance?) from Kliment. I love this shit. While at its core it's psytrance, it features way more creative programming than most producers in that genre, with endless sounds and textures... See full review

This is a must-have reissue of a classic German metal album. In my opinion it sounds great with really strong dynamics, especially across the lower freqs (those kick drums kick ass) and vocal mids. It comes in a lovely, thick gatefold with embossed... See full review

The Cons: The lenticular cover isn't really a cover at all - just an insert - not attached to the gatefold... See full review
