	submitted Deadly Avenger - Ghost X Ghost (PROMO ONLY). about 1 year ago
	posted a review of Verbose. over 3 years ago There is just something special about his music. It is unique, deep, melodic and brings you places. Thought provoking. IDM, ambient, shoegaze, glitch, guitar mix. He is the master of his own creation.
	posted a comment on Various - Night Of The Living Dead (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). over 3 years ago I have what appears to be a cdr bootleg copy of this album. It is definitely not official as the catalogue number on the cd itself indicates SVT-81152 and the back insert indicates STV-81151. The printing is a bit fuzzy and not 100% in focus. There...

	posted a review of Vector Lovers - Vector Lovers. over 4 years ago This is a highly underrated disc. Its not just about the glitchy beats and the electro vibes but its the melodies that really stand out. Very emotional feeling yet funky and danceable. Soft at times, abstract others, but always captivating. Its the... See full review
	posted a review of Don Gere - Werewolves On Wheels (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). over 4 years ago The movie is truly terrible and I love 1970's horror movies...but the soundtrack is top notch. Biker samples with tramped out, drugged out 70's werewolf guitar freak out sessions, complete with blood and deceit. The music is all low budget 1970's... See full review
	posted a comment on The Dark Side Of The Moog - The Dark Side Of The Moog IX. over 4 years ago I listened to this again, February 7th 2021. As people have said. This is the best of the series. Neither artist out does one another and the cd flows beautifully. Nothing lasts too long and there is brilliance all around. This is a keeper.
	posted a review of Slowdive - 5 EP. over 4 years ago This is truly an amazing release. This is listed as "ambient, shoegaze, dream pop" and it is all of that. More electronic than previous releases and truly a masterpiece that will always sound forever fresh. Slowdive is some of the most brilliant... See full review
	posted a review of Ultra-Sonic - Hardcore Will Never Die 94-97. over 4 years ago This album is way ahead of its time. Blissful sporadic happy hardcore vocals, fresh upbeat melodies full of ecstasy, old skool hardcore beats, all just seem to create the perfect album. I am so happy to be apart of the Kickstarter album.
	posted a review of The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms. over 5 years ago This is truly one of the best FSOL disc's to date. The music took a few listens to appreciate it back in the day. Even today, this disc was way ahead of its time. The mixing is so masterful. I picked this up after seeing them live in NYC back in... See full review
	posted a comment on Out Of The Ordinary - Immer Wenn Er Pillen Nahm. over 5 years ago Old skool German techno with those oh so familiar sounding samples. This is period sounding techno however it is superb and still makes me wanna groove the night away. Pretty consistently beat oriented with frequent changes throughout the title track....

	posted a review of Delta 12 - Volatile/FeelSafe. over 5 years ago This is a really good underrated techno album. Vintage sound yet fresh enough to still be kickin. Different, unique breakbeat that is different than the Hangman Records sounds. Old Skool techno mixed with some psychedelic acid samples and brief... See full review
	posted a review of Kinski - SpaceLaunch For Frenchie. over 6 years ago Losing Touch With My Mind makes this cd so worth it. All of the tracks are top notch. But. Who cant resist an almost perfect "remake" of a Spaceman 3 track. Kinski are really underrated psychedelic indie rock music. Flying under the radar but as... See full review
	posted a comment on Slowdive - Slowdive. over 6 years ago I don't know....but it was all worth it. So much music was found in those years.....so many.
	posted a review of Various - UO@604 (Unknown Object At: Six Zero Four). over 6 years ago From what I remember. This cd was a compilation put together through the 604 list group. Yes, most of these tracks are not the most amazing tracks however none are below average. Nice melodic goa trance with some really solid driven beats. Nicely... See full review
	posted a comment on Transonic - Downstream Illusion. over 6 years ago I really agree with the above review. This really is a great ambient dub jam out fun yet serious cd from Robert Musso. This is my favorite release from him. Its not new and earth shattering music but it truly keeps me in tuned and well balanced.
	posted a review of Kinski - Be Gentle With The Warm Turtle. over 6 years ago This is a beautifully crafted psychedelic indie rock album. It brings you places. From the drifting zoned out guitar ambience to full on blissed out jamming indie rock. Sometimes without warning it catches you by surprise. Nothing stays too long as... See full review
	posted a review of Pete Namlook / Hubertus Held - Pete Namlook / Hubertus Held. over 6 years ago Track six makes this whole cd worth it for me. Dated sounding techno house but above average for what was out in those days. Innovative at times yet not with earth shattering new sounds. Some are familiar Namlook ambient interlude type segments. A mix... See full review
	posted a review of Landing - Fade In / Fade Out EP. over 6 years ago Its a cross of psychedelic ambient with a focus on experimental indie rock. Really drawn out and blissful guitar which always puts me in a trance. Each track really could just go on forever, meandering around, floating yet never without purpose.... See full review
	posted a comment on Fax +49-69/450464. over 7 years ago As you probably have already read. There really are so many great albums off of Fax. There are also some very lack luster releases that just seemed to really disappoint. Music To Films. Orange. Season Greetings. 2350 Broadway series. Psychonativation... See full review
	posted a comment on Polytime - Polytime. over 7 years ago I am listening to this as we speak. It really is a nice listen, when its quiet and you can just close your eyes and let this album just take you places. Not the best of Fax Records, but certainly underrated from the label as a whole. It does possess... See full review
	posted a review of John Carpenter And Alan Howarth - Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (Complete Original Motion Picture Score). over 7 years ago This is not just the best Halloween soundtrack of the series, it is also a classic 80's style ambient album. There are so many amazing progressive moments throughout. From dark cinematic ambience progressing and climaxing into vintage epic synth... See full review
	posted a review of Jochem Paap - Vrs-Mbnt-Pcs 9598 II. over 7 years ago The deep yet uplifting melodic beatless ambience builds slowly into a dark enlightened world, driftly wandering around, drowning in hypnotic minimalism. Captivating and commanding. Isolating. Repetitive yet not montonous. One of the better Fax releases.
	posted a review of Drum Machine Circle - DADA. over 7 years ago A very underrated Fax Records release and often forgotten. An album with beautiful captivating ambience and somewhat disjointed yet melodic IDM beats in that CUE sorta way. The track "Roswell" tracking in at 38 minutes long, never seems to linger to...

	posted a comment on Nik Turner - Space Ritual 1994 Live. over 7 years ago Me too. Saw them live at the Limelight in NYC. July 1995 I think. Sprial Realms opened up for them and were amazing too. 16 Deluxe started the show that evening. One of the most memorable shows I've ever witnessed.
	posted a review of Muslimgauze - Mazar-I-Sharif. over 8 years ago The previous review for this is somewhat misleading. Yes there is some harshness with experimental distortionisms all over the place yet there is some really strong hypnotic tribal trance beats which remain long and consistent. At times these beats...

	posted a review of Muslimgauze - Observe With Sadiq Bey. over 8 years ago This is EXACTLY what Muslimgauze sounds like and what I envision the project to be. This release really shows how Bryn Jones was so unique and one of a kind with his sound. No filler tracks. Upbeat trance with repetitive tribal beats that never tire.... See full review

	posted a review of Muslimgauze - Ayatollah Dollar. over 8 years ago This album certainly is an experimental Middle Eastern Bryn Jones glitchy funked up tribal trance beats kind of dub thing. It is beautiful packaging with or without the coin. One of the better Muslimgauze disc's out there.
	posted a review of Muslimgauze - Blue Mosque. over 8 years ago This album truly is remarkable and defining. It is Bryn Jones during the height of his music. The music is more focused, less glitchy and significantly more laid back. Ambient and a tribal hypnotic middle eastern trance journey, minimal, yet powerful.... See full review
	posted a review of Slowdive - Slowdive. over 8 years ago Slowdive - Slowdive I found these guys back in college. Stole some of their cd's from the record station back in the day. Regardless, This release has some of the most beautiful tracks to date. It really can be a deep experience when played in the... See full review

	posted a review of Muslimgauze - Mullah Said. over 8 years ago It is the perfect intoxication of urban middle eastern tribal trance mixed with powerful echoed and manipulated vocal samples. The drumming keeps building and building into an intense conflict of political oppression. This is Bryn Jones at his best... See full review
	posted a review of Mind.In.A.Box - Memories. over 8 years ago This has been rated as their best album to date by others. First listen, so far it sounds great and greater than before. Growing, progressing to something more epic. The journey is more emotional, the melody seeking, out stretching into fast paced and... See full review
	posted a review of The Shape (4) - Waveshape Fiction. over 8 years ago Feels as though this is straight out of the mid 1990's ambient techno movement and that is not a bad thing. It is not dated sounding, just vintage, yet never leaving us in the past. At times with Lengthy ambient intros followed with laid back yet... See full review
	posted a review of The Urges - Time Will Pass. over 8 years ago This is a very solid psychedelic meets Manchester scene album. There are no filler tracks here and the vintage groove vibe never seems to tire. The music is more refined and smoother sounding from the previous album "Psych Ward", though both are...

	posted a review of Surface Of Eceyon - Tussyan Ruins. over 9 years ago Amazing release where you get totally enmeshed within the blissful psychedelic guitars swirling in your head. This is certainly one of the best artists out there for psychedelic ambient indie rock.
	posted a comment on Muslimgauze - In Search Of The Abraham Mosque. over 9 years ago Unusually fast and Upbeat techno creation in that Bryn Jones experimental drum AND bass sorta way. Really a highlight from his catalogue.
	posted a review of Glitch - Inertia. over 9 years ago Dated, absolutely! But when you listen to this and realize that it is off of the Fax label, by two artists you are not familiar with, you will be somewhat amazed. It is so not typical of Fax and its early days of trance/hard trance/acid. I still... See full review
	posted a review of Olexa - Sublime Consciousness. over 9 years ago Ambient created in darkness with some downtempo broken beats, drowning melodies and drugged out samples. At times outwardly and then juxtaposing out of nowhere for good measure. Creepy vocal samples only enhance the psychedelic psychoticness and... See full review
	posted a comment on Kooler (2) - Kooler. over 9 years ago This review is spot on in regards to track one. It really strays from the typical ambient music Fax Records is so famous for and finds itself in a more experimental zone (without being disjointed).
	posted a review of Lars Leonhard - 1549. over 9 years ago This album was my introduction to Lars Leonhard. There are some strong and beautiful tracks presented here. The up tempo ambience highlighted with hallucinogenic chill and dub beats. Very laid back, captivating and epic. One of my current favorites... See full review
	posted a review of Mick Chillage - (M)odes. over 9 years ago The ultimate art in outworldly day dream chill out ambience. Perfect balance of distant reverberating beatless trance meshed among the beautiful, darkened, majestic yet melodic ambient. Seemless. Brilliant.
	posted a review of Vigilante (4) - Turning Point. over 9 years ago The music has become the most refined Vigilante album to date. Heavy hard hitting industrial anthemed electronics tinged with high octane metal. Each track features a powerful yet authentic vocal section, not over processed like so many industrial...

	posted a review of Mick Chillage - Night Works. over 9 years ago Mick Chillage - Night Works Mich Chillage has transformed his ambience into a true masterpiece that progresses from distant outworldy spaces to slow intense resounding moments. Deep, complex, textured layers build with a constant moving direction.... See full review
	posted a review of Klinik - Akhet. over 10 years ago Klinik - Akhet - second disc entitled Orion. Beatless, deep drifting spacey ambient. Picture the Voyager spacecraft floating and drifting aimlessly by massive planets, slowly approaching, investigating from afar, through the darkened spacescape, but... See full review

	posted a review of Kim Cascone - Dust Theories. over 15 years ago The first two tracks, entitled "Dust Theories 1" and "Dust Theories 2", offer some bizarre experimental aqua-sonic sounds. These sounds are slowly enmeshed into a world of quirkiness and short incomplete samples. At times there is a feeling that your... See full review
