Was Namlook the one that was, in some sense, "anti" vinyl, or am I thinking of someone else? Maybe you address that in the video. I'll listen later but am just curious if you have some insight into that? I've always assumed it was due to the sonic and storage limitations of vinyl.
Yes you're right. There's a guy in Germany who now has the rights to the Fax stuff and he's slowly releasing them on vinyl. The Klaus Schulz's ones got released on vinyl a few years ago. RIP Pete
Yeah, Pete only released on vinyl because of the expectation from DJs - I included the full quote on-screen in Chapter 5, at 4:45, but in short "vinyl cannot transport what I want to achieve with music [...] definitely no vinyl ever again on FAX." It's why I find the recent Silent State vinyl reissues very slightly distasteful (even though I've bought some of them, haha). It's almost certainly not what he would have wanted - he would have at least done CDs alongside. But eh, it is what it is.
@@absentwithconcept Silent State that's the guy. I'm all for it! The Fires of Ork one is a bit uptempo for me though! I'm sure he'd be ok with it as long as he didn't have to deal with it. I wonder where the proceeds go? I've never owned a CD player so missed a lot of Fax stuff. Well it's streamed now of course, mostly illegally probably. I've got most of the ones you mention in your great rundowns but there's been few that I've gone, got to get that! The Another Fine Day one, for instance. Somehow completely missed that one, never heard of it before! Cheers.
@@newtronix I think it's more the way Silent State has ignored the CDs, which was the format Pete created the music for. Not a huge deal but does seem to be ignoring his wishes. Like I say, I've bought some myself so I can't complain too much!
@@absentwithconcept Yes it's odd isn't it. CD's were once the future and now completely dead. I just don't think he'd sell enough of them to make it worthwhile in the so called 'boutique' market.
This is right up my street! Have a lot of these tracks on the Ambient Cookbook CDs.
Best track for me is Yugoslavia -Pete Namlook
