In the first recording I was in Cherokee park (an Olmsted park) and it wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. In that one I was parked on a hill and a bicycle zooms past. In the 2nd recording I was in an open area with isolated big trees and it was incredibly loud. My truck was on the side of the road with the microphone set on the toolbox. At some point a car drives past. It gives you a good idea of how loud it was. In a wave editor the pattern looks just like a pop song: http://www.psychicreform.com/Music/index.htm ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

Pete Namlook recommendations?
by -<(::jason::)>- 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

So I am looking to expand my ambient horizons, and haven't really checked out too much Namlook / Fax stuff. But I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of releases! 84 albums!! Let me start by saying I'm not a huge fan of completely beatless drone music. But I know not all Namlook is like that, and I don't know where to start. I'd like some stuff with beats or textures of some sort (not just 80 minutes of spacey tones). I liked some of the S.H.A.D.O. Stuff, and some of the Fires Of Ork album, but that's about all I know. Any recommendations?? Thanks! :-) _jason_

All Quiet In Komplott and In Battersea too!
by David Doree 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

It's gone Oh So quiet over the past couple of months on this list, I thought what with the last two releases,It would be rockin'. So I thought I'd submitt this,I actually turned up on the night of The Seed records do to find out that It was cancelled! We came across some girl who seemed out of it outside the venue.......there was four of us huddled round these posters reading this very small paragraph trying to take it in,with her behind us saying "I bet it was cancelled cause of Coil ,they must be fuckin about?" She seemed to be a coil fan....I thought nothing of It till I read about a member dying or something.....quirky? "Komplott"-"Falkenbruck"-Does anyone know what the sample In this tune Is? It's very Pink Floyd esque? I was checkin e-bay and someone had the e.p.up as a "singin In the rain Clockwork orange" disc????? "Battersea shield"-"1855 B.C".-What a seriously good 18 minute journey by far- up there with the early stuff as far as I'm concerned ===== Nicht die welt! ___________________________________________________________ Moving house?

Re: off topic hard disk failure hmm you said it was a mac drive. If you have a friend who is a linux hacker you may be able to remove the drive from its case and plug it into the ide chain on a linux box and try to mount it. It should be some kind of mac format i dunno what they use I think its HFS. Anyways their are tools to mount it if it works at all. You might even try a linux live cd but you need one that would support your mac and HFS, their is probably some derivative of knoppix that will work. Also I wanted to say thanks to whoever made that 2 cd set awhile back for the list maybe it was 3-4 years ago. I think it's the 2001 space orbesy cd anywas thanks i just listened to it reacently and it was nice. -discord
