any good? been eyeing them up recently

Actually I think its the best of his series on Fax...I find it similar to "Was Here"...

Various - Quarknosis

Already had it on 2xLP, but it's always nice to have a digital backup handy :) Pure trancy downtempo ambient bliss.

Quarknosis is an awesome compilation. I also have it on vinyl. Top stuff!
That's what I am talking about!

Quarknosis is a a neat gem indeed. Shame it doesn't have artwork to match.

I have just received Radioland by Stephan Mathieu. Yet to listen to it but the packaging/artefact itself is amazing.

By the way, for those interested, Kinetix Recordings is still selling new old stock Quarknosis CD's from their website and often a little cheaper on ebay.co.uk http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QUARKNOSIS-OPTIC-EYE-ALIEN-MUTATION-CD-RARE-MINT_W0QQitemZ280228515474 that's where I got mine from.

i just found a copy of

popol vuh: in den garten pharaos (lp) for 11e

it is in the mail when my bank transfer clears

^^ one of those albums that is a powerful spiritual experience.

The score to Nosferatu by Popul Vuh is classic. That is also a really great album.

Keeping it 90's style:

David Morley - Tilted 2 x lp for $3 at a record sale.
Brain Pilot - Brain Pilot 2 x lp cheap on gemm.
Stasis - Inspiration 2 x lp, same as above!

Also the new Kwook (Skywave) on Blue Oasis is really good.

Been falling asleep a lot with Folz + Lynn's "Still Life" discs (still-life.org), #2 is especially good.

Spyra - High Phidelity, excellent release

A New Consciousness - A New Consciousness

Parks - Umber

Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol.1

Recently got Colourform - Visions Of Surya - good stuff

This is nice: Claude Marbehant - Atmosphères - Prétextes Musicaux Pour Aventures Gestuelles

New Kwook wantlisted, thanks for telling me this was available

this week got Theodore and Hamblin: The Scientific Contrast http://www.discogs.sie.com/release/1127648
clever bit of IDM mellowing into some gentle ambience

and Jacaszek : Treny http://www.discogs.sie.com/release/1288927
another beautiful release on Miasmah.

I bought that Scuba cd last week and can't stop playing it. VERY nice album.

http://www.discogs.sie.com/release/1304147

Nice one GENRE, I wasn't aware Miasmah was putting out physical releases now. Will check it!

The Orb - The Dream

jahwhitey
The Orb - The Dream

Still in doubt whether I should get this. I was quite positive about it at first, but then again, I already have 2 Dreadzone albums I hardly ever listen to...

Scuba - A Mutual Antipathy

^^nice one!

don't for get new Gel-Sol - IZ

Got a $75 gift cert to Amazon and was able to strech it to cover nine CD's, including Tear Ceremony - Eternal Brainwave and the aforementioned Brain Pilot - Mind Fuel CD as recommended by TIM.

Also got V/A - Quarknosis 2xlp for 1 euro on ebay, I think that's another one I heard about from TIM.

Tetsu Inoue - Psycho-Acoustic

Duplicate post

Also got V/A - Quarknosis 2xlp for 1 euro on ebay, I think that's another one I heard about from TIM.

Yeah, they seem to go for dirt cheap these days. €1 still is one hell of a deal! You won't be disappointed. Nice pressing quality too (at least mine are).

Just received Synaesthetic brand new and sealed. :D

Inade - Aldebaran
Inade - The Crackling Of The Anonymous

Both are beyond stunning to me..

Just received the new Ochre disc on Benbecula. Oddly it was pending in the db last week but now it's gone. Someone else can sub it though, having looked at the Benbecula page as it is now (which looks like some rankhunting retard with a broken keyboard has subbed loads of (obviously extremely vital) edits) making the page almost unreadable.

Got a $75 gift cert to Amazon and was able to strech it to cover nine CD's, including Tear Ceremony - Emulsion, Badawi - The Heretic Of Ether, Zen Paradox - Eternal Brainwave and the aforementioned Brain Pilot - Mind Fuel CD as recommended by TIM.

Also got V/A - Quarknosis 2xlp for 1 euro on ebay, I think that's another one I heard about from TIM.

that's one of the only Zen Paradox's i don't have. get http://www.discogs.sie.com/release/176635 it's the bomb. this is serious psy trance(cough!). seriously though.

the others you got are sweet!

Almost forgot to mention I recently purchased Selected Ambient Works 85-92, one of the "essential" releases that was still missing from my collection. Got it from a local independent record store. The price was better online, but it felt good buying something in a good store again :)

Solar Quest's 'Orgship', 9/10 (those first tunes... mh ...)
AMP's S/T (Kranky 17) (8/10) (a little droney)
Aerial M's 'M' (7/10) (understated post-rock)

Monolake - Hongkong Remastered
Global Communication - 76:14 (better late than never)
I Am Robot And Proud - The Electricity In Your House Wants To Sing - bought it despite the fucking twee artist name and title. It's alright.
Various - Defected Presents Charles Webster EP2 - not really ambient or experimental but there are some really nice tracks on this

^^ didnt realise they were remastering hongkong, good it's available again, one of my favourite albums, that.

little_alien
one of the "essential" releases that was still missing from my collection.

have you heard it before? if not i eagerly await the verdict. like you said, one of those esential albums.

Kuba - Through A Lense
Latin Soul Fusion Vol.02

Barry_Crumbcheeks
have you heard it before? if not i eagerly await the verdict. like you said, one of those esential albums.

I had heard it before as crappy 128 kbs mp3s on laptop speakers... I haven't given it a good listen yet, but I really liked what I heard. I'm not a Aphex fan in general, this is my first Aphex album.

binaryme
Global Communication - 76:14 (better late than never)

Agreed ;) Though I wasn't really enthusiastic about it when I bought it last year without having heard it before. I was going by the remix they did of The Grid - Rollercoaster, still the best stuff they have ever done IMO. 76:14 has had its time to settle in and I quite like it now. The bonus CD still is pretty dull though...

swedish
Inade - The Crackling Of The Anonymous

This is really really mindblowing stuff, dark and menacing like hell!

Good catch!

The Gas boxset obviously, so glad I was beaten in a couple of ebay battles for some of those albums a couple of years ago.

And FUCK ON! The price of the Solaris soundtrack by Cliff Martinez seems to have finally reached normal levels, someone stuck it on amazon pre-owned for £7.

Stumbled upon this on a Dutch marketplace site for €7: Warp10+1 Influences also for €7 :)

My most recent FAX order:
- The Lost Tales Vol II

Popul Vuh rules!

La_Monte_Old
I'm very curious about that U V O I I because I've seen it mentioned as being very good in the fax topic too. Will check it for sure!

I was just curious about it because of the mediocre reviews it was getting and how it's considered un-fax-like because of the "vocals". I think it fits right into the Sad World series. More Sad World I and II though and to a lesser extent 3. UVOII does have a track with beats in it though. It's a mixed bag, but it's very Atmo and I like it quite a lot. UVOII can still be ordered brand new at Peter directly for €15 (where I got it from) and I'm sure there are a lot of other sources through which it is still available, as it seems to be one of the lesser popular Fax releases for some reason...

Ambient 3 (Day Of Radiance)

i always wondered what ambient 3 was... now i know!

It has been in my wantlist for aaaages... I really must get around to buying it.

This past month has been amazing for getting hold of once-horrifically expensive albums at new affordable prices.

Gas - Nah and Fern (used to be what, £100+ for those on eBay)
Gas - Gas 0095 (£50+ on ebay?)
Monolake - Hongkong (£40+)
Cliff Martinez - Solaris (£30+)

And now I hear Pole is releasing the first three Pole albums in a boxset much like Gas? Brilliant.

Those two are recent reissues and are available new. Not sure about the other two. In general though, I agree.

I think economic issues are affecting the music market. I know my purchasing has been severely curbed.

Random are you confused? Dusty's saying that these albums used to go for big bucks but he's recently purchased them on the cheap.

haha yes, that was kind of my point - I'm chuffed with all the reprints at the moment :D

Speaking of which, last month also saw Derrick May - Innovator rereleased by R&S.

R and S - damn the Discogs forum formatting

the bug - london zoo
earth - 2 special low frequency version
Neu! - neu! (i KNow i know, ju8st one of those i've never got around to actually purchasing til now, despite the fact i've had 75 for many years.)
Terry Riley - The last Camel in Paris

DAT Hell - A Collection Of Mental Breakdowns Behind The Yellow Door
Love the artwork and the extensive liner notes!

moshka-medicine,

You are lucky. I've been looking for this, along with many of the Popol Vuh original LPs. Which record label is it on ? Popol Vuh have SUCH a confusing discography.

And things I've recently added to my collection, in of post-ambience and sound art :

Set Or Performance

At some stage soon I'll be getting the Extended Play [Triptych For The Child Survivors Of War And Conflict] on Line.

I have problems with Kontakt's "-1". There are some annoying sounds on it, like the heavy breathing and watery clunking at the beginning. I think the sounds used on Untitled are far superior in of their craft, compositional placement, and aural characteristics. Anyone have any thoughts on Kontakt Der Jünglinge ?

I find that many of the aforementioned releases have similar qualities, mostly organic-sounding, and both balance abrasive and subtle sounds in a very pleasing way. Although they all must be played either in the morning, early evening, on a rainy or overcast day, and never mid-day or when the sun is omnipresent.

Discourses Of The Withered

Marvin Ayres - Neptune

An overlooked artist on discogs it seems, his two more recent albums have yet to be added.

Wolfgang Voigt - Gas

Sorry to say the photography doesn't really stand up as an object in its own right. Stick to music Wolfgang.

Dusty, I agree with that. The photography is not quality at all. I enjoyed the photography for the album "Pop", but that's it. Shame that artwork was dropped with the reissue.

i haven't checked thouroughly, but it did look supiciusly like someone playing with the hue and saturation on photoshop

ALIO DIE - for Entheogenic Experience
CASCONE, KIM - Gravity Handler
HENRIKSSON, Ö. - As the side-scene of reality melted, we slowly realized that the surrounding chaos of molecules and atoms no longer made sense to us
LUSTMORD - Place where the Black Stars hang
NORDVARGR BJÖRK, HENRIK - The dead never sleeps
TROUM - Ryna
TROUM - Objectlessness

Interesting...

whats this one like?

Trance, which is not bad, but heavily limited by the equipment at the time, which also makes it kind of cute. Light Side Of The Sun, like Trance is slower than their other (goa)trance releases, though usually with a slow beat or percussion of some sort and with synths you'd expect in (goa) trance. They pull it off really well without sounding cheesy, no fillers on this album! The opening track Sunburst is a big trance stomper though, but in a good way. this album is from 1994 when trance was still good. Oh and the music is better than the artwork would suspect ;)

I just nabbed:
Model 500-Starlight cd ep w/ mixes by a bunch of Deepchord/Echospace dudes.
Tim Hecker-Mirages...my first venture into Hecker.
Automaton-Jihad...Laswell, Inoue, Skopelitis & Musso...used for just a few bucks.
Popol Vuh-Letzte Tage-Letze Nachte...one day I'll have all Florian's albums. All those SPV reissues drive me nuts though with the same exact booklet in every different album. I have about 30 copies of the same Klaus Schulze booklet in every one of his albums. Can't they make one that is specific to that album?

Nice, love the Strata packaging. Always a nice find. I have Decoder

the new Machinefabriek is everything boomkat hyped it up to be and does not disappoint, most definetly the pick of his recent releases. has a lightness and subtlety missing on other work.

i've bought two classics that i missed:

the irresistible force - its tomorrow already
yagya - rhythm of show lp

before those two ive also bought IZ by gel sol.

looking forward ringing by yagya too

tim hecker's Mirages is the only one i have of his, real nice.
