about

The next installment in the series is "Silence III" (1998), which carries a Persian influence. Track titles such as "Mirage," "Into The Desert," and "A Ship On A Sea Of Sand" perfectly capture the essence of the music. Namlook's remarkable ability to convey a sense of place and his profound understanding of the visual aspects of ambient sound are evident throughout the album. His creative spectrum within the entire series is truly remarkable, ranging from grand, organic-sounding orchestral synthesizer progressions to purely textural, atonal atmospheric compositions. Namlook's meticulous attention to sound design ensures a flawless experience, making his music particularly rewarding when enjoyed on high-quality audio equipment. Following "Silence III," two more exceptional albums in the series continue to captivate listeners.

"Silence III" ist eine Erinnerung - und Update zugleich - an das, was ich zu Beginn von FAX gemacht habe. Wenn Du Dir die 5 Jahre alte "Silence I" anhörst, wirst Du feststellen, dass da verschiedene Stile in einer eigenartigen Melange zusammenfließen, die auch bei der neuen "Silence III" unüberhörbar durchschimmert: Electronic Fusion Music!

Silence Frankfurt, Germany

Silence from 1992 is Pete Namlook‘s first album release on his own Fax label and the first one of the outstanding Silence series. His creative range across the five albums is impressive: from stately progressions of warm, organic synthscapes to purely atmospheric pieces of pure texture. A timeless release series that proves that less really is more. ... more

The paradigm of long-form ambient was formed through the works of Namlook and Inoue. Explorative music takes listeners on memorable voyages through unfamiliar worlds. This music instills a range of scenes--from isolated, cold, abstract spaces to the warm glow of a beautiful expanse unfolding before you (ex. the final song "Xxxx"). A masterpiece by two pioneers in electronic music made way back in 1995. Falling_always
