(fax) on the topic of actual music...

[Trevor Cordes]

Recently I picked up a couple of discs that may appeal to faxheads.

Gaudi + Testa 1105 em:t.  Bought this on the strength of Re:sonate. It's
quite good.  Fairly dark and forboding.  Some good dub grooves and
ambient bits.  Very em:t atmospheric.  Fave track: Deimos with the
ethereal voices and echoic tubular bells.  Never heard anything by Testa
before, so I can't comment there.

Cyper 7 - Nothing Lasts & Security.  Very impressed by these releases on
Subharmonic.  Not much on Subharmonic does it for me, so that's saying
something.  Very drifting, wandering ambient; sometimes with beats. Very
mellow and repetitive, but it all works out really well.  Great working
or reading music.  A definite keeper for me.  Try to find the Nothing
Lasts 2CD as it is mostly a superset of the 1CD Security (which I have
for sale if anyone is interested).  For Laswell lovers & haters, Laswell
does a bass bit for about 30 secs on one song (which I find pretty
funky).  Not sure if he has a further hand in the production/etc.
