Thread: Pete Namlook, R.I.P.

R.I.P Pete Namlook, storied producer and boss of German ambient label FAX – FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music.


many if not most of you don't know who he is, but we can only cite very few artists that are life-changing, and i can say that about Pete and the vast library of music he produced either alone or in collaboration under myriad aliases.

he took Ambient music to a whole new environment by removing it from the landscape it was designed to support, and rendering it the landscape itself as it left the background and became an experience.

innovative and VERY influential... a true master and pioneer of electronic music, and occupier of a LARGE portion of my record shelf.

dankeschön, Herr Kuhlmann!

****ing depressing. :(

His Darker Side Of The Moog stuff with Klaus Schulze... so ****ing good.

dude, i have so much Namlook...

I know who he is. I started with Neubauten as far as German music and then discovered other artists along the way.

R.I.P. :(

He was pretty ****ing prolific. I have a bunch of his stuff (digitally), but I haven't listened to all of it and I stopped downloading more of it because I was afraid I'd never get caught up. What I have listened to was always of exceptional quality, though.
