FAX has a whole world of this material out there...Atom's Orange, Tetsu's
Organic Cloud, Slow and Low, Ambiant Otaku, Sad World, Alien Community,
Personally I love Namlook's "Season's Greetings-Winter", etc.,
etc. Manna's s/t lp on R&S/Apollo/AMB is excellent and fits right in.
David Kristian's Synaesthesia on Discreet is nice with a dark streak. Some
of the old Recycle or Die label stuff (I think there were 8 or 9 releases
originally) is certainly along those lines. The Chill Out or Die series
grabs old Rising High/FAX things and compiles them nicely for samplers.
Elfish Echo (on KMS20) is good.
Of course, there's Global Comm's Pentamerous Metamorphosis. Sun Electric's
Live one "30-7-94" is classic. Lots of the Locust back catalog has good
ambience interspersed with some crunch (e.g, Truth is Born of Arguments -
*real* crunch on that one!). For hometown influence, try Rod Modell's
"Autonomous Music" (btw, is it true he is now part of DeepChord ?). For
something newer try both of the Pub releases...Summer and Do You Regret
Pantomime? A LOT of the David Morley catalog is nice. I've really been
getting into Mark Pilkington's Thought Unviverse project (aka Martian Tin
Can, Venusian Jazz, etc) CD3. CD4 is due out soon - very mid 90s IDM in a
GOOD way. I'd also recommend the Foreign Terrain/Black Faction stuff
(Solielmoon has one release each in print - both = Andy Diey) for a ride in
that vein with a hint of mid-eastern motif. The last Black Faction seems to
have a Dante theme through the 1st 5 tracks or so - quite dark. I'm sure
that after I hit "send" I'll think of 500 more things I should have
mentioned, but this should get you started. Some of it will be a tough
find, too.
If you're into mp3s you might want to consider subscribing to emusic. They
have a lot of rather Interesting/FAX/FAX sublabel rarities available for
downloads at reasonable rates (only 128 kbps though).

Hello,
I have been getting into ambient techno and early 90's UK IDM lately. I am
looking for more obscure material from that period and I was wondering
what recommendations you guys would have. As far as that sound goes, here
is what I have been listening to lately:
Global Communication: 76:14
Aphex: SAW I & II
Biosphere: Microgravity
ART records: ART 1&2 comps
Atom Heart: Dots
I am looking for more material like this, any recommendations would be
very appreciated.
Thanks,
mt
