Now I have bought a lot of FAX in the past couple of years, and believe me I do mean A LOT :?

However, I just wish to say that Namlook/Montana- Labyrinth , is possibly the greatest FAX album in the history of FAX albums that I have heard :wink:

Absolute class, I must buy Labyrinth2 immediately

A so so 2011 for FAX...not may outstanding albums although the 3 I would pick out are:


1) Namlook · Montanà - Labyrinth 4

2) Anthony Rother - The Machine Room

3) Gate Zero - Tides


I am listening to "Namlook · Material Object - Elektronik" at the moment....sounding good also.

Labyrinth 2 and 3 are superb not heard 4 yet but will probably get same.

Have to say I am not that pleased that the recent FAX downloads all seem to be £10.99 on itunes. Hope this is not going to be the case with all, as it will definitely restrain me purchasing same. In my view that is way too much for a download, 7.99 is more than enough I feel.

I agree, but I remember Pete saying they would be this price from now...seems a bit steep especially when one CD albums are usually 15 euros..,,,with the weak price of the euro you can buy a one CD album from him for almost the price of an itunes download.

Most albums on itunes seem to be still 7-99 unless they are double albums or special editions, so this is purely down to Pete wanting to increase his revenue

I really feel Pete is shooting himself in the foot with this.........he may find his revenue decreases :?

£10.99 is way too much imho. Will have to weigh up any future purchases very carefully.

Hope he changes his mind on this.

Send him an email, the great thing about Pete is you can connect with him personally.....but back to the music you must buy Labyrinth 4...by far the best of the series INMHO. got a fair bit of Namlook on guitar and has more emotion then the previous albums. love it!

FAX celebrating 20 years this year. congrats to Pete, that is some achievement when you consider he runs the label and continues to create music himself....he even packs and arraanges delivery of the CDs himself.
