Still not really sunk in that Pete has gone, many great musicians have departed earth in my time here :( . This is the departure that has affected me most :cry:

I really hope that FAX can continue as a fitting tribute to Pete Namlook's superb musical legacy.

I hope to get the newest FAX album, Autumn of Communion, when the orders get sorted out hopefully.

It is also great that there is a vast FAX catalogue on itunes. Still have a few to get and whilst I thought the price for downloads a bit steep, I am not giving a monkeys about that now. It will be funds towards Pete's family I hope, and may assist them in keeping the FAX label going.

I too wonder what will happen to the FAX label. We'll see when the time is right. Hope it will continue as an honour to Pete Namlook.

Sadly I think the death of Pete will mean the death of FAX certainly in the way it was before. Pete was very much hands on there even as far as packaging the orders. I remember one funny email once where he told me he had driven down the road chasing the postman for the batch of packages he had just given as he had put the wrong CDs in my package.

I am sure he had a bit of help in certain areas but it always seemed very much like he did most of the manual work as well as the creative work.

That is superb.

How much would you pay for one of them on your wall ?

FAX album covers are ace.

Aye, its excellent. In fact I think it was yourself that mentioned it on here............... which prompted an urgent purchase.

It would be good to read a few words from Klaus Schulze on this tragic loss. After all they made 11 albums together (Namlook's longest collaboration with any artist maybe...?).
I see the KS web site was updated November 22, but no mention of Pete Namlook.
