The first real jewel in the Fax catalogue.

  • We Say...

    The first real jewel in the Fax catalogue was Pete Namlook’s co-production with Dr. Atmo, aka Tehran-born Frankfurt resident Amir Abadi. “Omid/Hope” launches the trip with the portentousness of a Wagner overture, but on the central pair of long cuts, Silence evokes the suffocating stillness of Middle Eastern temple courtyard, with the passage of time only marked by the slow movement of shadows across a tiled floor. Subtle zarb percussion embellishes the glinting, finger-on-glass vocal line in “Garden of Dreams," while “Santur” features the indigenous zither of the title as well as a ghosting of Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn-style vocal sample. If the final “Trip” veers a little too far into a generic ambience that locks it in time, it just manages to keep a full-on analogue bubblebath at bay.
