A sublime stew from two ambient giants.

  • We Say...

    Galactic tides of white noise usher in an expansive trip from Pete Namlook with the UK’s silver-suited Ambient space cadet, Mixmaster Morris, whose eclectic DJing graced many a comedown party at the time. If Dreamfish now feels anchored in its era, it’s still one of the best surviving examples of a moment when new Ambient lived a utopian dream of a technologically enlightened borderless society, sharing immersive virtual experiences around the world wide web’s global campfire. There’s a minty freshness and optimism about “School of Fish," while the shorter (nine minute) “Fishology” features the synthetically treated voice of Terrence McKenna, Hawaii-based futurologist and author of Food of the Gods, whose shamanistic theories of techno-paganism and extraterrestrial ancestry fit right in with the stew of ideas and New Age psychedelics which fertilized much of the early '90s Ambient scene.

  • They Say...

    Dreamfish is a different form of fantasy by Pete Namlook and Mixmaster Morris -- strange bedfellows, indeed. Namlook takes a lot of risks in his choices of collaborators. Morris adds some deft touches to the sequences and atmospheres to create funky ambient. The rhythms are up, but not quite trip-hop and certainly not techno. The atmospheres surround some sequenced grooves. Listening to this CD is almost like being at a '70s discothèque.
