FAX Sublabel (PS)

Israfil (known as the angel of the trumpet in Islam and as the archangel Raphael to the Western World), is an album of bipolar music, dark, yet colourful, oscillating between joy of living and deep melancholy.
Shek`s 3rd Album on Fax lives from the thoughts and conscious differences between earth and space. The music springs forth lovely and deep, while radiating the vibe of the hot summer as well as the cold winter, and can really get a crowd moving.
The flow of harmonic and melodic structure is felt first, then heard, whether in our living room of your favourite night club.

During his studies in Berlin in summer 1990 Gabriel heard about a street demo called loveparade and joined this crazy gathering dancing in the streets...
Years later he met Dr. Motte, originator, multiversal artist and inventor of the loveparade, and they took the decision to meet in studio for jams which took place in Frankfurt at Gab's Lab, where they celebrated a creative clash that is manifested in the album's seven tracks.
The result is a trip on the dancefloor with deep, floating grooves and predominantly 4-2-4 beats on the first four tracks, while the last three tracks become an after hours party filled with deep, energetic, beatless grooves with a dubby atmosphere.
At the beginning, Dr.Motte introduced Gabriel to another special method of producing music, using a tonal scale that is based on the frequencies of the rotating planets from our solar system, because the rotation of the planets differ from each other along with gravitational principles. For each track, they tuned their musical equipment to the corresponding planetary frequency of one of the planets in our solar system. The earth's tuning, for example, is the 435.92 Hz 'G' tone.

The drum machine circle sit around a fire on a beach at dawn with their Rolands synched, with all the information in the universe glowing in the flames. When they press the 'start' button and dense, chunky hip-hop beats kick in over lush enviro-electro.
This project is the result of a desire by C.U.E. and Jason Rivera to inject more information into electronic music and to create a techno tale about aliens and interdimensional travel. It was recorded on the 50th anniversary of the historic UFO crash landing in New Mexico. The central track 'Roswell' incorporates recordings of the testimony of witnesses who were at the site. The music is also created to act as a soundtrack to the 'close encounters of the third kind' movie, as it deals with the same themes of

1. the realisation of the existence of life on other planets,
2. contact
3. entering a communication with the aliens
4. a new awareness that we are not alone....

The first FAX-soloproject by Victor Sol, already known well from projects like "Gate/Sol", "+N - plane", "XJacks" and "Aerial Service Area 1+2". This CD recorded between 1992 and 1994 in Barcelona/Spain shows up with incredible futuristic soundscapes alternating with minimalistic beatoriented environmental ambient ("Detroit is Waiting"). Victor Sol is famous for contantly buying vintage and rare electronic instruments on his search for the most unique and outstanding sounds. This 12 track album is the best work he has done so far.

David Reeves our decent musician from Canada sent a demo-tape again which did not give us the slightest possibility to even think about refusing it. Again full of excellent environmental ambient, always new, interesting and experimental. 8 brilliant tracks all with different characters.

For this album Victor Sol and Dandy Jack who is one half of "Sieg über die Sonne"-project joined their forces to create this extraordinary album. Some sort of weird acid ambient which is beatoriented and absolutely moving. Tracks start soft and smooth but develop to a climax that almost makes you freak out at about 200 BPM. You can make this experience especially on track 6.
