The original Ambient Cookbook came out back in 1995, and gave the listener a good cross section of the music available on Fax at the time. There was a mixture of music from not just Namlook, but also from the numerous other artists and collaborators on the label.

Now, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the label, the Ambient Cookbook II has been released. Comparisons with the original release are of course inevitable, but in reality this new 4 CD set is something entirely new. Whilst still featuring an excellent selection of music from Fax, the majority of the tracks are by Namlook or Namlook & Collaborators. The only non-Namlook tracks are Atom's "Tuff Transmitter", Inoue's "Magnetic Field" and Jochem Paap's "Dx Synth".

The most noticable thing about this release is that the vast majority of the tracks are continually mixed with crossfades of significant length. Unlike the first Cookbook, the tracks here are mixed in such a way as to compliment each other, and to create "new" tracks. On the fourth disc for example, the track "Gel Gor Beni Ask N'eyledi" from the Sultan album, plays by itself for the first few minutes, before further tracks such as "DSPill" and "Trautoniolo" are brought into the mix. Only when "Rich Dreams" from 2350 Broadway starts, does the initial Sultan track finally fade. Similarly mixed sections appear throughout the four discs, but there are also sections that are relatively unmixed. The aforementioned "Magnetic Field" from the Ambiant Otaku album only has a very quick crossfade at beginning and end, but then in my opinion, this particular track is just too devine a listening experience to mess about with!

Overall, this is a highly recommended release, which would serve as a good introduction to the label. In the main though, it is a worthwhile part of any Fax devotee's collection. Familiar tracks are put together in a new context, so even if you do have most or all of the original releases, this is still worth getting. Here's to the next ten years of Fax!

"Here it comes. The long awaited 10 year anniversary release from FAX. A special 4 CDMix that is not merely a 'best of' FAX Chill-Out and Ambient music but something entirely new. Pete Namlook himself created a digital mix that combines, at times, up to 5 tracks to give an entire new view to the sound of FAX music at a total length of over 5 hours. The artists featured on this release are a who's who of Electronic Music. In fact, these musicians formed together with Pete Namlook to create the sound of the label and were innovators in their individual fields. This release is limited to 1000 copies and according to the prices on Ebay for limited items of FAX from the past, this will be the perfect collectors item for the future and we estimate the first and last pressing will be gone even before the CD has shipped. So we highly recommend you pre-order. This release comes with a big booklet and a lot of recipes like its predecessor, some historical facts and insights to the labels philosophy. We hope you enjoy this release as much as we did creating it.

Music by: Air, Silence, Escape, Namlook/Held, Sequential, Psychonavigation, Coer Atomique, Namlook, Shado, Jet Chamber, Syn, Virtual Vices, Dreamfish, From Within, Fires of Ork, The Dark Side of the Moog, Pulsation, Outland, Planetarium, Jochem Paap, 2350 Broadway, Ambient Otaku, MoveD/Namlook, Koolfang, EMC, Miles Apart, Hearts of Space, Sultan, SHADO."
