Pete Namlook & Klaus Schulze's Dark Side of the Moog series, C/D, S/D

Most of the Namlook stuff I've heard is kind of a snooze, and the black hole that is Bill Laswell lurks behind these records. But Schulze is something of a wayward genius even if quality control isn't his strong suit. Besides, the idea behind this series intrigues me: epic analog texture-fests, composed on giant modulars by two generations of synth-heads.

I regret to say, however that what I've heard thus far (I, II and IV) tends far too much toward the ambient and not enough towards Moog-i-ness.

What say ILM of this eleven volume series with the cute Pink Floyd puns ("Obscured by Klaus" being my favorite)?

despite having a mere 50 or so fax albums (+ fax related via RI/axiom releases) i dont have any of these collabs.
i guess i find the fact there are 11 of the buggers a little intimidating, and fear that if i get one and love it, i will need to track down the rest, thus reinstating my fax addiction of '94.

VIII was recorded at a live show and has some breakbeat stuff, and a trautonium. It's the first one I bought and a good introduction to the series, I think.

Thanks for the 2350.org link. I haven't visited that site in probably 8 years. It is good to see that it is still up.

Just downloaded XI and it's just my kind of thing but I could definitely see how some might find it snoozeworthy. Perfect for late night, drifting off to sleep music though.
