>>128245761I'm a fucking retard, apologies
>>128245817that's fine. i googled him and pic-related made me laugh. apparently senor coconut is also a japanese man.
>>128245838Well, that just proves my point about how niche the man is :) Google can't figure out who he is
>>128245858anything good happening in ambient lately? i sort of stopped paying attention after the bimbo drone (positive) scene exploded.or does it all still sound like the average 12k / room40 stuff?
>>128245890I honestly don't keep up with modern ambient, either, not because of any personal problems with the genre, I just don't like newer music all that much
>>128245708I've shelled out some cash for his CDs. Probably the best artist on the FAX label.
>>128245904eh fair enough. i'm going to check out that carrier lp later, his run of ep's were pretty okay. about as ambient as i can handle lately (not very)
>>128245952Forget the EPs, go straight to World Receiver, I'm a diagnosed schizoid who feels emotion on a lower level than most of humanity but Health Loop on that album made me feel alive somehow
>>128246063Anon I meant I was going to go listen to the new lp by guy brewer/shifted/carrier But sure I'll put this on the list
>>128245708it was rumored that tetsu is an alter ego of pete namlook
>>128245912Ohh nice, his cds are some of the more expensive ones in the fax label. I wanted ambiant otaku but the pricing for the original fax cds are too high for me right now. I might just buy Zenith or some of Shades of Orion instead.
>>128245708I made a Psybient/Ambient/Trance chart with tons of FAX stuff on it and more.
>>128246171It doesn't help that the Ambient World CD reissues are also expensive and have that hideous remake artwork too.
>>128246091My retardism is proven once more.>>128246142I heard of this, but, well, we have interviews and pictures of the guy, and confirmation of his family members. >>128246205Danke schön
>>128245708I remember hearing speculation that he might've left Japan for the US.
>>128246205it's like half namlook pseudonym projects
>>128246740Didn't he live at 2350 Broadway in NYC?
