Post-Fax (Carpe Sonum, …txt, Fantasy Enhancing, et al): S&D

Any other Fax heads checking out these labels? They’re releasing music by a lot of Fax alumni (Heckmann, Chillage, Krystian Shek, Lorenzo Montanà, Moufang) as well as newer producers who are clearly indebted to Namlook, Inoue, etc. A lot of it definitely scratches the itch when I’m looking for shamelessly 90s-sounding step sequencer / hardware / floaty spacy synth sounds, but there are also a few releases I’ve heard that sound to me a bit bloated and solemn in ways I would never associate with Fax (but would definitely associate with Erased Tapes, Winged Victory, etc). What are some of your favorites? What other labels are doing this sort of thing?

Ohhhh, that sounds great, would love to hear some individual recommends.

Well, for starters, I like these a lot:

Mick Chillage - Saudade
Architects of Existence - s/t
Lorenzo Montana & Mick Chillage - Deviazioni Cosmiche
Lorenzo Montana - Haemus
anything by Autumn of Communion
Massimo Vivona - Breathe

Still getting to know / learning to like these:

Gabriel Le Mar - Stripped
Motionfield - Luftrum (this one is highly regarded but I'm not feeling it yet)
Bubble - OI (need to recalibrate my expectations because if this came out on Kranky I'd probably love it)

Nobody else? ILX sleeping on the 90s ambient revival!

Thanks for the list, gonna check these out!

Fax-style ambient with a minuscule hint of electro (see Morley's Titled album on Apollo)
