My FB feed has been blowing up this morning with news of the passing of Peter Kuhlmann AKA Pete Namlook. There's not much info on news sites, but I did find this article on Resident Advisor. It's difficult to overstate the significance of Namlook in the world of ambient music. He founded FAX +49-69/450464 Records (usually known just as "FAX"), which put out a massive catalog of releases in the las two decades. Most FAX recordings had painfully small pressing numbers. I remember in the 90s it was nigh on impossible get most of their stuff in the States. Fortunately, some of it was released in the US by Instinct Records. In the age of the mp3 (and the FLAC) it's a different story. I'm not posting any track by Pete, for a couple reasons. First off, there are so many (So. Many.) that trying to pick one would take the rest of the day. Secondly, many of the really good ones are over 20 minutes. Lastly, much of Pete's music is meant to be heard as an entire album. I might put one up later.

That Petraeus Blingee inspired me to check out that site. *shudder* I made the following: all up in this motha fucka!

Wow. This is more or less the line of separation between disco culture and electro & techno.
