pete namlook
2001-05-09 by Dr. Whammo
This is slightly OT for elektron. A friend of mine at work used to run a small underground club in Florida a few years back, and they just used the space as a hang out for before and after other 'real' clubbing. At one point, some promoters approached them because they had Pete Namlook flying in from Germany and their appointed venue cancelled on them at the last minute. So these guys got to host Mr. Namlook in a 20 by 20 foot room with a tower stack of amps in each corner... and it was a free show!! Hehe. Namlook recorded the show and it is published by his label. Its called "Monolith". Damn good stuff. -----Original Message----- From: matt hillier <ishvara13@...> To: elektron-users@yahoogroups.com <elektron-users@yahoogroups.com> Date: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 1:41 PM
