AREAL 073EP
|
Areal presents a 12" from Fairmont. "People of Dysnomia, come out of your cute little houses with your hands up high in the sky!" That's when the Dysnomians start running, unable to accept the unavoidable. "How many percent on the cannon?" he yells. "Sir, 100 percent Sir!" The Captain does not over-think. "Fire!" And as the laser cannon fires, the crew suddenly realizes the Dysnomians are not as stupid as they thought they were. Instead of firing frightening laser-fire next to their homes to make them obey the mighty pirate and give up all their gold and adamanthium, the ship itself gets fired away backwards into the endless emptiness of the Haumea nebula.

TRAUM 130EP
|
Fairmont returns to Traum with 4 great tracks. "3 Cities" is a sonic track that opens with an arpeggiator sequence, leading to indistinguishable, inflammable vocals by Jacob Fairley himself. With "Supercluster," a dramatic and mighty electro epic is put into gear. "They Live In The Moon" recaptures the spirit of '60s psychedelia and is a unique blend of past and present electronics. "Mercury" could be have been written by Terry Riley or other '70s minimalist composers.

AREAL 055EP
|
"I'm in this labyrinth again. Corridors, tunnels, etc., leading towards any possible and impossible directions. It's like an Escher picture.
"Music... it sounds like music. It's somehow threatening, but at the same time, I'd love to go there. Please, Doctor, may I go to the music?"
"No, you must resist, be strong!"
"Too late. I'm already on my way to the music. I simply cannot resist.
Doctor?
I can hardly hear you anymore. Doctoooor?!"
"Mr. Fairley?.... Mr. Fairley?..........Mr. Fairleeeeeey?!!!"

BCR 019EP
|
Here is a tantalizing taste of Jake Fairley's (aka Fairmont) forthcoming debut album, Coloured In Memory. These five mixes of "Flight of the Albatross" will appeal to those looking for the dancefloor aspect of Border Community, while also catering to the more experimental end of the label's fan-base. The original mix skips along in triplet time while the other remixes take things into darker areas. Remixers include Reef Caribbean, Christ. and Metope.

ECHO 016EP
|
"We are proud to announce the first EP by Fairmont aka Jake Fairley on Echocord. Over the past few years Jake has become recognized as a key force in the growing Canadian electronic music scene. Since June 2000, Jake has had nearly twenty releases under various names and on various labels, mostly under the Kompakt distribution umbrella. Being from Toronto, he has developed a style which is a little harder, a little drier, and a lot dirtier than the common sound from Montreal. All 3 tracks on this EP will fit perfectly on the dancefloor, especially for the afterhours, all with a beautiful, deep and minimal structure."

TRAUM 010CD
|
"Fairmont is the alias of Jacob Fairley and stands for his melodic techno soul side as opposed to his radical stripped down minimal techno releases on Dumb Unit, Sender, and Killer. Under Fairmont he has released two 12"s on Traum. Paper Stars features tracks that deliberately have been recorded over the last 12 months for a project that was to introduce Jacobs vocals, guitars sounds, drum machines and synths. With Paper Stars he departs even more from his status as a minimal techno producer, giving credit to his rock roots, which a city such as Toronto is known for. Fairley hums melodies, rocks basslines that sound like 1000 trapped bees ('Last Words') and then dives into a minimal groover ('True North', 'Inside') to end in a folk nurtured "Ignore Me'. Paper Stars tells a story, is spiced with pictures and emotions that allow the listener to rehash a bit of his life. In contrast to his new project, The Uncut, we witness a stronger pop influence drawing for example on Wolfgang Voigt Gas project ('Kinmount') stating a light quality with bits of heaviness. Ten tracks that fly by as if you were sitting on the back seats of a car letting towns and buildings pass by."
