Pete Namlook (born Peter Kuhlmann /ˈpʰei.teər ˈkuːl.maːn/, in Frankfurt, Germany) is an important ambient and electronic-music producer and composer. In 1992, he founded the German record label FAX +49-69/450464, which he oversees.

[edit] Overview

As of August 2005, Namlook and company had released 135 albums (excluding re-releases, vinyl singles, compilations of existing material, and FAX releases beginning with PS, in which he personally is not involved in the music making).

Pete Namlook has released many solo albums, as well as collaboration albums with notable artists such as Klaus Schulze, Bill Laswell, Geir Jenssen (alias Biosphere), Atom Heart, and Tetsu Inôe.

“Namlook” is “Koolman” spelled backwards, which is the German pronunciation of his real name.
