Pete Namlook (born Peter Kuhlmann /ˈpʰei.teər ˈkuːl.maːn/, in Frankfurt, Germany) is a ambient and electronic-music producer and composer. In 1992, he founded the German record label FAX +49-69/450464, which he oversees. Inspired by the music of Eberhard Weber, Miles Davis, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chopin, Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Pink Floyd, he also composes his own albums.

[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.
