FSOL is classic and they were one of the cutting edge electronica artists of the early 90's. My personal favorites are the "Cascades" Single/EP/Minialbum off of the grand "Lifeforms" album - which is also great - and the follow up - initially a limited edition - studio live album "ISDN". The title is dated but the music feels fresh even today. Their music videos - that had a substantial amount of rotation on the late night alternative shows on MTV - were absolutely mindblowing back then. |

I muted Nausicaa and gave the entire anime a FSOL soundtrack. It was played at a few parties. This thread made me remember. |

It is a brilliant album - I think I have bought it about 4 times, somehow it has got repeatedly lost over the years. Every track on it is gold. I need to listen to it again, now. |

Stolen documents is my fave, i suppose some of the samples date the album but id rather listen to it than 99% of modern techno |

sir, i find the word 'shitty' rather offensive in this given circumstance. having majored with a graphics degree in 1993 i would say that at the time it was rather forward at the time. i await your pseudo apology? kidding thou, as an age the album still stands out. as more of a compilation (as a lot of debut albums are) of early stuff. dougans was a stalwart in the late 80s together with plenty of others. when he decided to join with kobain it wasn't to everyone's taste but his/their music changed drasticly. lifeforms and isdn were not to everyone's taste. my sadly deceased dj friend used to jokingly mock them as over 40s techno but he had a point. but they were and i would like to think still are pioneers and their sound will always affect musicians from then until now and the years beyond my life. |

Thanks for posting Gwely. That really goes along well! Do you have a tracklist along with it? FSOL were in a league of their own. I have difficulties to accept that they, and a lot of other early IDM acts, will never create soundscapes like this again. |

This thread is deja vu. This exact thread has come up at least twice here. The Future Sound Of Nausicaa and everything... |

Personally I like the graphics. I call them "shitty" in an affectionate way; anyone plugged into the excitement of those times will feel similarly, but to others they may be genuinely shitty.... |

Strange, right? We'd assumed it'd go on forever. |
