dead cities, but lately ive been listening to lifeforms. fsol is a big favourite. i was hoping the new album would be a FSOL album but it's an AA release with the hippy thingies of the isness but maybe a little more electronicky |

dead cities very closely followed by life forms |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite early shit by them is a tie between Metropolis EP and People Livin' Today...now that is catchy dance song. |

Lifeforms (1994), hands down. Cascade EP is the same era and has some brilliant pieces of music. One part of Cascade is included on Lifeforms, I just think that there were better parts to take from the EP (pt4, with the bursts of resonant bass, for example). I never got as much into Dead Cities. ISDN has some really great tracks too, like Egypt. |

Alright, for the first time I managed to reply twice in the same topic. My taste in FSOL seems to remein unchanged. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
so I have dead cities and lifeforms... what else should I get next? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo those two are the best maybe ISDN or Accelerator? |
||||||||
|

Have you ever heard their compilation called "earthbeat?" It's a compilation of all their early 12's off the Jumpin and Pumpin label. Check out the songs: "Coda Coma", "Theme From Outburst", and "Skink." All of them are ACEEEEE especially Coda Coma. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cascade ep is very good imo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Earthbeat is awesome. I found my cassette copy the other day and put it on and realised how much I love most of the tracks. Fucking Coda Coma is one of the best things they've done. Sounds like it'd fit on ISDN pretty well too, I reckon. |

I do. I have we have explosive, papua new guiena and cascade |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the releases i own are: dead cities, lifeforms, and lifeforms (ep). i like lifeforms the most out of these. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead cities. It was my 2nd venture into music without lyrics. Kept my attention the entire time because of it's narrative quality. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the liveforms videos now ... hehehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hell Yeah, Coda Coma is kickass. I made a thread awhile back suggesting that people download it. Not sure how many did, I know of a couple. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cascade. I downloaded Revpersona's "Coda Coma" and that was good too in a classic, breakbeat, umm,`Papa New Guinea styleee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

ISDN, Dead Cities (we have explosives being my least favorite track, but thats probably due to over exposure to it), and the first Amorphous Androgenous album. the stuff pre that was too trance/techno-y. i prefer their soundscape/melodic/experimental side the stuff post that is too hippy in a "i bought this at the nature store" kind of way .. i waited forever for those new albums was really let down. oh well.. I still love these 3 albums and always will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw.. just in case some ppl dont realize it, ISDN was a live album that was performed/recorded over several isdn connections/streams to a couple radio shows and live audiences. it also includes the stuff from far out son of lung (better versions imo). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We Have Explosive is my least favourite track on Dead Cities too. Partially due to overexposure but mainly because I just don't like it, really. I can't say how relieved I was to find out it was actually a piss-take. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
purlieu: yeah, there's really no comparison to it and the other tracks on dead cities, such as 'first death in the family'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Life Forms is a near perfect album. Dead Cities runs a very close second. In fact, ISDN and Tales of Ephidrine were also very good. I just wasn't too keen on SOME of Accelerator, and the fucking jewel case sleeve was ugly as shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In Fact - FSOL are my absolute favourites ... just listen them on LSD ... what perfect story tellers ... |
||||||||

I like Dead Cities the most. Briefly here's why in my book: -standout, catchy singles like "We Have Explosive" as featured in Mortal Kombat... yeah it was a hooky take -nice sampling of Blade Runner (?) on "My Kingdom" -the music videos were really imaginative too -during this time, I have fond memories of constantly checking the FSOL info pages to see WHEN their next album would come out. Needless to say it took awhile so I kept listening to Dead Cities. -a diverse variety of tracks -glistening sheen on "Max" Biggest downside for me would have to be the last "bonus" track... was that even by FSOL!?? Anyway I was drifting off to a restful place the first time it played through, and that jarred me unpleasantly. :( They should follow up ISDN with something like ADSL or OC3 for this day and age :) Ahhh I do miss them. |

"we have explosive" is my least favorite FSOL track. |
||||||||
|

The hidden track (Dead Cities Reprise) is by Headstone Lane (an artist on FSOL's now defunct label EBV). I love the traffic sounds in it, but the rest is pretty average. I'm now praying for a live Amorphous Androgynous album. They played at a festival in Sweden last week with a full live band, and did a bunch of tracks from The Isness and a load from the forthcoming Alice In Ultraland. Only one mp3 has surfaced so far, recorded from a Swedish radio station. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn....I need some new FSOL. Anything at all! I love everything they've released from Accelerator---->Dead Cities. Just....the new Amorphous Adrogynous isn't doing it for me. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Thanks purlieu, go figure :) |

There's a FSOL album to follow Alice In Ultraland. Last thing I heard Gaz was saying it'd be soon, but considering Alice was supposed to be out at the beginning of the year and it's only just being finished, don't expect it until at least 2006. |
||||||||

Just curious if you'd know, but which out of the two are more active on the FSOL alias? I always assumed Brian would be since he started out as Humanoid and then Gaz came along. Isn't this new style of music more Gaz's idea after he had an enlightment? Or is it pretty much 50/50 all the way down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm all honesty, I don't really know. I'm nowhere near far enough into the whole FSOL circle to know anything like that, although I'm very curious myself. Gaz always states that Brian is as involved as ever in the production of the new Amorphous Androgynous stuff, although I believe Gaz is definitely more in charge on the initial composition... most of the tracks are born from him messing around on his guitar. But I do think Brian's still more involved than it sometimes seems. |
