I only have ISDN, havent heard much else by future sound of london. I heard the early music they made they were pressured by label/manager to make a certain kind of music that was supposed to have mass appeal, like crappy house, and then they just started making what they wanted too and then there albums started getting good.

I didn't now there was an FSOL album called 'ISDN4, but a friend give me mp3's last year with a band called 'isdn' (no titles on the mp3s) so maybe it wasn't a band but tracks from FSOL ?

it could be the album 'ISDN' (there's an early variant of it which has only some of the same tracks) but there's no FSOL album known by (even nicknamed) 'ISDN4'

it's because I kept the shift key pressed when typing " ' " I did mean 'ISDN'
.. anyway I got to re-listen to it because I can't remember how it sounds like. I think it was kind of atmospheric, but quite poppy, so I don't think it's them.

one of my favorite rappers, common, had considered naming his new album 'the isness' (either cos he and fsol both find the word (and it is a real word) interesting or cos com jacked it from them) although i'm pretty sure he's leaning more toward the title he thought of originally, 'electric circus'. i reported it to ross's fsol site and he put it up.

it's psychedelica, it's not straight-up psychedelic rock. i don't know, it's kind of the ungodly love child of boards of canada, pink floyd, jimi hendrix, and nick drake.

live instruments (including sitar and other exotic instruments) and electronic equipment, it's brilliant. the official web site has sound clips i think, so does the #1 fan site. here're links to both:

wow
i listened to some of it, and it sounds like... what the beatles would have sounded like, had they the technology we have today...
or something
it was way cool from what i heard... dont want to listen to it all though... cause im convinced to get the cd, and i like hearing it for the first time on cd!
so whats the deal... are they no longer FSOL? Now theyre releasing under the name annanymos androgynous or something?

Zeus: they've always had that alternate name but have only used it once, to release an album full of songs that were "too different" from the music they put out as the Lifeforms album. this is only the 2nd time they've used the alternate name, perhaps because this is only a diversion from their other material but i don't know for sure. interestingly, the album IS coming out as being by FSOL in the U.S. (i guess for name recognition)

but you said "interestingly, the album IS coming out as being by FSOL in the U.S." so i was asking if it was only gonna be under FSOL in the US, and AA in europe?

FSOL have released some of my favorite electronic albums, like ISDN, Dead Cities and Accelerator. Sometimes their music sounds a bit dated, as i think lifeforms does, but I'm looking forward to this new one.
