no i haven't. is that available somewhere anymore?
catharsis: thats is why i think they released it as amorphous.. it would be so much easier if people didn't know it was the same team. god knows i had prejudices when i got it. i still think i'd liked it anyway, it's a really great album, fsol or not fsol. it's stupid not to like it because its not like their other stuff. (hei richards releases differ alot don't they? and he has even more aliases..)

when richard varies his style, he still sounds good. this album sounds like a joke. a joke that cost me 18 dollars.
in fact, anyone want to buy this c.d. off me? REAL CHEAP make an offer.

The album sits at number 3 in my alltime favourite albums. I'm also proud in saying I was the first member of the public to hear the album. I got the original promo (for my FSOL website) off Ebay for...a fuckload of money, this time last year.
I now have seven copies of the album. Galaxial Pharmaceutical is my favourite song ever. I love everything about the album. It's got elements of late sixties and seventies rock, and elements of nineties electronica - my two favourite times for music. It's somewhere inbetween electronica and rock, which is a brilliant mix, I think. And it's quite uplifting, without being cheesy overall.
Did I mention I like it?
By the way, the new single's going to be Divinity. Can I plug my FSOL site again? http://www.futuresoundoflondon.fsnet.co.uk/
(I only posted this to make Evolume feel sick ;))

1.FSOL/Lifeforms 2.Blur/Parklife 3.Amorphous Androgynous/The Isness (promo/mispress version) 4.Manic Street Preachers/The Holy Bible 5.Radiohead/Kid A
I think. I dunno, my top 10 is pretty messed up, everything outside the top three constantly changes. There's stuff from AFX to the Moody Blues in there...

hmm.. i like all those albums except of course the Isness. though none of them would make my top five.
my top 5: (currently) 1. Aphex Twin - I care because you do 2. NIN - The Downward Spiral 3. Aphex Twin - SAWII 4. David Bowie - Low 5. Skinny Puppy - Last Rights
hmm.. its really difficult to pick a top five acutally.
My top five favorite FSOL releases:
1. ISDN 2. Dead Cities 3. Lifeforms 4. Paths ( i am a big cocteau twins fan too!) 5. Tales of ephidrina

Neeta....I know. I'm from Canada, it's released as FSOL here, but when I went back to allmusic.com I realized that they used their AA psuedonym. It's kind of their experimental persona.
Still like Tales of Ephidrena better....maybe you could convince me. I've only heard it once. I'm probably underestimating their talent.

WHat the hell is Paths?
Props to NIN downward spiral. Come to think of it, it was probably the first "rock/alternative/industrial" album that heavily influenced my decision to explore electronica.

Paths is an EP. Lifeforms Paths 1-7. Featuring Liz Frazer on vocals. Similar to Lifeforms (the album), only a bit darker, and a little more...well, I think maybe ethnic sounding? More percussion sounds than electronic beats...
