I want to download some MP3s to check out what FSOL's stuff is like. What album should I begin with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead Cities i'd say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead cities, no doubt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also ISDN |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lifeforms is excelent, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fsol= fuckin shit outta luck? j/k. what whas that release with "death in the family" on it? I had that album. Didn't it also have "we have explosive" on it? That music video was silly! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you leave the lights alone please, stop flashing your fuckin lights ISDN is lush |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead Cities is nearly downed....curious to hear their stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead Cities is definitely their best IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I almost forgot about ISDN... grab that one too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a huge fan of The Future Sound of London, what got my hooked was Dead Cities so go for it. It's one of those albums you have to listen to the whole thing from start to finish in one session. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead Cities it is. Will listento it tomorrow. I'm going to bed now. Thanks for responding everybody and goodnight! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lifeforms = ambient dead cities = dancy isdn = the mid point I hope that helps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

My favorite song off of dead cities is my kingdom...awesome song and pachbels D minor song on Lifeforms is so euphoric...I cant remember the name off hand though ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Max for me,. all this hardcore sample intensive futuristic music to choose from, and I pick the piano solo,... heh, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah max is also an incredible song! that other one that reminds me of a ball rolling down a hill is also good! hell lets face it the album is all around incredible! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mhmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Accelerator = standard techno. Lifeforms = greatest ambient album ever. ISDN - trip hop/acid jazz-influenced ambient. Dead Cities = very dark, IDM influenced experimental. The Isness - more prog rock and psychedelia than anything else. Not a good example atall. Love the album though. Choose what sounds best for you, I suppose. Allow me to plug my website. http://www.futuresoundoflondon.fsnet.co.uk It's pretty concise (I try to get most of the news passed through either them or their management)...so have a read. Or something. Enough plugging. Enjoy Dead Cities. :) |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love accelerator, but thats just me. dead cities has some good (i love the we have explosive 12") but its def. not their best work. at the moment i think i will go for cascade ep. it's just brilliance; dark in a organic way.. so lush |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just want to add, FSOL IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ISDN, Dead Cities, Lifeforms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bwahaha, that avatar is the best, reminds me of Juno Reactor art work... I dislike what I've heard (dead cities) but I might d/l some of ISDN to see what it's like, what're some cool songs off that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dirty shadows is exellent for example. smoking japanese babe too, but almost all the songs are equally great and thats why i love fsol so much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm, don't forget Papua New Guinea: Translations. Can't go wrong there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool thanks I'll scope those songs out tonight :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought ISDN a while ago, haven't listened to it yet... maybe i should, people seems to like it ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ISDN is my favorite FSOL album no doubt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fsol are fucking amazing. i think that they are true innovators and really push the envelope, and my buttons too. if i could do anything half as good as them then i would be real pleased with myself. they are one of the reasons that i love music so mush. just get everything you can, and buy the albums if you can afford it. they deserve your money more than most i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so mush? i mean much. i am not a huskie sled bloke. typo's eh? who'd have em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lifeforms is the best...nothing by them is worse than very good...hope this helps! :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Deadcities and Cascade ep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like ISDN and Lifeforms. If you like rockier stuff you might want to try "We have Explosive" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fsol are one of my favorites, I have all their official released stuff. It's like mentioned in early posts, you've got a fsol album for every occasion. I like the Isness album for a listen now and then but I really hope that they surprise us with a mindblowing new Fsol album and leave Amorphous Androgynous in the fridge for a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Add on: If you like the lifeforms album, surely check out the lifeforms paths EP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and if you like more abbrasive pere-autechre glitch techno you might like to check out some of the "Stakker" stuff. One of the FSOL guy's early solo works. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I agree kill switch, Lifeforms EP is incredible! anyone heard the extra songs On ISDN the 1200 pressing or whatever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoy the lifeforms (remixes) album also ... has the vocals of elizabeth fraser (cocteau twins) on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep and nothing beats victorialand! listening to it as we speak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I have, the last song off the alternate "black" version of ISDN absolutely canes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn I wish I owned that...Im jealous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here, but I'm more interested in the 200 page art booklet version of dead cities that I planned of buying off jand,... well,... I think it was jand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that would be incredible as well I love the artwork in their stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember that thread from a time ago. You should make it top priority to get that booklet. ;) My booklet has been heavy used, dreaming away with the artwork and fsol as soundtrack, I could spent hours like this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'll probably E-mail jand when I get money again, first day returning work tomorrow, so I'll be getting steady cash flow soon.... yay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
FSOL are brilliant, and there's really not much more to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's so brilliant and innovative about FSOL? i'm a fan, i just don't know what they do that is so genius, except for maybe their usage of 40 minute ep's as spinoffs for single songs. that's interesting (how they rework something so starkly). but please someone tell me what is innovative about them, it'd help me with a paper i'm doing on electronica (i'd like to include fsol since i'm a fan but i dunno what they've done that's any different from people before them, no matter how cool the music sounds). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never heard anything like Lifeforms before it came out. But that could be just me not knowing enough. :) I saw also Papua new guinea pop up as classis in some books and articles. It's a hard question. Fsol was there from the moment I started listening to electronic music, I take them for granted I guess. Their innovative in some kind of way but it's hard to describe. |
||||||||

Just listened to a few tracks from Dead Cities. I really like the sound of it. Especially the title track keeps playing in my mind. Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Might check out some other releases later on. Ceri: Would you happen to have the Stakker movie special on your PC somewhere or perhaps in analogue form? I checked some extracts of this movie special with Z Twig and Rhubarb playing and I really like it very much. Nowhere to be found on the net though, so no idea if it can be oredered somewhere. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Cascade EP is a good starter. Lifeforms has some of their best moments imo. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
this topic was very usefull for me today... I ll buy lifeforms and dead cities |
