what does everyone think of this? I saw it down at the second hand store today, and was going to get it... is it worth buying?

If you want some nice relaxing Ambient music which you can fall asleep to, I suggest you go grab it.
I personally prefer the release over SAWII.

I dunno...I feel that it is a lot of pointless noodling. I listen to it often and it technically great in that it is heavily sample driven and very beautifully sequenced...but really sometimes I get the feeling that they were laying the cheese factor a bit too thick. I listen to it every now and then though. I feel Dead Cities is a much better FSOL album, a great one, in fact.

It's rather dated sounding......totally sampler driven.....very similar to the orb.

Funkmaster...
I think I have some idea of your taste, with you liking Passions and all. Because I own the album, and I brought it over to my Aunt's place and her flatmate had Passions. The both absolutely loved it, and I burned a copy for them.
Get this album, Funk. I guarantee you will love it :)

It's absolutely incredible. It was my first slice of ambient.
One night I had friends come over who are usually pretty rowdy. We smoked a phat doob and I threw on Lifeforms with a cool visualization. We didn't talk the entire night. We just stared at the screen and tripped right out to the alien sounds of FSOL. It was an intense experience.

Yeah, agreed....
It's just chock-a-block full of stuff, there's just so many layers and so much happening.

My alltime favourite album. The most atmospheric thing I've ever heard. It just...looks like it sounds. Weird landscapes, rainforests, etc etc...I can see it every time I listen. Absolutely fantastic record.
Plus, it has Dead Skin Cells, which is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever. And Eggshell.

Eggshell and Omnipresence kick so much ass. Among Myselves is a hit too.

Omnipresence, too, is outstanding. Did you know the sound at the very beginning of the song is sampled from that really tacky 80s fantasy film 'Willow'? I bet nobody even remembers it. Was watching it a bit back and I about fell off my chair when I heard it.

Dude, I own Willow!!! What part are you talking about? (what part of the film)
The sound that springs forth from Lifeforms truly does create visions of a digital rainforst set 1000 years in the future. It is a trip full of unbelievable imagery.

It's near the end of the film, I think. It's probably when they're all waiting around the outside of the castle. It's the beginning of a shot - the camera changes as that note plays.
