Future Sound of London

I really enjoy their work. ISDN and Lifeforms would have to
be my favorite albums by them.

Your thoughts.

FSOL.NU ?

I think their sounds are generally taken from outside
sources (swimming pool splashes etc.) so it's way less
interesting and creative than making them from scratch. Dead
cities is pretty cool but doesn't make my top 30 list
probably. Lifeforms seems to rely on echoes mostly to make
the music interesting, while works like that one weird
autechre tri repetae disk two (track... 4 maybe) is way more
interesting in the echo department. It mostly feels ambient.

hey M, i think you need to think again before talking
complete crap about magnificent music like fsol. you fucking
piece of wannabe shit. just cause you dont understand doesnt
mean the music isnt good. fucking moron

At least I provided reasons to back my opinion of the
group's music. You only backed your opposite opinion with
the subjective word magnificent (and a few naughty nasty bad
names directed at me).


 

Leelia from -op on 2001-10-28 05:52 [#00046258]



Sorry M, for I will have to strongly disagree with you on
that one. I personally have not heard any other artist
doing what they do the way they do it. To me it is quite
interesting. Music is also about emotion. The ability to
provoke certain feelings with sound, not just percussion
patterns/melodies.

m, you say that using sounds from outside sources is
uninteresting and uncreative? have you listened to matmos?
they build all of their songs from various outside noises
(liposuction machines, shuffling cards, hamster cages,
etc.)...and their music is very complex and interesting...
im also pretty sure aphex does it quite a bit...i have a
feeling that most of the beats from the rdj album were made
up of everyday sounds...he also claims to have used the
sound of his friend's diarrhea in a song...as well as
falling cutlery...although i suppose fsol dont really use
outside sounds in this way...they use them more for
atmospherics than rhythm...
dont mind me,
i'm just rambling now....

everyone has an oppinion.
all ill say is anyone who finds thier oppinion to outway
another's is an arrogant poo brain!!!!!!!!!
i love the the album, but power to m for speaking his mind,


oh and from now on , say reverb instead of echo. it makes
you sound more proffesional:)

i was drunk as fuck. sorry M, but ur still a moron. and i
agree with the others

fsol's new site is www.futuresoundoflondon.com They're
still updating, but they're sure to give info on their new
amorphous andrognyous cd.


 

m on 2001-10-29 16:25 [#00046700]



I think wayout described the reason I don't like them a lot
better, they base their sounds on atmosphere rather than
rhythm mostly. I like complex organized stuff. I like the
tracks on dead cities, just not as much as other stuff.

my kingdom is my favorite song by them. that song is
amazing
