This has to be one of FSOLs best songs and one of my favorites of all time... by ANYONE if you dont listen to future sound of london... you smell like elderberry |
||||||||

i listen to future sound of london. but i prefer cascade |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

my kingdom is a great track, i like what they do with their singles, pick a theme from an album and extend it over several parts. i particularly like the last part of my kingdom, the upbeat bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well... all their releases are pretty different... Accelorator = dancy techno type music ISDN = downtempo trip hop (my least fav) Lifeforms = ambient techno... chill Dead Cities = Dark Issness = hippy rock :-s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i love it too! (the picking a track and extending it thing) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i will check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
dead cities is my fav... so thats my reccomendation for you :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I like the video to this track as well. Very good IMO |
||||||||
|

|
so... you're not showing us pictures of your place? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whered you see the video? I havnt even seen the video!!! |
||||||||

Issness = hippy rock :-s Exactly. That's why I consider "The Isness" to be FSOL's first great failure...everything that "My Kingdom" is stretched over a ridiculous length on an album full of over-wrought prog-rock with electronics and lyrics cheesier than Underworld's (although Hyde's lyrics fit in the techno-lore of Underworld's driving rhythms and beatwork)...Hugely disappointing album... "My Kingdom" is made even better sandwiched between two superb supporting tracks; "Everyone in the World is Doing Something Without Me" and "Max". Class! |

I think the ep is much better, the whole idea seems to work much better that way and the first part is just heavenly esspecially when the vocal sample first drops in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lifeforms is great. I was listening to it the other day just reminded how fucking good F.S.O.L are or certainly were. And yet no one really talks about them much. Its funny Aphex may often be rated as the near damm best out there but there are a hell of a lot of artists who are equally good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It didn't help that they took a 6-year break between the two albums I just talked about (which weren't helped by Garry Cobain's health problems and extensive personal travel schedule for personal enlightenment, either...) |

i love fsol. i love my kingdom. i love lifeforms. i love papua new guinea. yup. |

A quick bump to quietly mention that the single version of My Kingdom is by and away my favourite piece of music by anyone, ever, ever. The studio one really lacks something. The structre isn't as good (when the vocal sample comes in... wow), and it lacks the gorgeous synths of the single one. I think the My Kingdom EP is my favourite CD ever. And the video is my favourite video. And they're my favourite band. Yes, I think this comes out on top of everything. |

i love FSOL |

It's not my fav but i rate it highly and i've listend to it alot and i'm not bored of it. Which is good considering i've had it since it came out. |

Seven years old, isn't it? That means I've been into FSOL that long, too. And look where that led. :P |

hippy rock, what an awful and off the mark description of the isness. that makes it sound like the greatful dead or something. i suppose spiritualized and spacemen 3 were hippy rock too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've yet to actually come up with a good description of The Isness. What the fuck is it? |
||||||||

FILE UNDER: samplerdelic cosmic rock opera - galactic space music - sitar breaks-psychedelic orchestral glam folk raga - wobbly oozescapes = progtronica. ;) |

|
|
say, what do you think a / collaboration would've sounded like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Interesting' is probably the best term I could think for that. Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lifeforms-style. Hmm. |

my kingdom is one of my favorite FSOL as well. i love the "rachel's theme" samples from the blade runner soundtrack and the ennio morricone samples. FSOL excel at seemless sample interjection and utilization. i agree, the single version is better. it feels more complete than the album version. but the album version works better on the album than the single version would. i'll not go into my hatred of "the isness" as i have already illustrated my dis-satisfaction of this abomination in several discussions contained within the archives of this message board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mm, I agree. The single one sounds more epic and freestanding than the darker album one. I once did a MiniDisc with it in, it sounded good, but probably not as effective. I just love the vocal sample. Everyone In The World... is another great use of such vocals. The lower, background vocals in that are so beautiful, when they cut in near the end... wow. The Isness is one of my favourite albums. ;) |

what does elderberry smell like? i love The Isness and i like Lifeforms very much. (Lifeforms would be perfect if there was a real "ending" to it... which it lacks - still great music though!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't know about elderberry, but elderflower tastes like shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, yes. Lifeforms is my favourite album, but Little Brother is such a bad ender. It just sort of... peters out. Elaborate burn isn't much better. Shame, the other songs are perfect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like elderflower... question of taste i suppose =) i tasted elderberry syrup once and it barely has any taste at all though, and even the little taste it had wasn't that good. question of taste i suppose, again! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way anyone knows what "isness" means? i found the definition: "Isness: moving beyond the state of neutrality in regards to the polarities; holding everything as equal and the same in Consciousness." which barely means anything to me... i think i read somewhere else it was "the feeling before sleeping or just after waking", but i'm not sure it was the definition of the word! |

ISDN is my least favorite FSOL release... in fact I might go as far as saying... I dont like it. I never listen to it. I dunno... just not my thang |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like ISDN. But for a FSOL album, it doesn't cut it. I love their other five. I just like ISDN. |

I have the Dead Cities CD that came with a thick book. There are so many images in there that would make awesome wallpapers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn you! *looks at his normal sized book* well... its not the size that matters! *cry* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
It ruins the symmetry in my CD tower. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would gladly take it from you :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ISDN is probably the one i listen to most. it sounds the most raw to me. |
