just decided off the cuff to get hold of this again, i hadn't heard it for years. and... it sounds great! i used to loath it, at the time a firend of mine was so disgusted with it he took it back to the shop and swapped it for something else. they really changed their style so abruptly it really put me off. and yes more recently they have done it again with the isness, and another aa album is to follow, and i didnt like that either! (i'll listen to it again in 2010) maybe it takes me 10 years to get into anything new :) perhaps i might start to like incanabula this year who knows. but don't hold your breath! funny how youre taste in music changes without you even noticing :) |

Didn't the vinyl of this come originally in a rubber sleeve? I remember it, maybe, in Sister Ray, or it could be another IDM dream. I've never heard it, though I have a lot of their records. |

that was uf orb. are you spying on my ebay watches? ive been tracking that this week |
||||||||

Was it? My mind, it has gone. I was sure ISDN came in something, oh I don't know. Originally it was limited, that much I am sure of. Ribbed. Was it UFOrb? I really must,... well I just must. |

i bought the black cover vinyl version in HMV on the day it came out. It wasn't a rubber sleeve but, it was gatefold and had velcro parts to keep it shut. |

pretty good |

yeah i like it. not my favourite fsol, but then again i'm not sure what is, cos its all really good in my book. fsol dont get as much press round here as they deserve. just look how few people have shown interest in the thread. |

i really like them. i dont have enough of their stuff. only lifeforms which is a bit trippy. tho i love papa new guinea too.. |

makes me happy to see this here. i was just listening to it at work a few days ago. yay. |

I used to love F.S.O.L. but whatever you do steer clear of the last Amorphous Androgenous album, I'm a big prog fan but this just encapsulated everything that gives the genre a bad name and ended up giving me mental images of dodgy post Gong hippy casulties, I think it was the vocals that did this more than anything. b.t.w there is one F.S.O.L track that samples pretty much the whole of a Robert Leiner track with very little else added, the cheeky monkeys. |

sorry I just read your post again and realised that you probably already know how shit that aa album is ;) |

explosive. not explosives. |

I have the ISDN black version cd. Comes in a fold out papersleeve with velcro, really beautiful (front cover is black instead of the regular white) Don't know nothing about a rubber sleeve, i think that doesnt exist. For hardcore FSOl fans (like me) also check the classic Earthbeat compilation cd (Jumpin Pumpin 1992) It's a compilation of their oldest alteregos like Mental Cube, Semi real, Humanoid, Candese, Indo tribe etc etc. Not very difficult to get your hands on. (ebay..) |

and yes, the AA album sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got that too, in fact ISDN was meant to be a limited pressing and was originally deleted on the day of release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i quite liked the aa album, actually. isdn is good, too; fsol sure as hell are varied, but that's a great thing. |
||||||||
|

|
|
love ISDN i hate the fucking isness fucking sitar? fuck. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i only have dead cities and lifeforms by them this is close to any of these? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's similar to both and it was released in between the 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what other fsol are recomened? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they did a great little ep with Liz Fraiser from Cocteau Twins. 'Paths' i think it's called. It's basically a bunch of 'Lifeforms remixes' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the single you are talking about called Lifeforms EP, same name as the full length. Some different versions (so called paths)of the track Lifeforms (from the full length Lifeforms). I can recommend you the Cascade ep (1993). In my opinion their best ep release. Check also the Accelerator (1992) album for more dance based tracks, its very good. The my Kingdom ep (96) is also excellent. Their first Amorphous Androgynous album Tales from the Ephidrina (1993), is also good, but the most dated in sound. Some true gems on that album are Liquid insects and Mountain Goat |

"I have the ISDN black version cd. Comes in a fold out papersleeve with velcro, really beautiful (front cover is black instead of the regular white)" I've got that one as well, and loved FSOL, but since the isness I think I will sell it on ebay. |

cascade is my favourite release theyve done. apart from the humanoid stuff, obviously. i like the idea of the eps they did, taking a theme and extending that independantly of the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's true. i used to like some records, then hated them and now i love them. or loved, then threw away and downloaded again years after. and ISDN is in my favs. with that "aliens" sample in the beginning : "alright...let's see what we can ssee...everybody online, looking good" - i first thought it was Cobain or Dougan speaking :) |
