Yeah, Geogaddi is a classic, but if you like UK ambient techno style stuff then you can't beat Orbital...

yeah Papa New Guiniea is good, very good and a track i heard on the net from Dead Cities was excelent. If HMV had dead cities in i prob would have got that. What is lifeforms like?

I am not even that keen on Papua New Guinea but Dead Cities is marvelous one of my all time favourite album..and in a similar vein is ISDN..life forms ia ambience taken to it's very limits..not bad..but I prefer their darker more twisted excursions..(i.e Dead Cities and ISDN :))

Lifeforms is incredible. It's my favourite album from FSOL. Lifeforms is electronic artificial life and it awakes in your stereo speakers...

Yeah, life forms is a much nicer listening experience... they kind of lost it after that...

ISDN feels more organic, like they did it on a shoestring, and just sent it out the the punk rock style they are.

Lifeforms is one of my favourite albums. Defintly give FSOL another try. Dead Cities and ISDN are both amazing too. I really like the My Kingdom single as well.

There was a documentary on the French architect, Noveau(sp?), shown here a couple of years ago. Anyway, they played some of the Cascade ep as bg-music, part2 I think. It was an awesome match between music and imagery.

is my kingdom worth getting if you already have Dead Cities?
ISDN sounds like it does because it's like a live performance of sorts broadcast directly on ISDN channels

The inlay is rather good i think. All those wierd trippy images and then thier punk rock manifesto.

My Kingdom is definitly worth getting. It's atmosphere is a little more like lifeforms than Dead Cities though. Much more organic ambient electronic. I actually play it more than Dead Cities because it flows so well. Not that DC doesn't flow but MK is amazing.

Accelerator was good for it's time and mood (nascent trance scene) but now sounds too happy and formulaic (even though FSOL devised some of those formulas:))...

Buy all the albums. They are all classic. And dont forget to buy the early Humanoid single too.
(if you find it)
