I thought I'd share a bit of news here, for those who are unaware... After nine years of mysterious absence, the Amorphous Androgynous album 'Environments', as advertised in the 'Lifeforms' sleeve, is finally being released! Supposedly remastered with extra tracks (but who'd know?), it's to be released later this year. Quite possibly it'll be Lifeforms-ish, only darker and more abstract. But that's just a guess. And before that, we're to expect the first 'Future Sound Of London' album since Dead Cities (bear in mind The Isness was technically an Amorphous Androgynous album). Based on samples and ideas from The Isness, it will infact be a more electronic and typically FSOL-like album. Might restore the hopes of a few fans. That's due out 'soon' (more details to follow). Also, there'll be an EP/single of 'Divinity', the second single from The Isness, later this year. This all followed next year by another Amorphous Androgynous album of Isness-era tracks, and a possible best-of DVD release makes this a rather exciting time for FSOL fans. Rant over. ;) |

Excellent news, purl! :D Oh yeah, just realised how you know this...you run the supremely excellent WTTGP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Environments will be great... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I run WTTGP. :) I like to keep some of the forums I'm on updated with things from time to time, so expect these sort of posts occasionally. ;) And yeah, I really can't wait for Environments. I've heard a few sections from their early broadcasts, and the tracks are very abstract, but excellent. |

Do you listen to SAWII much, purlieu? I'm listening at my computer right now, I really love this album :) |
||||||||
|

|

um, yeah great news! ^^ |

fsol shot their bolt about 6 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mm, yeah, SAWII is my second favourite ambient album (behind Lifeforms, of course). Love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Damn...Environments is definitely good news...though I did not quite like Tales of Ephidrina all that much and absolutely hated The Issness. But I love all of FSOL's work till now...and so I'll still believe that something good will come with the Lifeforms era tracks. Thanx for the good news, purl. |

Favourite tracks? (Off lifeforms and SAWII) Mine: Lifeforms: Cascade Dead Skin Cells Eggshell Among Myselves Domain Omnipresence Room 208 Oh yeah. Just a note: I played Lifeforms for my aunt, and she's an underwater photographer. She absolutely loved it, she thought the creativity there was wonderful. She also loved The Isness... SAWII: Cliffs Rhubarb Ropes/Curtains (trk 6) Tree White Blur 1 Blue Calx Z Twig Hexagon Lichen Matchsticks |

Favourites from Lifeforms? Cascade, Ill Flower, Dead Skin Cells, Eggshell, Domain, Vertical Pig, Cerebral, Omnipresence...that's a hard one, though. Favourites from SAWII? Rhubarb, Grass, Blue Calx, Windowsill, Lichen, Matchsticks...and probably some more. I'm not as good at seperating the tracks out on the album as I am with...well, any FSOL release. I know pretty much all of their tracks inside out. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh...yar. I can imagine! :) I really need to boost my Autechre collection though...I only have Peel Sessions 2 and Chiastuc Slide at the moment... Incunubula will be next. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha. Sorry. Disregard this thread. Turns out someone managed to post as Forum Admin on the official site. None of this is true. Bugger. Autechre? Chiastic Slide is the only album I don't have, actually... |

i still havent heard lifeforms or the amorphous adrogynous album, maybe ill start with the environments album. I do have the isness though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was looking forward to this too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think there's gonna be another single - the divinity bit was correct at least |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed, indeed. Divinity is going to be a single, and there will be a FSOL album to follow, with another Amorphous Androgynous album after that. However, Environments isn't being released after all, nor is the FSOL album promised to be 'soon'. |

The Isness was a definate creative step backwards. Too much sitar and awful pointless vocals spoiled what WAS good on it. It cost me £16.99 and after 3 listens I took it back and swopped it for.. wait for it.. Lifeforms (£10.99) Dub Fever (£3.99) Crucial Dub (£3.99) Latter two by King Tubby. Given that the crabby Isness had just over an hour of music for the rip off £16.99 and the other three all last for well over an hour each, I was fucking pleased I did. |
