there are two versions of this album, with different tracks and different versions of the same tracks... first version is: 01.ELYSIAN FEELS 02.THE MELLO HIPPO DISCO SHOW 03.GOODBYE SKY (REPRISE) 04.OSHO 05.THE GALAXIAL PHARMACEUTICAL 06.YES MY BROTHER 07.GO TELL IT TO THE TREES EGGHEAD 08.DIVINITY 09.GURU SONG 10.HER TONGUE IS LIKE A JELLYFISH 11.MEADOWS 12.HIGH TIDE ON THE SEA OF FLESH 13.GOODBYE SKY another version is: 01.THE LOVERS 02.THE ISNESS 03.THE MELLO HIPPO DISCO SHOW 04.GOODBYE SKY (REPRISE) 05.ELYSIAN FEELS 06.GO TELL IT TO THE TREES EGGHEAD 07.DIVINITY 08.GURU SONG 09.OSHO 10.HER TONGUE IS LIKE A JELLYFISH 11.MEADOWS 12.HIGH TIDE ON THE SEA OF FLESH 13.THE GALAXIAL PHARMACEUTICAL according to , the first version is better (ending with 'goodbye sky'), but i wouldn't go with just one advice, besides i would have to order it in import (so more expensive)... do you have any advice on this if you know both versions? |

my college radio station has the 1st version (actually that's a misnomer; there are at least 20 versions, 3 or 4 of which are out there in the public). i think i'll steal it cos 1) i hate the station, and 2) no one would notice its absence. i think the official version is fine how it is, but i am curious to hear the different versions. the version of "mello hippo.." on ross' (webmaster's) version of the album is now on the "mello.." 6-track EP. |

some copies are said to be misprinted too... |

the promo is completely different to the original. also some legit copies were pressed with the promo tracks by accident. also the vinyl tracklisting is different yet again. |

the misprint has 2 mislabeled songs (songs NOT meant for the album, but not labeled as such); it's not the same as the early promo cd which.. fuck, earth already said it. right then. |

I've heard some of this record. I have to say its the worst FSOL I've heard. But I don't want to get into all the reasons 'cause I've been there before on Planet-Mu. |

i agree. i couldn't believe i was listening to FSOL....in fact, i'm still convinced that the album are made by someone else. it's fackin' horrible. |

Then I guess you'll like the rest of the album. |

Thats the big danger with things like this. If your trying to get more fans and sell more records by doing something (potentially more commercial sounding) then you are in danger of losing your core fans. To be honest I really don't know what on earth they were trying to do with this record. Its certainly not my thing. To be honest I like FSOL. I've only got one CD of theirs but they don't seem to be active enough or I'm not aware of them enough for me to say to myself oh right must go out and get the latest FSOL record. Thats said they've got something new on Rephlex which looks interesting. |

I really don't think they made this record to get more fans. |

i wrote a 5 page article on why i like this article, if anyone is REALLY interested in what makes this album great. otherwise, judge by your own ear: if that shit don't knock then what else matters? i like it a lot, but tastes vary. i don't think this was pandering to FSOL fans or to pop fans; this is just what gaz and brian felt like making. keep in mind that it was released under their ALIAS (a.a.) not their main name, so it's not even completely indicative of where their electronic/dance music is headed. do you think they only came up w/ this many songs in the last 6 years? they have a lot more for us, we just have to be patient. right now i rank them: 1. dead cities 2. isdn 2. isness (tied) that's all i own (tho i want the rest). what i've heard from the 3 other full lengths (counting the first a.a.) they seem great as well. but it's so obvious that their music is ever changing, and when they take a 6 year break between albums instead of a 6 month break, you shouldn't expect things to pick up right where they left off. |
