The FSOL Message Board

I only use their bandcamp store now.
Ditto, as soon as it was available :D

@Fredsawred - even though you didn't buy it from here it might be best to contact them through their bandcamp page - https://fsol.bandcamp.com/ (on the far right of the web page under the logo there's a link titled ...

Cubik always put me on edge as a kid - was too dark and 'in your face'

just had to come here to say this: at 3.33 in 'the Exhibition Hall' suddenly the music cuts out and there's a 6-second long sinusoidal beep that can scare the shit out of anyone chilling out to this. I think it's purposeful and quite cruel TBH, a sick joke. I just opened my copy in Audacity and ...

Hmmm tricky to tell if it's CGI (and created with something like Terragen), a photo with a very tweaked field of view and edge-sharpened and recoloured, an AI creation, or quite what

I can imagine what has put a lot of people off using the platform (hence lower play count) is Soundcloud's decision to require sign-up/sign-in to listen to anything on there. Thankfully embeds still don't need sign-in but the site itself is ..... "GIVE US YOUR CREDENTIALS!"

Another 100 copies of the alternate/promo Mind Maps 6 available:

Wait ... the what with the who now ?! I was just asking whether you had actual background knowledge about of this mystical 3d/holographic printing process, or if ChatGPT just made it all up

Curious to know how long this series would be if played back-to-back ... 50 hours maybe ?
Absolutely incredible dedication ! I wish I had this much focus on .... well anything !

I think the depth is a result of this 3D rendering process. Because the light and shadows were calculated by the SGI hardware to mimic physical volume, the resulting digital file carries a dimensionality that is characteristic of that specific 1991–1994 production window

Think the two are ...

Agreed - I definitely disagree with the below, I'd say there still is quite a sonic margin between the 2 aliases (aliai ?) of FSOL and Humanoid


fsol has finally become humanoid after many years heading in that direction. its not bad but its so far away from fsol that i really dont recognise what ...

To celebrate I've just bought the 2025 calendar album ..... (yeah sorry I'm a bit behind )

Ah thankyou - I was wondering where I'd heard it before !

Ironically the remix sounds like a Chemical Brothers remix (circa Loops of Fury era)

Enofa - Do you think Brian would ever consider actually making these as sound installations in a specifically curated environment ? Just imagining these playing in a vast dark room with the sounds completely surrounding you - like a virtual reality world but in just sound ! Even something like when ...
