The FSOL Message Board

Really want the vinyl... trying to justify the spend... tax and shipping always put me off
Should I go for it?

That's really cool.

Salient Moons was initially planned to be an album but never got finished. I love that EP, I’ve already petitioned Brian for a second haha. Other than that Yage EP in 2020 we’ve not actually had a proper alias release in nearly eight years, it’s just been FSOL and Humanoid, hasn’t it? Consider this...

And removing the mysteriously titled 'ext tx' - so I guess that was just a mistake. So it looks like there are no bonus tracks at all. It's just the tracks from the trilogy, with Time Cone somewhat strangely being chopped into two separate tracks? I guess there's no reason to buy, other than for peo...

'Honesty' is the full version of 'LA7' from the early digital release of From the Archives Vol 3. The Nu Generation was obviously on one of the Calendar albums. I think this will go down pretty well - the alias tracks are less like their rave material and closer in style to things like Fuzzy Logic ...

I was looking on there, but the "releases November 1, 2023" bit at the bottom confused me, the little monkeys! Guessing that's when the physical versions are gonna be sent out. Presumably (as is normally the case with Bandcamp) if you buy either the CD or Vinyl you'll get a digital copy i...

Wow, that sounds really promising based on your review Ross! I assume us mere mortals have to wait another week to hear it?

Well, this is exciting news

Sorry if this has already been mentioned - seems slightly odd that Rituals isn't on fsoldigital. I guess Bandcamp is becoming the main platform now?

The ‘bonus tracks’ are basically just an extension to the album that’ll also be on the CD, like the ones on the RSD re-recordings, ie the LP version is actually edited to fit the format rather than the CD/digital has some bonuses. There’ll be no gap or anything. Ahhhh, that's nice to know - so they...

Checking Bone Moor out now, sounds like lovely stuff as usual!

Crumblebuns! I'd completely forgotten about FSOL Calendar albums. I also hadn't full appreciated how far through the year we are until I realised a 4th calendar track should drop any day and so far I haven't got/heard a single one of them!

This is all very exciting, I can't wait to hear Rituals and the bonus tracks. I'll be grabbing the CD as soon as it's available on fsoldigital. I hope the bonus tracks are a separate download, as I don't really like it when bonus tracks are "tacked on" at the end of an album (not a big dea...

The one thing that has been lost, for me, is the excitement of a new album. 2008-2016 was definitely a period when you might get the odd digital side-project thing, as you say, but every new Environments release was really exciting and something I'd look forward to. We'd get rumours, brief updates ...
