The FSOL Message Board

After some deliberation I've decided to list this for sale on EBay. I brought it from fsoldigital at the time they released the book. They also had some signed test pressings for Environments and one of the Archives series. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225194096832 If it sells then I plan to put the m...

That said, I think 4 and 5 hold together brilliantly and sit comfortably alongside their best works; 6 is, for me, one of their most consistent albums, mood-wise, but it lacks the big memorable epics a la Eggshell / Dirty Shadows / My Kingdom / Hollow Earth / Factories and Assembly / etc. that just...

From Ross’ list, this is how I’d rate them: ISDN (Black) Lifeforms The Isness Tales of Ephidrina Dead Cities The Peppermint Tree Accelerator Environment Five Environments 4 Alice in Ultraland Environments II Environments Archived : Environmental : Views Environments 3 Environment Six Life in Moments...

In 1973 Steve Rutt, Bill and Louise Etra developed a "scan processor" that was utilised in video productions by Nam June Paik, Steina and Woody Vasulka as well as Gary Hill. 56 With the "Rutt/Etra Scan Processor" signals of a black-and-white monitor can be modified. The signals a...

Not directly FSOL related but may be of interest to some on here. I was browsing through this history of computer based art: http://iasl.uni-muenchen.de/links/GCA-IV.1e.html The first version of the Paik/Abe video synthesizer from 1970 (see chap.

Yeah, I was going to suggest a one off update for RSD

Also getting a vinyl release? Not that I just spend all day looking on Amazon ;) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ignition-Sun-VINYL-Synthi/dp/B01E08KEFS/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1460737069&sr=8-16&keywords=fsol Also a bit random this one but I didn't realise where the title of this track came fro...

Looks like there's a vinyl of Blackhill Transmitter coming too.....

aha, I missed that one

only vaguely FSOL related, but I was surprised when I read Burroughs' Yage Letters for the first time last week - I didn't realise that Brujo meant witchdoctor/shaman "yage has no power unless the Brujo performs the appropriate ceremonies. He said all this as if repeating a lesson he had learne...

Saw him live once and you could tell he was happy to be there playing the music.

Looks nice in gatefold! Read the review in April's MOJO (4/5), but it doesn't really give much away. A few other good bits in there like the Edgar Froese obituary where they mention that a disgruntled fan at one gig threw a bag of marmalade at his keyboards "rendering them inoperable" - el...

I think there's a clue on that cover Richey Edwards, Noel Gallagher, PJ Harvey - has music not moved on since 1995? I'm not sure it has for Mr Gallagher (or his fans)
