Re: FSOLDigital Calendar

New track, 'Remote Decay' available today. I think this will be an album highlight come December.

Re: Pulse Five out January 26th on Detuned

The full album is up on bandcamp now. I couldn't wait for the vinyl to arrive. Some great tracks and some that I imagine would mostly appeal to nostalgists of early 90s techno/rave.

Re: FSOLDigital Calendar

I really enjoyed the last couple of calendar albums, the recent ones have been a more coherent listen. The 2022 release was a real grower with 'Deconstructed Room' and 'Fluid Motion' being personal favourites. I might like this one even more and think that it works well as a companion to the E7 albu...

Re: Pulse Five out January 26th on Detuned

Vinyl costs (and shipping costs) have become so untenable for me that only in the rarest of the rare occasions (e.g. a nice picture disc) will I order a physical copy of music nowadays (N.B. still buy them - not turned into a nasty pirate, just buy them as digital downloads !) Same as me for the mo...

Re: Pulse Five out January 26th on Detuned

The shipping to Canada cost as much as the vinyl itself, but this is still my first vinyl purchase by FSOL in 30 years.

Re: Record Store Day 2023 - Tales of Ephidrina and Life in Moments expanded reissues

Will it be possible to buy the new tracks individually from Bandcamp?

Re: FSOLDigital Calendar

I didn't think there were too many standouts from last year's calendar when the tracks were released but it works much better when listening to it as an album. Probably now my most listened to of the calendar albums so will be disappointed if we don't get another. Ross, do you know what's coming out...

Re: Rituals: e7.001 (Environment 7) out April 2022

I struggled to get into this one but kept persisting and realized that the issue for me was that the first 3 tracks just didn't click. This is surprising as I was expecting to love Hopiate given the response to it by other people on the forum. Just goes to show that even if you don't like one of the...

Re: Rituals: e7.001 (Environment 7) out April 2022

Interesting that digital and CD are the same cost. I usually get the digital because of the shipping costs to Canada but looks like I will be getting a shiny new CD this time. Wonder if the cost will be the same on FSOLDigital.

Re: Fractional Difference - Exploring FSOL song-by-song

This was a great read Ross. The most interesting bit for me was the progression through the early radio shows into the ISDN shows. It was quite difficult to follow along with these in the 90s so I only really managed to catch the ones that were on the BBC and never revisited in the later years when ...

Re: Fractional Difference - Exploring FSOL song-by-song

Really loved this one and regret not picking up the vinyl at the time. I preferred Environmental to Environments 6 and 6.5, which I thought would have been better as a single album. I saw Archived as a 'From the Archives' best of and a a great entry point for anyone that hadn't kept up with the Arch...

Re: Fractional Difference - Exploring FSOL song-by-song

https://fractionaldifference.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/vpro.jpg ISDN VPRO Radio (09/09/94) [/quote] I was listening to this and noticed that the environment at 1:46:20 sounds like a slowed down version of "Sly" by Massive Attack. Not sure if the FSOL remix of this track ever saw the lig...

The Nu:Tone remix was a good one.

Re: Fractional Difference - Exploring FSOL song-by-song

My first introduction to FSOL, as I imagine is the case for a lot of FSOL fans. I remember hearing it on Mark Goodier's Radio 1 Evening Session and being blown away by it. I also remember that questionable TOTPs appearance and the Future Shock video tape. I think the Apex Twin's Ageispolis video is ...

AA in the NME

Fairly brief interview in the NME promoting 'We Persuade Ourselves...'. Still tinkering with the Noel Gallagher album apparently.
