The FSOL Message Board

Still on 1993, and a look at some odds and ends, plus the US's two biggest ambient labels of the decade.

Cheers, hope you enjoy! The episodes are -mostly- shorter than the FSOL ones.

Here's this week's volume, covering Apollo, Warp's Artificial Intelligence releases and a few other early IDM things, and Recycle or Die.

Yeah, the only time these are being remastered is when there's new material, as it effectively has to be given a new master to be cut for vinyl anyway.

Bloody hell, an actual Future Sound of London release at last (first time in four videos!)

Cheers dude, hope you’re well!

Lots and lots of Namlook today!

Cheers Pete!

So this is obviously an area of music that will be of interest to people here - those of us who are still around! - so I thought I'd just pop a thread in for my YouTube series where I'm exploring the era of music that started with The Orb and The KLF in the late '80s and kind of petered out around 1...

Kiss Test Transmissions 1 & 2, Peel Session, Metropolis and 1992 remixes.

Bit of an exclusive - the last track on Kiss Test Transmission 1 is an unreleased FSOL piece called Bug Fat Main.
