The FSOL Message Board

Very enjoyable first listen, and thanks to Ross for his comments to glance at while listening. I like the way it refers to the sound of Lifeforms, ISDN and Dead Cities without being derivative.

A mildly obscure one that has come up on my radar as result of an old RSS feed I set up about ten years ago. I don't think it's been mentioned elsewhere, I don't quite have the time I used to to check these things. A forthcoming (April 30th) anthology of the Music of guitarist Ray Fenwick is to incl...

I agree, on the whole it sounds pretty good, but there's a few alarming bum notes. The track Dominion in particular is very prominently off key as the music comes in, but otherwise is pretty close to the released version. Some bits do sound like they are identical to Logos, or have bits that have be...

I'm gradually working my way through the Pilots box now. Unsurprisingly, Logos appears to have been largely a studio album after all, though that doesn't detract from the sheer beauty of the real Dominion Concert recording. It's a little odd that they have just split the main bulk of the concert int...

I see there's another Tangerine Dream box coming out, the follow up to last year's mind blowing "In Search Of Hades" to cover the rest of the Virgin Years. Not so many extras to the next month's "Pilots of Purple Twilight" but with the extras they are providing, they really are s...

Cool! Always loved their "coming soon" messages.

I'd say it's encouraging what Universal have done recently with Tangerine Dream's back catalogue, the full bells and whistles boxed set treatment with stuff the band surely didn't even know still existed. The fact that that seems to have sold well will be encouraging for the prospect of other bands ...

Well, my copy arrived today, so hopefully you both got yours too :) It will be nice to finally* hear this! * a whole 6 days after it was released :P Yep, mine was waiting for me at home last night. What I've heard of it so far is very impressive, it does have that pre-Isness feel about it, a touch ...

I'm still waiting to get my copy as well, it's reassuring I'm not the only one. My finger was far from the pulse when it came to noticing they'd put it up on fsoldigital. I guess it makes the anticipation greater, sounds like it's a goodun!

I have to say I've really been enjoying this album so far, it seems generally a bit of a departure for them: It has generally much more of a squelchy 80s synthy feel for me and a full overall sound. This is in no way a bad thing. I did chuckle when it came to listening to the bonus EP thing and had ...

...and that's a very nice looking t-shirt.

The MPB 8 on there seems to have some of it chopped off, not sure what exactly but it was about an hour and a half long and this is about an hour and a quarter. The recognised tracks like the Monkees one are out timewise from what you put below Ross so I can only assume something got chopped near th...

Excellent. I still haven't got round to reading the first one, maybe I need to get it read before the next one comes out.

This all sounds pretty exciting, and lovely looking cover art too. The thing that surprises me about this is that although Gaz said in an interview a few years back that they'd redone the track Lifeforms again. I assumed that that never saw the light of day due to some sort of licensing black hole i...

I'll look forward to listening to it, I'm intrigued. By the way, anyone else here ordered just the music version and, well, received more than, er, expected?
