The FSOL Message Board

Ross - interesting approach to focus on one album all week, then move to the other one. I couldn't do that! I commend your will power.

The Future Sound came through my letter box today. Just listened to Environment Six, and immediate first pass impression (typing whilst on last track) is that it is a luscious soundscape closer to the perceived concept of an environment than any preceding album in the series since the very first Env...

My copies haven't arrived yet and I am dying while being held reading all your comments. I am however totally hyped and been on FSOL playback only lockdown all week, so enjoying plenty of stuff.

Brilliant. Bring it on!

I am amused it is listed (erroneously I am sure) as Transmitter by Blackhill!

Like the sleeve. Ready to buy!

I'd buy the vinyl. Especially for this latest one, which is really rather good.

Interestingly what do people call these EPs? I notice the new one is Four.

Others were EP, 2nd and 3

...typical FSOL!

I had called them EP1, EP2 and EP3...but feel I ought to adopt the official nomenclature. But that's a fight between purism and OCD!!!

Oh good! Look forward to downloading that when I get. Volumes 1-3 are my perfect downtime listens.

I too have finally got this. Not to be unexpected, but I am totally into this; excellent! Never ceases to amaze me how prolific FSOL have been, even if this is reworked from the archives; sorry un-archived

Just love that last track especially. Oh and the first...etc

Just what the Doctor ordered!

Any inside news on Environments 6? We saw the sleeve in the Artworks book, so I was hoping it would be sometime in 2015.

Environment Five is my favourite, and consistently so nearly a year on. Musically it is a grandee I feel.

Followed in order by: Environments 3, Environments 2, Environments 4 and Environments

"I don't remember what happened to me...."

You should add the Far out Son of Lung and the Ramblings of a Madman to your future single spending spree. Different but cool versions of the ISDN tracks. I love this single as I only bought the original limited edition ISDN back in the day and so never had the track Snake Hips which is ace....and l...

Ross wrote:Before reading interviews and web stuff, I also assumed there were more than just the two of them - especially with all the mad credits on Dead Cities, the stories in the ISDN book and so on.

Yeah all that Dead Cities stuff had me going!

Well looks like I need to buy this Yage album pronto.....

I wonder what that girl looks like now 20 years on?
