Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

I really like the five symbols. I don't think they have any real meaning, they were gradually developed over the course of the FSOLDigital era. I think the Herd Killing one dates back to the Dead Cities book. They've gone for having little symbols in the past, the J&P era had the Freeky Deek one...

Oh yeah, the cover is used on the various online stores that have the album up for preorder.

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Ok, this might be the silliest of questions, but for an OCD like me it's quite fundamental for right tagging on last.fm: What's the name of this album? Is it Environment 7.003 or Where All Is Ending 7.003 (similarly to the other two 7.00x albums)? Brian told me it's Where All is Ending E7.003 but t...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Future Testaments - Pure ISDN, chunky live drums and bass guitar, muted trumpet. Layers of weird noises swirling around. 303 comes in at the end. Resting Point - Rain, birds, wordless male voice, warm drone - organ and reversed guitars? Suits the title perfectly an a nice breather after an intense ...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

I was thinking about the comparison to pre-Dead Cities material and wondered if that means more sample-based. I’d be curious to hear new FSOL with ‘90s style sampling - I can’t think of any new works with prominent use of samples since The Woodlands of Old.

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Going deeper and darker than the previous two albums, the flavour here harping back with memories of the groups 90s sounding pre “Dead Cities” album. On this release they have swamp laden electronics dripping from cavernous breakbeats weaving in and out of otherworldly chords and strings firmly bac...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Given that we've had the other three Virgin albums in recent years, I think an ISDN re-press is almost a certainty - that's a very interesting point, though. I wonder if this art was made at the same time the ISDN art was being dug out and sent over. No real improvement in my symptoms, sadly. Just m...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

I was a member of the FSOLLIST discussion email list and the official board that was around for a couple of years... I think I joined the FSOLLIST in 1999 or 2000 when I was still in my teens! Welcome aboard. This place isn't as busy as it used to be but there's still stuff happening and discussion ...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Yeah, as far as I know we’ll still be getting 10. Who knows what’ll happen after that, but as it’s taken seven years from the first two parts of 6 and the final part of 7 to come along I reckon it’ll be a while before the series is finished. If the remaining volumes are trilogies then there’ll be 21...

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Brian informs me the actual title is Where All is Ending, even if it’s not on the cover or the Bandcamp page.

Re: Environment 7.003 out November 1st

Yeah, looks like even the inner artwork of ISDN is referenced there, right down to the layout of the tracklist. A couple of thoughts - no title here, just back to Environment (why?!?). There’s another 'Space of…' title. And ‘I’m Eating Here’ wins the award for least FSOL title ever. Or at least tied...

Re: Mind Maps 4

I asked Brian but he said there are currently no plans to reveal the full tracklist, I'm afraid.
