The FSOL Message Board

So why hasn't this been released in mp3 and FLAC alongside vinyl/CD?

Without Brian and Gaz explicitly stating, where do you generally find a lot of this information, Pandemonium?

I know musical taste is a subjective thing, but I know who my money's on when it comes to who thought it was decent or not.

Awesome work Pandemonium. I hope your writing gets added to the main site someday.

I'm not too hot on Your Body Robotc (Part 1) having just listened to it. Orbital (Feeling) is a great track though.

Well, at least they're not working with him any more. Something I think they're really devastated over.

It wouldn't surprise me if the 'team effort' was 10% Noel/90% Gaz/Brian.

I didn't know this was an entire album until today (I'd previously thought it was a small EP). I love the layering and texturing of the instrumentation. It feels like a fusion between Amorphous Androgynous and ISDN-era FSOL in parts. What do you guys think of it? Crow Hushing the Floating Woods is s...

I definitely think the shortform track of Globular works a lot better than the long form one, listening to it in a space it wasn't intended for. 12-15 minutes is about right for it.

Yup. It really is a tale of two decades (and a bit) with FSOL. The website, as a fan, is the best thing that could have happened. I've really enjoyed listening to the ISDN mixes and going 'ah! So that's where X in From the Archives comes from'.

There was an interview with the two people behind Esper where it sounded like them a bit. I'll see if I can find it later.

Okay, it's not a completely crazy theory, but it is based on the mix styles I've noticed FSOL use not only in their own albums, but also in their mixes as well (I've been listening to a lot of them lately). I know the Esper Edition was produced by two people and then produced as a bootleg, so could ...

Great. : D

Well, at least you guys aren't laughing at her. It's either an act, or she's mentally unwell.

So, do you guys think anything will happen this year still with regards to the 20th year anniversary?

Speaking of which, I was surprised that didn't appear in E5. Maybe it'll be in E6, if there is one.
