FSOL Rarities

[epitome]

Hi guys,

New here Sorry if this has been covered before, but I did search and couldn't find anything

I'm a pretty new FSOL fan, but currently trying to get hold of anything and everything they've done.

I have all the albums from the 90s (including both versions of ISDN) and all the Environments and Archives series. I have The Pulse EPs compilation and By Any Other Name. I have A Gigantic Globular Burst Of Anti-Static and I have all the singles they released on CD in the 90s.

I know of three tracks from the 90s that I don't have and I don't *think* have been released on any Archives album - I can't remember the names of them off the top of my head though.

As for more recent tracks that aren't on standard editions of their albums, I know of:
Hydromedusa
Abandoned Housing Blocks of Prypiat
Five Six Five (claims it's on Environments II, so is it just a different name?)
The Plough
Desquamation (possibly to appear on a later Environments album?)

I'm considering buying the FSOL Digitial Sampler 2 for Hydromedusa and Desquamation. Is the stuff by the other artsits on there any good?

Are there any other tracks that have been bonus tracks or on compilations etc that I might have missed?

Thanks for your help

Cool, thanks for that, Pandemonium - gonna take me a while to look through all that, but on a quick scan I did notice a track from the 90s that I hadn't heard before called Landmass - just listened on YouTube, sounds good!

I will look through those properly when I have time, but in the meantime, are there any obvious FSOL post-2007 tracks that aren't included on the standard Environments or Archives CDs other than these?
Hydromedusa
Abandoned Housing Blocks of Prypiat
Five Six Five (claims it's on Environments II, so is it just a different name?)
The Plough
Desquamation (possibly to appear on a later Environments album?)

Thanks, that's absolutely amazing, sir!

I will be reading up a lot on here, I got a lot of catching up to do!

Does a shorter/partial version of Five Six Five appear under a different name then?

[Ross]

FiveSixFive has only ever appeared on FSOLDigital Mix. Desquimation is only on FSOLDigital Sampler 2. Hydromedusa, Pypriat and Plough were bonuses for buying from FSOLDigital.

[Ross]

90s stuff worth taking a glance at: Promo 500, Liquid Insects 12", Earthbeat + early alias singles, Semtex 12", ISDN Show, Lifeforms single promo, and various promo tracks and remixes.

By the way, what is the deal with the extrememusic.com stuff? Is it FSOL? Are they free downloads if you sign up to the site? I noticed the Nu Psychedia EP the other day but wasn't exactly sure what it was.

[Ross]

It's library music, so unless you're licensing it out for professional purposes (which is expensive), you can only get it by streaming from the site. They're all FSOL or Amorphous except Live in the Studio which is with other people.

[epitome]

Oh ok, so it isn't a free to sign up and download thing then. I'm listening to Nu Psychedelia now, it sounds pretty cool

[epitome]

Just listened to the 2011 "rebuild" of We Have Explosive - that's amazing. Different enough from the original (and other versions) but still retaining some of the classic sound - love it!

[seedy]

haha epitome is my kind of dude.....a "new fan"....yet ready to get f'n EVERYthing they've done =()
i'm impressed by this shared passion sir!



wow nice list there pande....i didn't even know about those bonus tracks because i've always purchased the CDs
had no clue the fsoldigi samplers had anything extra
have no idea what this "live in the studio - remixed" thing is about? can you provide a bit more info about this? not sure how i missed it

[seedy]

http://www.unippm.co.uk/#/en/album-revi ... Remix.aspx

ok i see it here

when did this get released?

anyone know a link to this for download? i'm assuming it can't be purchased like the extrememusic stuff?

[Ross]

Ah, that second sampler has two tracks from Environments 5 on it! And a new Yage track and a whole host of stuff from unidentified aliases and/or friends of the band. The first has still unreleased FSOL and Amorphous on it.
And you need to buy your CDs from FSOLDigital! Bonus tracks as a thanks for getting them straight from the band.
