Re: A few questions/comments
The journey from Dead Cities to Amorphous in easy steps:
Essential Mix 1995*
We Have Explosive EP (particularly Part 3)
From the Archives tracks from the '1997 sessions' (probably mostly recorded in '96 ha) - Sendero Luminoso, A Sweltering Heat, Private Psyche and Inner Life, Exploded Funk, Popadom, Gyrated, Exchanged, plus the Glacier tracks from Environments 2
The last 15 minutes of this 1997 ISDN performance
Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble 1997
Papua New Guinea Translations
The Isness (ideally the Abbey Road / mispress version, which is slightly more electronic)
Alice in Ultraland
By Alice the transformation was complete.
*this Essential Mix was done around the time they started work on Dead Cities, and it's like a continuation of the percussive/jazzy/funky elements of ISDN - Gaz has mentioned since that this show was actually their first interest in psychedelia (The Beatles, The Doors etc. are featured on it) - in a slightly skewed way, Dead Cities can actually be seen as a side-step on the journey from ISDN to Amorphous. Either way, it provides context for their expansion on these influences.
Welcome to the board, anyway!

Re: A few questions/comments
Guess I need to review them again...I bought of few of their AA's and Environment series...thanks for the positive view.
Re: A few questions/comments
There are certainly parts of the fanbase who don't get on with the recent Amorphous stuff at all, particularly some of the guitarry stuff. There are some definite FSOL-like tracks in there - The Wicker Doll, Her Tongue is Like a Jellyfish, High Tide On the Sea of Flesh...
Re: A few questions/comments
Are you guys also involved with sharing music ? I just recently joined up with the Sound Cloud and added FSOL and related shows there.
Hi Ross, I remember your name from the FSOL LIST...good to see you and others here.

I think there's only myself and Pete from the FSOLLIST these days.
In terms of sharing FSOL stuff, it's probably best to double check before posting anything - the band & management read the forum so anything that's legally available is a no-no.

Re: A few questions/comments
Was still on dialup back then - a live set would take me several days on and off before I finally burnt it to CD. It was like the thing had actually arrived by post with how long it took !

Yeah, the Disenchanted FTP was my intro to the FSOL mixes too
I was also on dial-up, but the faculty internet was super fast (well, for 2002) so I was lucky

In 2003 I seem to remember there being a web front end (or mirror maybe) of the video section of the FTP, had just arrived at uni and remember being a very happy bunny at the speeds I got: Got the whole Teachings From The Electronic Brain at top quality whilst out attending a lecture as opposed to waiting days for an hour long mp3 ...Pandemonium wrote:Yeah, the Disenchanted FTP was my intro to the FSOL mixes too
