FSOL - Image Of The Past
Happily upbeat, jazzy track, while the tracks preceding and following it are much darker and ominous sounding. Interesting contrast, but totally fits in with the rest of the flow of the album.

Re: What are you listening to?
I actually find that track quite dark too - rhythmic but with sinister undertones in the melodies.

One of my favourite producers around at the minute.

Perfume Tree - Flooded
Feeler (1998)
Great album, highly recommended. Pretty unique stuff, but with some influences of Portishead, Massive Attack and perhaps even Faithless.

Re: What are you listening to?

as i work my way through their catalog i guess i'm reaching the dark side of their music
or is it the light side?
i listened to underwater sunlight after that one and was at least partially relieved haha

Re: What are you listening to?
Yeah, Underwater Sunlight is pretty decent, although it's about the only good Haslinger era album, they head very swiftly into fairly horrible background music territory shortly after. The title track to Optical Race could be the theme to some late '80s US quiz show.
Re: What are you listening to?
Optical Race is a horrid tinny sounding album, in fact the only album vaguely listenable for me from that era is the Miracle Mile soundtrack. For my sins I actually saw them live on the Melrose tour at Bradford St. Georges Hall. They pumped so much dry ice into the venue that I only occasionally saw the band (I was on the top tier so I was just staring into fog and listening to what was essentially a facsimile of the album).
There's some occasional gems later on in their career, but I'm inclined to discount the 87 to 97 period almost entirely. After 1990 Jerome Froese is picking the song titles too which adds an extra tinge of horror. Big City Dwarves? Shudder...

Re: What are you listening to?
There are a couple of ok tracks on the first Dream Mixes album... if they'd come out a couple of years before they would have been early '90s dance classics. But yeah, it's a grim period otherwise. I struggle to find anything genuinely worth revisiting even in their more recent stuff, even if it is relatively inoffensive.
