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!
