The FSOL Message Board

For those that liked the 'long-form' fsol tracks (think Environments [1], Globular, those recent Mind Maps preview pre- show mixes) this is definitely worth a listen. Keeps on sounding like it's about to break into mid-90s atmospheric d'n'b but instead goes into lifeform environments: https://enmoss...

Aleksi Perala maybe - https://aleksiperala.bandcamp.com/ (only the 96 albums this decade )

41min 40sec if I've done my maths right .... The only thing I can possibly think of is an audio recording of this ?? (probably not)

Mix is fine, proper ol' skool - love it ! Perhaps even run it through something like https://fuseaudiolabs.de/#/pages/product?id=300811205 or https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/trtascamportaone/ for even more of a 90s pro-sumer vibe

you da best secondthou !

It's curious looking at the release dates for the equipment they were using by 1993. A lot of it was already vintage gear that was 10-20 years old My guess: They were cheap ! At around this time it was approaching peak digital synth use and analogue was seen as old news. It wouldn't be for a few mo...

Murmurations always reminded me of waiting for something to load .... sorta like the ITV Schools clocks:

Album has been described as the best thing the creators of The Future Sound of London and The Amorphous Androgynous have ever done.

By who ... people that have only heard this one album

.....Dark Season.... flipping heck, took me 3 days with that sample going round my head before I could place it !

Fabulous, in this era of churned out AI generated blandness it's great to see the effort put into something so intricate :) Can imagine this being a fast reaction indie game that's somehow a cross between: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7xYInfT7cY&t=520s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRb...

The wonderful War Machines was on last night's Autechre mix - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025lh4
The addition of the slow brass notes from the previous track (deep glens - 6-14) mix amazingly well with it

a.k.a. the 'just give us something .... anything, i don't care if it's any good' era

Have you checked out these two amazing compilations Enofa, both covering 90s Ambient House/Techno: https://music-from-memory.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-dreams-ambient-explorations-in-the-house-techno-age-1993-1997-digital-version https://music-from-memory.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-dreams-ii-ambient...

Enofa is the one making all those incredible videos (that I am very very very behind with, they're still to release Lifeforms from where I've got to )

This is the first proper FSOL EP in a very long time. We've had some digital bonuses, a few remix 12"s and an early Archives best of, but in terms of a bunch of new tracks under the FSOL name, am I right in thinking this is the first since We Have Explosive? Would Gigantic Globular Burst count...
