The FSOL Message Board

Gaz was in bands before FSOL, playing stringed instruments. I think the post-Dead.Cities era saw him returning to playing guitar rather.than learning it... I always assumed it was Gaz in that video, they did that Bacteria from a Baboons Stomach thing on their tape label pre-Stakker and he helped on ...

I think the fact the tracks are difficult to identify is one of the reasons it's so enjoyable, as it's not as tempting to sit and play spot the era like it was with volumes 1 - 3 especially.

To be honest, the only ones I can get an era from have either been identified, or I guessed at in my post. I would guess that most of the piano was added recently by Dan Pemberton, though, as he's mentioned in the credits.

I'm going to take a guess from 'Lost in the Mists of Time' that the archives are now including outtakes from the Environments series. I'd even go so far as to say that if this was released as an Environments album, nobody would question it. Lost in the Mists of time is incredible. The next run of tr...

Actually, one of the reasons I buy instead of pirating is to limit how much music I have. Music is much easier to enjoy when it's not in competition with the other twenty albums I downloaded at the same time. There are only so many hours in the day...

One thing I dislike about the anti-piracy argument is the idea that everyone downloading would be buying. That post on the last page talking about how much money was lost through the 1000+ downloads - I wonder how many of those people would have definitely gone out and bought it if they hadn't had t...

It appeared on various sites a few hours after it was made available from FSOLDigital. Typical, really.

I am hoping mine will be waiting on my doorstep when I get back home this evening.

There are three more samples on Brian's YouTube now. Someone not on their phone will be able to embed them I'm sure...

Wow, this video's from 13 months ago. I wonder how much of the music will be from Environments.

I wonder why they've changed the title of Tudor Oak.

Hold on, it's out already?

We've been debating this but nobody's turned up anything yet...

Those who are on the mailing list will have received an email promoting this, which also reveals, staggeringly, that Walls of Thought was recorded in 1991.

Yes, that's completely fair, it's just best to understand what he's criticising before letting it get to you. Also, it's probably important to remember that in this whole thing, we're discussing music we haven't even heard...

"if I ruled the world, I'd ban beards" or something like that.
