Yeah, 2017 feels like a bit of a turning point, maybe the point where things began to get overwhelming, so it'll be nice to have a listen to some of these records again as I work through them.
It's interesting to see my YouTube stats for all this - the '90s ones all have between 500 and 6,000 views, but for a while now I've been hovering around the 100-200 mark (my last video to cross the 200 views mark was Environment Five, nearly three months ago). I know time will add to those, and a Covid-related break this summer probably damaged my algorithm visibility, but it is a bit of a shame to see things drop so much. One of the things I was hoping to do with the series was get more people onboard with the complex world of the last decade of FSOLDigital, but it seems like there's just far less interest still.

Re: Fractional Difference - Exploring FSOL song-by-song
Please keep them coming, I have found them fascinating.
I lost track of FSOL post Dead Cities and whilst I was fortunate enough to see the ISDN broadcast at Stanmer Park in '97, I had know idea of the rest of the broadcasts.
Didn't even know about the Mind Maps stuff until MM3. So I have/had loads of gaps in my library and knowledge and your videos are filling in missing areas and just a great watch.

Starting up 2019.
I'd kind of forgotten what a weird era this was, the number of releases began to expand, but it was such a long gap between conventional albums. It's the period I began to actually lose track of FSOL and how things were developing.

I just wanted to thank you for all your work, and at the same time try to explain why I don't listen to your podcast (or whatever it is).
I am a great fan of your blog, which is my primary source of knowledge of FSOL-related material. I have a really quick reading (in my primary language, which is Italian, and a little less quick in English). The point is: if I can read a text, or if I can listen to the reading of that test, I will always to the first thing, because it takes half the time, sometimes even less. So, I read a lot, but I never ever listen to podcast, oral explanations, etc. As far as I know, the content of your videos is quite the same of your blog, so I keep on reading the blog but not listening to your videos.
There is another reason, which is: i tend to listen to music as much as I can, even while reading (it does not distract me at all) but of course I cannot do it if I'm listening to a podcast (I could not focus on either thing).
So, that's why: I appreciate your work a lot, but I prefer to read it rather then to listen to it.
Anyway, thanks for everything!

Hey, no problem! There are a few additions here and there, but yes, the content is currently about 95% the same as the blog.
I don't even have access to the blog anymore, none of my email addresses seem to work, so once I get to 2022 it'll probably just be video-only now though!

HI, absolutely loving this series! was laboring under the naive illusion that I was a pretty big FSOL fan until I stumbled onto the Youtube Channel.
It's been a real eye opener, especially in the post 2005 years, I moved stateside for 6 years and kind of fell out of the loop.
Thank you for the incredible amount of hard work!
I'm curious where to hear the full version of the Enofa remix of The World is full of Plankton that was used as the intro and outro music for a few episodes starting around the chapter 24 mark.
Is this available to hear anywhere??
