What can I say?

The stuff they released in the late 80s to mid 90s is seminal, almost in its entirity! Inspirational to me.

Over the years I have come to think of ISDN as my favourite. But Lifeforms and Accelerator are both tremendous.

Come on, you know you love it!

What do ya reckon?

Legends! "Lifeforms" is timeless and Amorphous Androgynous - "Tales of Ephidrena" too. My fave albums from FSOL.

Yeah, know whatcha mean. They were on such a roll in the mid nineties with groundbreaking dubbed out electronic stuff! The newer stuff is decent though.

Dead cities is immense actually. Not sure why I never mentioned it! Antique Toy, and Max ar both tremendous, as are so many other tracks I don't know the name of!

ISDN is ok, but listen to Among Myselves off lifeforms! It has the scariest synth noise ever created a couple of mins in.

Seriously.

Still shit myself.

Biggup the FSOL, they are legendary and got me into jungle-dub-ambient music when I was 12. Check them out at the Kinetica Museum in London:

I stopped rating them when I paid for a ticket to see FSOL and showed up only to find that they were, in fact, in a studio overseas and charging me to watch them IN THE STUDIO.

Proper stupid, IMO. Great tunes though.

So I'm assuming people know about that mental new 3CD release from FSOL, From The Archives 1-3? It's alllll previously unreleased stuff, and bloody choice cuts too, spanning their entire career. Makes y'love 'em all over again

i never stopped loving them......and DEAD CITIES is the leanest meanest FSOL ever! I have ISDN on cd and record and I also have an old lp from like 91 which has dance tunes by all their aliases: YAGE, HUMANOID, STALKER.....bunch of stuff. I will be 85 spliffed in orbit listening to ISDN!

Dead Cities is one of the deepest piecees of music I've heard, in terms of detail and creating spaces in my mind. Incredibly visual too...

I had forgotten about Tales of Ephedrina, I need to see if I still have that somewhere... That's a perfect album for driving in the desert, btw. Didn't know about this Archives thing, hmmmm.

AWESOME.

FSOL are the dons. Their early, ravier stuff is still excellent, and even their dribbly hippie 90s stuff doesn't sound too dated.

Whats happened to them now? That Amorphous Androgynous (???) stuff sounds.... shit.
