I'm going through their various singles and EPs in my collection right now having a grand old time. These dudes really opened the doors of my musical taste expansion starting around 10 +/- ...
I never checked out Alice in Ultraland because I was so disappointed by The Isness but maybe my anger has subsided. It also appears they have released a digital-only album this year, need to Google...

I listened to them a lot back in their heyday, when I was first getting into electronic music (Autechre ended up being a bigger influence on me personally, ... ISDN is a personal favorite. I remember looking at a photo of their studio set-up in some magazine when I was younger and being blown away by how much gear they had. But yeah, I just wish they would do something coherent nowadays, and I think this is the general consensus among fans.]]> The Future Sound of London http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=178&Focus=5015#Comment_5015 2007-12-05T20:36:37-08:00 2013-06-18T17:19:52-07:00 TacoHugsPHD http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=515 The Enviorments album on fsoldigital (and bleep too i belive) is super awesome.

Not heard of them, fella. Any recommendations? Lifeforms is my personal favourite, the double-CD, not the remix (although that is amazing as well, just ended out in the living room). Dead Cities is nearly as good, the album of choice by at least one fan I know.
ARES, you didn't like The Isness? ::cries::
I tried it several times when it came out, gave up for years, re-tried not long ago, and... ugh. I just cannot get into it other than a select few songs. It's like Ulver - Blood Inside: I hear what could be genius, but it just falls flat to me. Someday perhaps.
The Enviorments album on fsoldigital (and bleep too i belive) is super awesome. It's some of the best moments of the FSOL ISDN dates boiled down in a thick viscous ambient gel full of vibrating booty molecules.
Sounds killer, was going to check out anyway, but now definitely so. :)]]> The Future Sound of London http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=178&Focus=5092#Comment_5092 2007-12-05T23:28:58-08:00 2013-06-18T17:19:52-07:00 TacoHugsPHD http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=515 The Isness convinced me any money I give FSOL will be transmuted into velvet frocks and more hippy dippy nose flutes. Every time I buy a FSOL album on bleep I cry inside.

Some of the stuff in it is so Cockeney Rebelish. I really love this album.
