The FSOL Message Board

Few more tracks in the opening post now.

Didn't seem to be a suitable thread for this, so I thought I'd start one. I know not all of you have FB, or have the time to scour Gaz's comments threads for nuggets, so I thought I'd throw the interesting ones in over here. I'll throw in any interesting snippets from conversations with Brian should...

Nothing from the reworked singles has been released elsewhere. A:E:V is a very frustrating record because, as you say, the 1st and 3rd LPs contain a lot of already released material, but also a lot of exceptionally great material that's only available there. A lot of people think the 'Views' disc is...

Two Calendar tracks ended up on Archived 9 - the rest are all exclusives.

FSOL Bandcamp is now up. https://fsol.bandcamp.com/ It has the bulk of the FSOLDigital era material up. At time of writing, the following are missing: FSOL - A Gigantic Globular Burst of Anti-Static FSOL - Archives 1-3 (Enhanced Versions) Part-Sub-Merged - Four Forests Polemical - Hand Made Devices ...

Link in the email won't work for me, but I grabbed it through my FSOLDigital account. Nice track, very moody, reminds me a lot of the first ACV.

My CDs came this morning. The main album works a lot better when approached as a single 40 minute piece rather than six individual tracks. Just putting it on and letting it play works much better than looking at which track I'm on and trying to analyse it like that. Would still like some more electr...

Yeah, there's a really lovely balance between abstract sound design & rhythm/melody, acoustic & electronic. Wonderful stuff.

The official release date for the CDs is technically tomorrow, I think they're shipping from FSOLDigital as of yesterday.

I depends on how different you want tracks to be; obviously there are songs on the Archives, first three Environments, The Peppermint Tree, The Cartel, Earthbeat which are all alternate versions of others. Length-wise, I'm not a big fan of anything that runs less than 30 minutes, but most of FSOL's ...

To be fair, the idea of electronic musicians having a standalone 'studio' has been a bit of a weird idea for a while now. For better or worse.

I'd imagine it was the phone at Earthbeat. Makes you wonder if they actually ever answered the thing!

Immortal is back, now with only a few previewable tracks.

Apparently both will continue running. I suppose they'll be able to see over time which is more popular and if it's worth continuing to host the FSOLDigital site. Time will tell.

We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal . It's been five years since we first heard a snippet of this. I'm not sure what my expectations of it are/were anymore. Probably doesn't help that we've heard the bulk of the song from Facebook videos anyway. It is a tremendous song, although I'm not convinced...
