The FSOL Message Board

1990, plus some addenda and corrections from Brian about the Humanoid videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWVgH7qqPFw Adding in the quotes was quite simple actually, and pushed me to start being a little more creative with the visuals in these, so there are a few more layers going on in places, ...

Floor Products was their cassette label at the time, Twitch was the alias and Bacteria the title.

Quotes… yeah, that’s actually quite a good idea, I’ll have a look at doing that, cheers!

Before we get to episode three, here's a cover for Bacteria From a Baboon's Stomach, something I never thought we'd see.

As per the title

Humanoid back in IDM mode again.

And as with everyone else, I always want to reply to that with "no, but my voice is really annoying" haha. I'm glad I come across well, anyway, that makes this whole thing a lot easier!

Episode 2 covers the remaining parts of the Humanoid saga:

You shouldn’t even be able to - they don’t have the rights to sell digital versions of the Virgin catalogue.

Checking the official charts page, ISDN reached number 13 in the dance album charts last week. Rituals and Life in Moments have also charted in the past, obviously also via RSD. Makes you wonder how well their other records would chart if FSOLDigital could report to the official charts company.

For those who stream, ISDN is available now. The tracks are wrongly labelled, of course (black as 1-15 with Kai, Amoeba and Snake Hips listed at the end, even though it plays correctly) because it wouldn’t be an FSOL release without at least one fuckup.

Thank you - no, this is the first time I’ve done anything of the mind outside of hosting a bit of online radio. I can’t hear anything but how annoying I find my own voice haha. Sadly my long covid means I can’t talk for all that long - I did a couple of these in one go and had such a sore throat I c...

Started a YouTube series of this, called it Earth Beat Visions as that seems a little less vague than Fractional Difference. Some, like this, will be fairly straight readings of the blog, others will have new bits and bobs in them.

Been giving the 2023 album a proper listen lately, really enjoying this one. Nice amount of acoustic percussion and field recordings in there which is always up my street. Vertical Reflections has to be a dead cert for the next Music from Calendars comp if one comes along.

I'm guessing that the decision to add new/different material, or else putting it together differently, is what is impacting the decision to remaster or not. With both Tales and ISDN, there have been changes made (Tales adding the additional material, ISDN putting the material together differently t...

It’s been remastered for digital/CD and vinyl, I think by Matt Colton again who did a good job on Tales last year.
