The FSOL Message Board

I used to obsess over it quite a bit, and I think that's probably why I stopped. It was so refreshing to listen to music without it becoming a statistic. Oh, a quick MM3 discovery... Bonus 30 minute mix: Something technoey, four-to-the-floor beats. Acid! This has got to be Humanoid. This turned out ...

Can confirm that it's that track, although it's a Yage remix.

Given that that 12" was released by Touched, I'd say that's quite a strong likelihood. Sounds like it's a Humanoid remix, too - returning the favour for the sT8818r remix, maybe.

Soooooo... Mind Maps 4 preview is 7:30 this Friday on the Touched Mixlr , CD to follow at 8:30. I thought I saw something about MM1 being reissued but that seems to have disappeared or I dreamed it. Dunno. Keep your eyes on Bandcamp , either way, this should be a special one. List of artists on the ...

Ah boy, I haven't used last.fm in years. Used to always have it on, but then I'd listen to a CD and wonder whether I should also play it on the computer. And it used to scrobble tracks from my iPod twice. I went scorched earth and deleted all my stats about 12 years ago.

Everything gets posted on the FSOL Facebook and Instagram, there’s an FSOL Facebook group, and you can follow on Bandcamp, which should give you email updates and also in-app updates if you use the Bandcamp app.

Alina Kalancea - Alchemy Yage (FSOL) Remix - second half of this track.

The 1992 PNG 12" is being reissued as a hand-numbered run of 2,000. Otherwise the same art and tracklist as the original. Coming out in September.

As soon as I got the notification I knew what it'd be - given the last two releases, an expanded FSOLDigital version was kind of inevitable. A few thoughts on first listen. 'Identity' is the only new track to feature the polished, housey sound of the EP. The rest is slightly more on the murkier end ...

Once again, we get an expanded album version on download / CD from FSOLDigital:

12 tracks, including 'Orfan Atmos', which is probably another remix of the Built by Humanoid track.

There’s definitely a very 90s feel to a lot of the sounds in there - the clicky beats are very typically modern FSOL/Humanoid, but all those echoey samples could come from ISDN or the darker Dead Cities tour material. It’s a bloody brilliant track and really captures the atmospheric side of FSOL tha...

Looks like it’s this one from May 04: https://fractionaldifference.wordpress.com/2021/11/10/amorphous-androgynous-bbc-6music-sixmix-02-05-04/ Either incorrectly dated or a repeat (this definitely went out in May originally as I was at the Coachella festival when it happened and came back home to fin...

Yeah, that's roughly the date I've been given so I'd guess it's that.

Ha, I started skipping through that to try and find the bit you meant and the first thing I heard was the Humanoid track at 4 minutes! There's definitely an FSOL vibe to those tracks together, that Minced Oath track is like an Electric Brain Storms cut meets Cascade 2020. Might have to give that ful...

Touched by Silence 2, a 4CD compilation on Touched Music, will be out on 30th June. Features an FSOL track among many others.
