The FSOL Message Board

I was a member of the FSOLLIST discussion email list and the official board that was around for a couple of years... I think I joined the FSOLLIST in 1999 or 2000 when I was still in my teens! Welcome aboard. This place isn't as busy as it used to be but there's still stuff happening and discussion ...

Yeah, as far as I know we’ll still be getting 10. Who knows what’ll happen after that, but as it’s taken seven years from the first two parts of 6 and the final part of 7 to come along I reckon it’ll be a while before the series is finished. If the remaining volumes are trilogies then there’ll be 21...

Brian informs me the actual title is Where All is Ending, even if it’s not on the cover or the Bandcamp page.

Yeah, looks like even the inner artwork of ISDN is referenced there, right down to the layout of the tracklist. A couple of thoughts - no title here, just back to Environment (why?!?). There’s another 'Space of…' title. And ‘I’m Eating Here’ wins the award for least FSOL title ever. Or at least tied...

I asked Brian but he said there are currently no plans to reveal the full tracklist, I'm afraid.

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0076808513_16.jpg Released in 1991, The Pulse EP was Brian Dougans and Gaz Cobain’s first release for Jumpin’ & Pumpin’, a label they would become synonymous with. Showcasing their multi-alias approach, the A side features two slices of epic, rave-friendly techno from...

That's really impressive.

I have a feeling the more electronic psych end of things gets funnelled into FSOL a lot these days, hence stuff like 'Anacro Rhythm' and 'Hopiate'.
Agreed, though, I think Trip Maps is my favourite psych FSOL-related release since The Isness.

To the best of my knowledge it's only available as mp3.

Out now.

sigESANg5 - if you do share your recording, could you possibly edit it so the MM4 section is cut out? The opening 35 minute warmup and closing 20 minute mix are fine but as MM4 is commercially available it's probably better we're not linking to that section of the mix. But a copy of the opening and ...

Trip Maps wasn't played, but here are my thoughts on it... 00:00 Pleasurefields - Hands Of Time (Yage Remix) - previously released on a ludicrously limited 12" test pressing on Touched 11:15 The Family Dog - Traumadol (Deconstructed by Yage) - released on FSOLDigital 14:33 Lokah - ambient track...

OUT NOW.

Also from FSOLDigital: Mind Maps 4, Mind Maps 1 reissue, handful of copies of MM3 and a MM4 t-shirt!

Warm up... Drones, field recordings, samples, female vocals. Recent releases have all been very dense and hectic, I honestly wouldn't mind a new album that sounded more like this. Feels like a while since we've had a more ambient-leaning FSOL record. About 29 minutes there's very radical alt mix of ...

I'll give him a prod, see what he says.

Just announced - a second mix CD will also be available, called Trip Maps (Psychedelic World) - basically a Yage version of the Amorphous sound, chunky psych rock breaks, remixes a la the Mind Maps CD. Will be released at the same time.
