Lime Slip - Five minutes of grumbling beats. Sounds like it was more fun to make than to listen to, tbh. I'm sure you know my tastes are wacky but that was actually one of the standouts for me. Like a bouncy ball going on a wacky rampage :D Oddly reminds me of this Ae track for some reason (also vi...

Not a huge fan of the vocals (reminds me of The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio star ) but did like the track otherwise

Really enjoyed my catchup of the Archives series listening to them back to back so must to the same with this series once I've picked up the 2023 one.

Don't think I can spot any Douganness on this one. Think the only 'well known' (obviously a subjective term but you know what I mean ) is possibly Plaid with 'The Land Of Zero's & Ones' track

Vinyl costs (and shipping costs) have become so untenable for me that only in the rarest of the rare occasions (e.g. a nice picture disc) will I order a physical copy of music nowadays (N.B. still buy them - not turned into a nasty pirate, just buy them as digital downloads !)

'Honesty' is the full version of 'LA7' from the early digital release of From the Archives Vol 3 (with all the live watermarks and stuff) .... Weirdly, it turned up on the Dead Cities tour of all place So it is :o - Haven't heard the From The Archives for a while now, definitely need a refresher. I...

I *think* it's the inner sleeve - When the email popped up showing it I first thought that it was the replacement art and the ISDN looking cover had been rethought in the past few days! Has it ever been explained what the symbols refer to (the 5 icons to the right of E7.003) ? They've been using the...

I was looking on there, but the "releases November 1, 2023" bit at the bottom confused me, the little monkeys! Guessing that's when the physical versions are gonna be sent out. Presumably (as is normally the case with Bandcamp) if you buy either the CD or Vinyl you'll get a digital copy i...

Nope, you can grab it right now https://fsol.bandcamp.com/album/environment-7003

Nnniiiceee - Looking forward to it ! Interesting that both the cover art and general design aesthetic is so different from the first two parts - I wonder if the art is temporary or if it's a representation of quite a different direction the last part goes in (not listening to the sampler track until...

How flipping good is the pre-show mix BTW ?! Got real nostalgic vibes of Environments (1)/3D Headspace Tour/We Have Explosive (Part 5) throughout the thing, possibly due to the very slow ambience soundscape that morphed over the half hour. Would love to see (well hear!) Brian do more longform pieces...

Suplurb !

Incredible - Really hope it *doesn't* get taken down !

Apologies, didn't realise how useless the search facility was (what do you mean you're not going to show me the results because 'fsol' is too common a term ?!) - Should be good now (in the process of re-indexing but should be done in the next 10 minutes)

Another great bit of artwork, reminds me of Chris Cunningham's robot-y sculpture being washed away at the end of the video Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel
