Hmmm.

Apparently the artwork is still being completed, so it looks like August might still be a bit premature, given that we've had a relatively long lead time on the previous couple of albums. Not entirely sure how legit nanio-tine's info is once more.

Assuming it doesn't already exist, they should rename one of the songs "Loft Insulation" just for the sheer hell of it. Even better, a single: Loft Insulation Paths 1-5.

Maybe that's what the hold up is: Poor Buggy is still scratching his head trying to make some energy saving roll look cool and dynamic.

Seriously though, I hope the camera setup in the pics means they're doing something visual to accompany the album. There's a definite lack of visual material from the boys on fsoldigital. What we have seen on youtube and vimeo proves they're more than capable of it.

I'd say the camera setup either means they're doing a promo video / series OR they're going to broadcast some sort of live transmission. Both please! :D

News!
Environments 5 will be a single album (not a double as rumoured) - probably a vinyl release along with it. Speculated release date: August / September.
Then we start the countdown for Environments 6 (yes, really).


And another snippet "we have an EMS album coming soon - different to EMS:piano"

Is that something they sent you Ross? They're really into the vintage kit aren't they?! Even down to copying the vintage adverts:

Did you add something extra to your post Ross, or was I really that unobservant as I could have sworn only the last sentence was there before?

Environments 6 eh? I wonder if they make it into double figures?! PLUS an EMS album. (Ferrero Rocher style) With this music they are really spoiling us!

That's great!

But why does it say "Environment" instead of the plural "Environments" like before?

Yeah, it's really a problem for us collectors with mild (?!?) OCD cases :)

As we've seen multiple examples (EBS, archive tracks, providing album names instead of tracks for mixes) - FSOL are not big on nitpicking these stuff... Seems like they're just interested in how the sound structures tickles them :)

Arbitrary pluralising / unpluralising seems to be a thing they do - I reckon the album will still say Environments 5, though. Buggy's doing the artwork, after all...

A couple of Facebook snippets from Gaz - first off, Environments 5 is apparently Brian's favourite Environments record so far, secondly someone said they hope there's a new release in the next few months, and Gaz's response was: "too many you'll be complaining !"

Good times ahead!

Gaz is on Facebook now eh? My finger is far from the pulse, Brodie style. All sounds good, hope my taste concurs with Brian's. Bring it on!!!

As tempted as I am, I will not listen to those previews.. gonna wait for proper flac version with the artwork and all so i can space out completely to this :)

BTW, are you "friends" with Gaz on FB? There's no way of following him so I had to send him a friend request.. my name is "Väiski Vemmelsääri" (finnish for Bugs Bunny) btw, so the rest of you, feel free to hit me up if you want to ;)
