Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
I know exactly what you mean
I said I want to make it a ringtone - not I will make it a ring tone...
Hmm... maybe I will make it and just use it for a few days, or until my E5 copy arrives

You're doin' too much, do less.

Apologies to anyone who is trying to avoid listening to previews...
Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
Received a rather amazing birthday present this morning. If I could use two words to describe the album it would be 'epic' and 'intense'. If Translations was a warm-up to ease you in to The Isness, then the previous Environments (partiularly 4) were warm-ups to ease you into this. I'll write some more detail later, but in quick summary: this is a new FSOL record, with emphasis on the new. It definitely doesn't sound like anything they've done before. Lots of analogue synths, lots of real instruments, lots of Dan Pemberton piano, generally lots of 'euphoric sadness'. Incredibly beautiful. Going to take a lot of listens to get my head round it.
Oh and, Bonus EP:
1. Electric Brain Storm (3:40)
2. The Final Inner Breath (5:09)
3. HereAfter (6:11)

Thought they might do that, really looking forward to listening to this, sounds impressive. I'm still trying to minimise the exposure to the previews.
On a different note. I have a different reason to celebrate today, my final day at work here, 9 years, almost a quarter of my life, and not an entirely amicable break, but definitely for the best. A new start on Monday, with a new job and FSOL's new album to go with it.

Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
Oh, congrats on the new job! Glad that's worked out for you
Ok, bit of a rundown of my thoughts on the album...

Cheers, I'll raise a glass tonight and say Ross is still tons younger than me!

Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
Man, I cannot express HOW tempted I'm to listen to those samples..
from the source flows the endless...
Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
Shit, I'll have to wait at least 2 weeks to hear it. Same with SYRO.
Trackdescriptions sound very promising, @Ross: What do the bonus tracks sound like? Do they fit the albums mood in a way? (Oh, and a happy birthday!)

Magnificient Insignificance
Re: Environment FIVE: out 8-Sep-2014
Ha thanks guys.
The bonus tracks are all more 'electronic' and probably less immediate... actually quite struggled with them at first. Need to give them a listen again later.
