Yay, I finally found me a copy
(not that I'd been looking particularly hard - just saw it on the shop shelf and thought 'I'm having that' !)

Oh, the exclusive mix on that is fantastic.

I'd love to hear these, but sadly someone somewhere else in the library is downloading from the same filesharing site. Sigh.

On the contrary, I'd say the amount of untitled material suggests Environments isn't as near completion as we'd imagined...

Some estimated points of tracks, then: Yage - Slugs Trail at 2.07 EMS+Piano Untitled 5 at 6 minutes Environments 4 from around 8 minutes - quite abstract, some Environments 1 samples in there Park is the spoken/percussive track at 9 minutes, I wonder who this is Broadcast of Variants will be that tr...

This isn't complete, but my gosh look how much Environments 4 is in there! INTRO ......... YAGE - SLUGS TRAIL SEAFAR - DRIFT EMS + PIANO - UNTITLED 5 FSOL - FROM ENVIRONMENTS 4 UNTITLED PARK - PLAUSIBLE PLAN **************** BROADCAST OF VARIANTS - CAROUSEL FSOL - FROM ENVIRONMENTS 4 ************* T...

Ah, you haven't found them then? I think I misread something that suggested you'd found them. From that clip above, I'd suggest the Broadcast of Variants track is the one that's around 12/13 minutes, although I can't work out whether it starts at 12.25 or if it's much earlier than that too. Damn you...

Maybe we'll get "the Amorphous Androgynous - Cosmic space music" on the next MPB podcast instead. What are the exact timings for Seafar and Broadcast of Variants (the former's been taken off Soundcloud, probably with the release deadline approaching), might as well get three tracks noted d...

Thoughts I had whilst listening... 08:45 A little snippet of Environments 1 in there. 15:40 I hope this is Environments 4 material! 18:30 Are these the birds from Cirrus Minor by Pink Floyd? 26:30 As 15:40. 29:00 The music on this mix is really fucking good. I want half of this to be Environments 4!...

The Trees - An extract from "Views" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Yc_gvYir0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Available on EBS7. Er... no idea. My guess would be The Trees is the name of the video, the music is an extract from a FSOL track called Views. Maybe rela...

Very much looking forward to giving this a spin when I get home.

More vague interview questions: From Rolling Stone . How is your next record coming along with Amorphous Androgynous? Yeah, we could put it out tomorrow. We’re just fiddling with the mixes. You know, psychedelic pop record. Not electronic. If you actually like psychedelic music, you’ll love it, you ...

Very few things make me smile more than a sarcastic Manc's take on Gaz and Brian in the studio.

Ross Baker eh? Intrigued.

I'll download this and give it a run through later.

I still find it baffling they haven't, erm, made the most of the fame attached to them through the MPB CDs/Noel Gallagher/Paul Weller by releasing a new album, given that there's so much material lying around!

Oh, fantastic, downloading this now! Looking forward to hearing it.
