FSOL is increasingly becoming Retro Sound of London. There's such a reliance on analogue gear, stuff recorded to tape, worn out/warped looking photography, early electronics etc. these days. Most of the electronic stuff falls very closely to hauntology. Not a criticism, of course, it's just an interesting direction to go in. I like it a lot.Coming from the home of Future Sound of London and credited to their ‘producer’ Yage, Ignition of the sun is a deep and evolving journey through liquid spewing analogue sequences, warm saturated swampy sine waves. It calls back to a time from the early 70s with bands such as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.
All sounds were created and sequenced entirely on the EMS Synthi AKS, multitracked and mixed to 15ips 1/4 Revox tape. The EMS Synthi AKS was first introduced in 1971, one of the earliest Synthesisers available and as used by Radiophonic Workshop, Pink Floyd, Brian Eno.

Mm - would be very surprised if not.Quiller wrote:Probably an homage to the Urs Amman artwork on Schulze's Timewind.
