09/11/15 - FSOLDigital overhaul, merch and collectables, Life in Moments tracklist
So, to accompany the release of the The Most Important Moments in a Life book, a handful of other bits and bobs have appeared on FSOLDigital. A quick run through of today's releases follows...
The book itself is available signed and not signed. The tracklist for the bonus CD is:
01 – Taken Leave of all Senses
02 – Viewed from Across the Room
03 – I Turn To Face The Sun
04 – Bring
05 – Triospheres
06 – Sea + LSD
07 – Grindatone
08 – A Somnambulant Drift
09 – Talisman
10 – Abandoned Housing Blocks of Prypiat
11 – Falling Upwards Aria
A chance to get six of the bonus tracks from recent FSOLDigital releases in a physical format - particularly exciting as it gives the tremendous 'I Turn to Face the Sun' a proper home at last - plus five completely unheard pieces. Whilst those digital EPs have been nice bonuses, we're happy to be getting some of the best of those tracks together as what looks like it'll be a proper album in its own right. How many other bands sneak out an 11 track album like this as a bonus CD with a book?!
Here's a link to that, anyway.
White label editions - most likely test pressings - of Archive 8 & Environments 1 are now available. These collectors edition vinyls are limited to ten copies, signed by both Gaz and Brian, and come with a standard vinyl edition plus 320kbps mp3 download. Pricey but a fantastic treat for collectors...
The run of cryptic symbols found on Archive 8 and various FSOLDigital videos has now found its way onto a t-shirt, and so has the Herd Killing logo. Only medium and large are currently available, so skinny wretches like myself will have to go without.
There's also a new background on the site, which makes some parts of it unreadable in a slightly different way to before, which is nice.

06/11/15 - Nick McCabe working with Gaz
Gaz today posted a video on his Facebook of ex-Verve guitarist Nick McCabe working on a new FSOL track - with the promise of future work on Amorphous material. You can watch the video here.
06/11/15 - A History of FSOL, Kooks remix, Mushroom 11 new tracks
Or 'News roundup because I'm crap and didn't get around to it before'
Newest, and possibly of most interest, is a forthcoming book entitled The Most Important Moments in a Life - A History of The Future Sound of London. This book, available from FSOLDigital this coming Monday, 9th November 2015, has been described by Gaz as "' a rather sumptuous FSOL scrapbook of sorts ' The Most Important Moments Of A Life ' compiled and collaged from the vaults of old pics , personal notebooks & cuttings of interesting curios and memorabilia filling its 80 ish full colour gloss colour pages ... a feast for the eyes and a very interesting read to boot!"
. The book is coupled with an eleven track CD featuring a range of tracks from well known to alternate mixes and previously unreleased. It all looks like this:
Talking of unreleased FSOL material, the previously announced soundtrack for independent game Mushroom 11 has been expanded, to include four new tracks: 'Wave Stat', 'TX 81z Another Brother', 'The Equevalents' and a string-only version of 'End of the World'. The soundtrack comes as a download with purchases of the game. Try here and here.
Also in indie gaming, our forum resident Pandemonium will be releasing a mobile game in the near future, featuring FSOL's Lizzard Crawl on the soundtrack. Read more about that over on the forum.
Meanwhile, in Amorphous world, the group have a track on the forthcoming remix album by The Kooks. Their fourteen minute Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble remix of 'Murderer' (entitled 'Murdered & Downer') will be on Hello, What's Your Name?, available from 4th December.
