20/11/20 - Immortal releases no longer on Bandcamp.

As per the title. No idea.

20/11/20 - Amorphous Bandcamp and Found Sound 2

The Amorphous Androgynous Bandcamp is now active! The site only features digital releases at the moment, although physical stock will be added in the next few days. The material present is a fairly comprehensive range covering the majority of this century's Amorphous releases (other than the Monstrous Bubble compliations, of course), including Alice in Ultraland, which is back under the band's ownership once again, and the 'Divinity' single, which gets its first non-promo release here. There are, however, a few omissions, listed below:

The Isness is the Abbey Road Version, which Gaz has gone on record to state is his favourite of the two. This does mean there's no presence of The Lovers or The Isness on the Bandcamp, as well as the 'final' mixes of Elysian Feels, Mello Hippo, Guru Song, Galaxial, Egghead and Divinity - and, as it's the 2018 Abbey Road cut, the original versions of Her Tongue and Meadows. It also means The Otherness repeats two tracks from the original album.
The Peppermint Tree doesn't include bonus track An Absurd Consequence of Living in Absurd Times (or it's a hidden bonus track maybe?).
The Cartel Remixes is the digital edition rather than vinyl edition, meaning those vinyl-only remixes are still vinyl-only.
Promo-only edits and mixes of Mello Hippo and The Witchfinder, last year's two calendar tracks, and their Oasis and Beatles covers are also not present.

Still, minor niggles aside, it's great to see them embracing the site, and bringing the bulk of the catalogue together in an easily accessible manner. The FSOL page is currently expected to open next week.

In more electronic news, Touched Music's Found Sound 2 compilation will be released on 27th November, and, according to the Facebook announcement, is due to feature a FSOL's 'Night Scape' (previously heard on Touched 3) alongside the previously announced Humanoid piece.

16/11/20 - New tracks on Alan Dougans Mix

Alan Dougans - Brian's brother, frequent photography contributor to FSOLDigital releases, and occasional remixer of Humanoid as part of DXU:555 - has created a new mix entitled And Once Again, I Can Flow. Excitingly, it features three unreleased FSOL tracks: 'E7 Untitled (The Willi Wolf Wee Man remix)', 'Aria' and 'BriHarp featuring Anamika Singh'. At least one of those - the first - is from Environment Seven, albeit in remix form here. Have a listen here.

13/11/20 - FSOL on Bandcamp

The official FSOL Bandcamp will be launching later in the month. Click here to follow the page and get updates with all releases. And for the psych lovers among you, click here for the official Amorphous Androgynous Bandcamp!.

13/11/20 - News from the Touched Mixlr

A couple of tidbits from Martin in the Mixlr chat this evening. Firstly, a second Found Sound compilation will be released on Touched at the end of the month, and will feature the Humanoid track 'Tiny Machine Birth', originally heard in partially truncated form on the first A Controlled Vista. Secondly, tonight's mix, entitled Mind Maps, may get a released on Touched in the future. Given the material, there may need a little ironing out before that, however. And speaking of the material, here's what was played:

Andy Cato - The Coastal Path (Yage Interpretation)
B12 - Orbita Tolv (Rebuilt By Humanoid)
Min-Y-Llan - Lot-e (Synthi A - Analogue Designs)
Min-Y-Llan - Cycling Sundays (Yage Rebuild)
FSOL - Rain Forest
Humanoid - Scary Worlds
Humanoid - Tiny Machine Birth
FSOL - Untitled 41
Karsten Pflum - Borg Acid (Humanoid Remix)
Carbinax - Idiome (Humanoid Rebuild 3)
Blu Mar Ten - Shifted Night (FSOL Remix 2nd)
FSOL - Was There Some of the Time
FSOL - Untitled 42
2nd Mouse - High Jinx Dark (Humanoid Remix)
Yage - Despite (Light limited image)

08/11/20 - Touched Mixlr info

As previously reported, this coming Friday - 13th November - will see the broadcast of a fourth Touched Music FSOL show on Mixlr, hosted by Martin Boulton. Martin has shared more information about the show. The show will start at 8PM UK time, and feature an hour of unreleased and exclusive remixes and tracks by FSOLDigital artists.

A full tracklist & info - if made available - will follow after the show. See you there!

06/11/20 - Immortal pre-orders on FSOLDigital

'We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal' is now available for pre-order on FSOLDigital. The main six-part EP is available as CD, LP, MP3 and FLAC; a CD edition of the MPB Remix album has also been added. Exclusive to FSOLDigital is the promised two-CD pack, including both albums packaged in an exclusive slipcase. Orders will ship in two weeks.

05/11/20 - Slipcase for Immortal confirmed

Mr. Cobain has confirmed on Facebook that FSOLDigital will be stocking a limited edition version of 'We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal' with two jewel case CDs in a slipcase, in the same style as the previous Cartel and E6+ double packs.

05/11/20 - Two separate Immortal CDs coming

Juno and Rough Trade are the first places to list the Immortal CDs, and have revealed that the two versions are being released as separate CDs. Take a peek at the Juno listings here. It's quite possible that, like The Cartel and Environment 6+ before them, these discs will be available as a 2CD pack with slipcase from FSOLDigital. Time will tell - if an early shipping from the official store happens (as is likely), then we'll probably find out in the next couple of weeks.

03/11/20 - Touched Music Mixlr FSOL Night #4 on 13th November

It's been a while since we had a Touched Music FSOL night on Mixlr. And so a new one is lined up for 13th November, to celebrate the release of the A Controlled Vista 12" picture disc on Touched Revolutions (which is turning up as a pre-order on a number of stores already). More news soon.
