The re-press of Pulse Two can be pre-ordered from the FSOL Bandcamp now. It's expected to ship on 11th June.

24/05/24 - Vinyl repress dates

A couple of confirmed dates for your diary - the green double LP version of Lifeforms will be officially released on 14th June; a reissue of Pulse Two will come out two weeks later on the 28th, although I'd be very surprised if it wasn't available through FSOLDigital a little while before then.

04/05/24 - Lifeforms vinyl repress

Lifeforms is being reissued as a double green LP on 14th of June for the album's 30th birthday. Nothing in the way of remastering or bonus tracks, but it's back in print again, which is always a good thing.

03/05/24 - New remix, RSD releases on Bandcamp, Calendar update, new video series

Update of recent news... a new Future Sound of London remix has been announced, for Holeg Spies as part of the extensive Brave New World multimedia pack 3CD & DVD release. The FSOL remix is of 'Lostrosphere'. Pre-order the collection here.

I'm sure everyone knows by now, but the Record Store Day reissues of ISDN and From the Archives can now be ordered from the FSOL Bandcamp. ISDN stock should be arriving at FSOLDigital next week and shipping soon after.

April's Calendar track was 'Atari One' by Humanoid.

I've begun adaptating my Fractional Difference blog into a series of YouTube videos called Earth Beat Visions. The first two can be seen below. All likes, comments, shares and subscriptions to the channel greatly appreciated!

29/03/24 - New FSOL track on Touched compilation

 'D05 sk', a new FSOL track, is now available on the 2CD / download compilation Full Spectrum on Touched Music. The compilation is raising funds for REACH, a charity helping young autistic people and their families. Grab it here

22/02/24 - ISDN tracklist

So we have a tracklist for the expanded ISDN. As predicted, the 2LP version simply pastes the white edition tracks into the start of side D before ending with 'An End of Sorts'. Interestingly, the 2CD edition features the same running order, making it a 90 minute 18 track double album with strong similarities to Lifeforms, right down to CD1 containing eight tracks and running to roughly 40 minutes, and CD2 containing more and running to roughly 50. It looks set to be the 'definitive' version of the album - the question is, will we ever get something similar for Dead Cities (the answer is, of course, no).
