08/03/09 - Falling Down remix available now!

Here is an Amazon link to make a purchase of the Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble mix of Falling Down by Oasis
You should buy it, really, it's pretty fantastic. Starting off with the section we heard on Rob Da Bank - the 'radio' part, really, a psychedelic Tomorrow Never Knows-esque version of the original track - and moving into the second instrumental jam section, the track suddenly veers into more FSOL territory for part three, with pianos, Environments II/Dead Ringer-esque strings, filtered vocals and lovely synth work. Part four sees Dave Sanderson (we think) take over the vocal work, pretty much turning it into an Amorphous cover of the track, and part five brings Noel back into the mix, before a dramatic strings and crows (yes, that sample is still around...) outro.
It works very much like a classic FSOL EP - starting with the 'original' track (if you imagine this is AA featuring Noel Gallagher) and then heading off into various versions of the piece. It's epic and genuinely a fantastic piece of music, worth a purchase for any Amorphous fan.

Anyway, enough gushing for now.

06/03/09 - Green man. Bestival. Other festivals. Radio 1.

Platipus have informed us of this - This year's Green Man festival "Also appearing will be The Amorphous Androgynous (AKA Future Sound Of London) taking you on a Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind for 7 hours of life changing experiences.". Seven hours. Of MPB. Imagine.

They also inform us Amorphous are playing more festivals this year (maybe the Athens and Bestival shows we heard about?), and FSOL will be on Rob Da Bank at some point very soon.

Speaking of Rob Da Bank, thanks to a hardcore Oasis fan who has lots of rare tracks on Youtube, including a rip of the seven minute radio play of the Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble mix of Falling Down from Rob Da Bank's show last month here. And breathe...

27/02/09 - FSOL live in Athens this May?

Promotions and media company Existenz (nothing to do with David Cronenberg. Probably) have a little animated screen on their website which happily announces "The Future Sound of London live in Athens 23 May 09". This is interesting news to us. Will it be a festival or a gig? FSOL or Amorphous? Live or ISDN? Who knows, but we'll find out. Hopefully. If you have any info, leave a comment or post on the forum or send an email!

23/02/09 - Hear part of the Oasis remix now

Here's a direct copy of Graham's post on the forum, because we can't be arsed to re-word it:

You may want to check http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/robdabank/

Ignore the obvious mistake from Rob, Garry will be correcting him when he's on his show in a couple of weeks time.

It's all of part one and a tiny little bit of part 2.

19/02/09 - A Neotropic Psychedelic Bubble

Riz Maslen, better known as Neotropic and sometimes Small Fish With Spine, longtime FSOL collaborator, friend and more, apparently produced a mix under the somewhat familiar title 'A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding In Your Mind' way back in 2007 (alright, it wasn't that long ago), for the mixtape blog The New Worck. Whether this suggests she'll be curating a further mix, helping out with the festival or whether it's just a friendly nod to the band, we currently don't know. But it's quite a nice mix, which you can download and read more about here.

18/02/09 - Buggy talks Stakker

Buggy G. Riphead has a short interview here, where he talks about making the Stakker Humanoid interview back in 1987. There's also a link on the site to his official page, which contains lots of his photography, including some unseen FSOL shots.
