22/10/19 - New calendars available to order

2020 can once again be checked off with two new FSOLDigital calendars. The first is an Amorphous Androgynous calendar, designed by artist Gavin Penn alongside Amorphic Arts, using "oil on canvas to mixed media collage and paints". Calendar purchases come with an immediate mp3 download of two tracks: 'IMMORTAL Suite no. 1 HAARP' (likely to be an outtake from the We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal suite) and 'Yer Peyote Blues'. These are the first full tracks to be heard from the new album sessions.

Secondly, the now traditional FSOL calendar returns to the physical domain with twelve new (or, indeed, old) artwork images, accompanied each month by a track download, which will create the fourth Calendar Album by the end of the year. Click the above links for purchases.

03/10/19 - Humanoid tracks now available

26/08/19 - Electric Brain Storms Document Twelve premiers on Soundcloud

The long-awaited EBS12 mix has finally appeared on Soundcloud. Brain explains the concept:
"In the 70s Composers of the strange found it hard to get their music heard. One of the main outlets was Radio commissions - RADIO ART - this mainly is celebrating some artists that managed to be transmitted."
The sound is much as you'd expect if you're familiar with earlier EBS mixes, with plenty of analogue and acoustic sounds mixed in with samples, field recordings, etc. The show can be streamed from the FSOLDigital Soundcloud here, and a print-your-own cassette cover can be found in the Facebook comments here.

25/08/19 - FSOL on Touched by Silence 11CD boxset

As announced here (at around 2:08), Touched Music will be releasing a massive 11 CD boxset in November called Touched by Silence. The set will include a number of albums plus compilation discs featuring standalone tracks. Included are The Orb, Higher Intelligence Agency, Scanner, Locust, Mick Chillage, Antonyme, Atom Heart, Richard H. Kirk... and The Future Sound of London.
No official confirmation yet, but it appears that FSOL's contribution is likely to be a full CD's worth of material - and there is believed to be another FSOL-related track elsewhere in the box. More news as it comes in...

A 7" of the Humanoid and Yage remixes of B12 and Funckarma released previously on Touched Music has been released.

The digitals are still available from the label.
