07/02/20 - Mental Cube EP

1990's Mental Cube EP is due for a slightly re-shaped reissue this month. Featuring the original two a-side tracks - 'Q' (the popularity of which inspired this reissue) and 'Chile of the Bass Generation' - the EP includes later single 'So This is Love' and Indo Tribe track 'In the Mind of a Child' (apparently originally planned for Mental Cube) on the b-side. The 12" is due out some time between now and 28th February, depending on the online store you order from, although no doubt FSOLDigital will have copies up in the coming few days. A digital version is almost certain to accompany the release on FSOLDigital, and there is some talk of an expanded CD edition to follow, although nothing is confirmed yet.

29/12/19 - December calendar track

The closing track to this year's calendar album is 'Musell' by FSOL, meaning the band's main project gets ten of the twelve tracks for the year. It's a piece of pounding electronica recorded in 2018.

And that about rounds up this decade in FSOL news. It's been a very surprising ten years: at the close of 2009, the only newly recorded material we'd had in years was The Woodlands of Old and the three side-project experiments from 2007; the second half of this decade has had them averaging 40-50 new tracks released every year. Here's to an equally productive 2020s.

FSOL's mix for Rave Atlas, entitled Planet Earth, is now available to stream. Streaming options are available on the website, along with a rough tracklist. As ever, the tracklisting is somewhat incomplete, have a gander over at the forum where we'll be attempting to complete it.

21/12/19 - We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal - Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Remix Album

The 'album length single', following the traditional FSOL/AA multiple paths approach, of 'We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal' has been given a provisional release date of March 2020. A touch later than initially hinted (unexpectedly - and it'll most likely end up later than March knowing them) but mostly unsurprising. What is surprising, and very much news, is the announcement by Gaz - as usual, buried in a Facebook comment thread - that it'll be followed in April by A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding in Your Mind) Presents: 'We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal' Remixed, featuring remixes from, and collaborations with: Stoned Freshwaters, Peter Hammill, The Amorphous Androgynous, Paul Weller, Atomic Simao, Cobalt Chapel, Regal Worm, Higher Peaks, Las Trompas De Falopian, Future Children, Sweet Jesus, The Flying White Dots and Richard E Further Out. Some of those names are rather pun-ish, so we'll do some research to find out just who's who (follow the album thread on the board for any findings. This suggests that Listening Beyond the Head Chakra will probably not be out until mid-to-late summer at the earliest. It's going to be a long - and expensive - year for Amorphous fans!
