02/06/20 - Additional RSD reissue

On top of the previously announced - and eagerly awaited - Cascade 2020 and We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal (A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Remix) (which is still being listed everywhere as simply A Monster Psychedelic Bubble), a third Record Store Day exclusive has been announced. The 7" the accompanied the 2016 RSD LP reissue of Accelerator, featuring 'Papua New Guinea (Andrew Weatherall Remix) (Edit)' and 'Stolen Documents (Accelerated Mix)', is being reissued as a standalone single, in tribute to Weatherall, who died this February. Both tracks are widely available on the 2016 CD edition of Accelerator, but the 7" has never been released on its own before. This will be available in participating record stores / COVID-catching-houses on 29th August, alongside the two other releases. Remaining copies will be available from FSOLDigital a week later, alongside digital versions of the two new records, and the expanded CD edition of Cascade 2020.

19/05/20 - Yage remixes Min-Y-Llan

Min-Y-Llan, the project of Touched owner Martin Boulton, today released his album Snagged. Among the 17 tracks is 'Sunday Cycling (Reinterpreted by Yage)'. And another track called D_ougans, which may well be a response to the track 'Boulton' on Archived : Environmental : Views.

19/05/20 - Environment Seven and EP; RSD news.

If Record Store Day actually goes ahead later in the year - which is still looking incredibly optimistic (and dangerous) - Cascade 2020 and We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal will be released on 29th August.

In better news, Environment Seven is confirmed for release this year - accompanied by a tentative FSOL-style "soon", which could mean anything from a week away to six months - and will be released alongside a related EP! More news as it comes in.
