17/07/20 - Kurakura album out now

Kurakura's debut album, Lockd Room Mysteries, is out now. The album, like last year's Smoke EP, has been produced and mixed by Hed-Set, the new project by Brian Dougans and Will White. It can be streamed and downloaded here.

17/07/20 - Future: Turned now on FSOLDigital

The new Humanoid EP, Future: Turned, is available to pre-order now from FSOLDigital on 12", FLAC and MP3. Order here.

Edit: An error with the MP3 zip file, which was previously believed to be because it was a pre-order, has now been resolved, and all downloads should be working immediately.

12/07/20 - Environment Seven track Northern Point on Facebook

Our first glimpse of Environment Seven comes in the form of 'Northern Point'. A video of the track being performed in a live take at Brian's studio can be found on the FSOL Facebook. At nearly six minutes, it's much longer than the average FSOL track of late, and the overall sparse sound is somewhat reminiscent of The SX:One Live Improvisations - perhaps unsurprisingly, given what's seen on the video.

19/06/20 - Humanoid - Future: Turned 12" EP out in August

Brian looks set to continue the onslaught of new Humanoid material with a new EP this August. The Future: Turned EP contains four tracks: 'We Come From the Future', 'Logique Abstract', 'Turned', and 'The Words of the Elders'. Whether the last track will be the same as the version from the Chipspeech compilation remains to be seen. The general release date is 7th August, although a slightly earlier shipping date from FSOLDigital would be unsurprising.

15/06/20 - Touched Electronix 005 update

Touched Electronix 005, a double LP featuring the likes of 808 State, John Beltran, As One and Datassette, as well as Humanoid, is out on 9th July. The previously reported compilation opens with new Humanoid track 'Tower'. Pre-order from Bleep or Juno - both links also feature previews of all tracks.

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.
