purlieu Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 New 11 track album + book. CD 'Life in Moments' contains alt. mixes of tracks previously only available as bonus downloads with FSOLDigital orders and six new recordings. For all intents and purposes a new album really, I think only one track is 'archived' material. 01 – Taken Leave of all Senses 02 – Viewed from Across the Room 03 – I Turn To Face The Sun 04 – Bring 05 – Triospheres 06 – Sea + LSD 07 – Grindatone 08 – A Somnambulant Drift 09 – Talisman 10 – Abandoned Housing Blocks of Prypiat 11 – Falling Upwards Aria 'I Turn to Face the Sun' on YouTube: Book 'The Most Important Moments In A Life' described as a FSOL scrapbook - "compiled and collaged from the vaults of old pics, personal notebooks & cuttings of interesting curios and memorabilia filling its 80 ish full colour gloss pages. A feast for the eyes and a very interesting read to boot!" Pre-order from FSOLDigital, shipping next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The book sounds interesting but not something I'd buy by itself. Maybe if they did a vinyl+book bundle. Track is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Just the CD + book package sadly. Although speaking of vinyl they just put some signed test pressings on FSOLDigital. And new t-shirt designs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexagon hun Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 to get this it's like $50 after shipping, I just want the CD. And no digital download? I don't have a cd player on my Mac or in my car, lol, cd's in 2016 is just weird..and I'm an early 80s baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conjugacy Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 sounds the tiniest bit vaporwave-y. I can dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aces Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Definitely want to pick this up. Hopefully it won't be sold out before Friday... Any idea on how many there are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexagon hun Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 back to my point, hopefully the cd is available digitally somepoint. Anyone order this? Recieve it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I ordered on the 10th, not received as yet, I can't remember if they send dispatch emails. I have a feeling this won't be available separately digitally, it is partly made up of previously released (digital only) tracks exclusive to orders from the site, I already have 3 from ordering Archives 7 and 8. There's also 1 from that artworks book they put out last year (which I missed out on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 "Orders will be posted from 16th November." Not sure if there'll be a digital version - maybe a PDF edition somewhere down the line with an mp3 version of the album. I know at least one of the previous bonus tracks (Bring) is in a different version on this album. I'll see what I can find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexagon hun Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 wish I had gotten a signed copy, they come with a bunch of postcards/posters/"Dead Cities ideas" card, etc cool tho! Managed to order this, looking forward to reading and listening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 A guy on the FSOLBoard got all that stuff and didn't order the signed version so I think it might come with all the initial orders. Or the first however-many. UK pre-order copies seemed to arrive yesterday. Except mine. I have never met anybody with worse luck when it comes to the post.

sexagon hun Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 just because the CD is a tad bit short, once I make an Mp3 version for my phone I'm gonna add 5 more tracks: (I believe these are from the various bonus EPs) Cattle, Neurotic, Final Inner Breath, HereAfter and Electric Brain Storm. I prefer my fsol experience to be about an hour.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Got mine today. The book is fantastic, full of interesting press cuttings, hand-written notes from the band's studio, unused images, video screenshots, photos of DATs and such. As a proper FSOL nerd I'm finding loads of fascinating curios that shine a whole new light on things (a partial alternate running order for Accelerator scribbled out on a DAT case, for example). Pretty hefty stuff, I'm not even a quarter of the way through and I've been on this for a couple of hours now. The CD is lovely, continues on from Environment Five, probably more electronic in tone but a similar vibe in general. Beautiful tracks start to finish.

I also get the impression that it's kind of a small operation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
