    Cheers! Yeah, some of them are more fun to write than the others (some of the early 12"s were a bit grim to listen to on repeat, and these three hour shows can be a slog!) but on the whole I'm quite enjoying it. It's also going to be a chance for me to put the recent stuff in some context when I get to it, because I've been so overwhelmed by their material for the past few years that there are some releases I've barely listened to.

    Not that I know of, I'd imagine as it's on De:Tuned they'll have the rights to it for a while at least.

    Surprised / disappointed at the lack of download code, I do so much listening from my phone these days and don't like having to buy an album twice! Anyway, it's fucking great. I love how varied the new era Humanoid stuff is, some of it quite melodic and FSOL-like, some proper Warp IDM sounding, and now an album of straight-up acid bangers. Hed-Set is a collab with ex-Propellerhead Will White, who collaborates with FSOL from time to time and has a production/mixing project with Brian, also called Hed-Set.

    Discussed and embedded on the entry for the track.

    It's definitely not my favourite, although I think part of that is down to how I first heard it, as I wrote on the blog. If only I could go back in time... Amorphous Androgynous - Liquid Insects -Sky-Scraper The Future Sound of London - Cascade That took long enough to write, so I'll do a song-by-song for Cascade later in the week!

    Semi-Real is definitely... questionable. Still fond of Metropolis though. Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina -Liquid Insects -Swab -Mountain Goat -In Mind -Ephidrena -Auto Pimp -Fat Cat -Pod Room

    It was a straight re-press from the original CD, apparently done against Jonah's wishes. I think it getting pulled was the final thing that eventually pushed Psychonavigation into closure after countless controversies involving artists being screwed over, albums being re-released without permission, etc.

    Yeah, there are levels of tolerance, and being a transphobic reactionary bible basher is sadly far beyond that. Christ, there's always fucking something, isn't there?

    Of course, it's still far better than public transport pretty much anywhere else in the UK.

    Ughhh that's awful. Never would have known either, he's always seemed pretty decent during all my interactions with him. I think we were connected on my old Facebook, surprised I didn't get shit from him given I'm openly non-binary. I wonder if Martin and FSOL are aware? They don't seem like the types to work with someone as openly socially conservative as that.

    Plus if you move to Stokey you can go look at Aphex's old place.

    The Future Sound of London (+ infinite other projects) Underworld Orbital Aphex Autechre No obscure names there, but five artists who've been putting out solidly excellent material for 30 years (other than Barking). Deaf Center, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Photek are up there in terms of artists with small discographies; Tangerine Dream would be in the top five if 1972-1988, 2005-2007 and 2014-2015 could be cut from their overall history and presented as a unique collection.

    Given that it's got a lot of remixes of other artists on it, I'd imagine it's licensing issues that have limited it to a one-off CD release.

    I love the stuff about strange birds and eagles being inside it. "I saw pigeons."

    If you want to lower the rent a touch, move slightly further out to Walthamstow, Wanstead, the western end of Ilford and such, you'll find rooms in shared places a bit cheaper without being too far from interesting stuff, plus with Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest nearby it's not chokingly urban either. You'll certainly get a room in a flatshare for less than a thousand. spareroom.co.uk and rightmove.co.uk are pretty broad but reasonable starting places, Gumtree has some dodgy shit but isn't too hard to identify what's good from bad.

    Continuous mix. It's identical to the version played on Mixlr last year. This is actually the first time I've listened to it since then - been enough new FSOL in the meantime to keep me occupied - and I'd forgotten just how fucking good it is. Those Min-Y-Llan remixes and 'Rain Forest' are astonishing.

    Lucky enough to receive an advance copy today - interestingly, there's no tracklist on the art anywhere. Curious.

    I've ported over my Forthcoming Releases page from the FSOLBoard to the blog. https://fractionaldifference.wordpress.com/2021/06/23/forthcoming-releases/
