Npoess Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Accelerator isn't cheesy... People who think Accelerator is cheesy, are cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1fef0rm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Accelerator is by far their best record http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0RI8L6e7Y0 [youtubehd]Yfb3NFF4GsU[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]hzNzbt4s_3k[/youtubehd] i have to disagree. Earthbeat kills Accelerator. Very similar albums. I too am a fan of the really early FSOL work. Surprised to see no one mentioning ISDN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 ISDN has some fantastic tracks, some of their best (Smokin' Japanese Babe, Slider, Egypt, Kai, Dirty Shadows), but a lot of it, IMHO is filler. I meant cheesy in the best way too...I have the Earthbeat cd and vinyl, and yes, it is a fantastic compilation....the only pseudonym i never really got down with was Smart Systems....the Tingler was waaaaay too silly sounding for me.

SR4 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 [youtubehd]VoCWPHgxJk4[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]VmYFeW01Acc[/youtubehd] and probably my all-time favorites of their old tunes, Hyporeel and the Unity remix [youtubehd]_641B36pw_k[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]N89azSiw3JE[/youtubehd] dont fuck with me and old FSOL jams Metropolis original version: [youtubehd]6LGYJPWgdm4[/youtubehd] they really deserve more credit for all the dancefloor awesomeness they did back in the day.

SR4 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 also, was anyone ever on the old FSOL mailing list back in the day? had some awesome albums from Creature and others. I remember finally hearing these classics for the first time via an ICQ transfer with one of the original mailing list members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Promo Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 FSOL are legends. I like a lot there music. I guess from memory it took me a little while to get it too but I go so many fond memories of their stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 [youtubehd]hzNzbt4s_3k[/youtubehd] loveliest track. A little spoiled by that cheesy 90's element in the middle, but then again, they were the ones who pretty much invented cheesy 90's stuff with Papua New Guinea, so you can't blame them.

Guest Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I didn't get into their amorphous androgynous stuff... you mean the most recent hippie stuff, right? because the first record (pre-FSOL era) Tales of Ephidrina is mindblowing! I didn't get into their amorphous androgynous stuff... you mean the most recent hippie stuff, right? because the first record (pre-FSOL era) Tales of Ephidrina is mindblowing! Even starting from the Isness actually... I thought it was ok but for a FSOL album, very disappointing. You're right tho - too organic / hippy-ish for me. Didn't realized they dated back before that with Amorphous Androgynous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Get ISDN. Listen to "Smokin' Japanese Babe" on repeat. Smoke a joint or if you're like me, get a glass of scotch. It's lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpentintollwut Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't find Dead Cities cheesy at all. Except the cover art, I always thought it was horrendous, got used to it now, but still ... dead cities is cheesy though, cmon. there's WAY cheesier electronic from the 90's though. You mean like this unreleased FSOL song and video? [youtubehd]4hX8L4R9Yk8[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 6music played a 1992 Peel Session track by FSOL last night called "Expander" - tracklist and full show here. It was actually a great radio show altogether - Autechre's "Gnit" played just before a live depeche mode show from 1993. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
