The Future Sound of London - From the Archives
I don’t usually comment on music as it’s a highly personal experience subject to individual tastes. But I couldn’t let this one pass by unmentioned.
The duo famous for turning the electronic music scene on its head in the 90’s is back—sort of. While the FSOL have released several new albums since their disappearance from the scene in 1995 after Dead Cities, most notably Translations, The Isness, its re-work album, The Otherness, Alice in Ultraland, and a few other releases of remix material/singles, although worthy of note here.
From the Archives comes in volumes 1–3; three separate ‘discs’ of around 70 minutes worth of FSOL tunes. “So fucking what,” you say, “when it’s all just the same shit we’ve been hearing for years played back in a different order?”
