Future Sound of London – The Isness
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
After reading on The Echoes Blog that the guys from Future Sound of London won the Mojo Award for “best Compilation” I got curious about what they are doing nowadays. I already knew about their modern day 60′s psychedelic band Amourphous Androgynous but didn’t knew that the FSOL went on this road to.
So armed with a lot of curiosity I started listening to The Isness and was hit with a bang. This is great music! First thing: Forget “Lifeforms” or “Dead cities”. Forget eletronic music. Instead, think of Syd Barret, King Crimson and all the big progressive rock names. This is psychedelic prog rock made on 2000′s! If you like the style check this album, you will not regreat it. It was released on 2002, how I have missed this is a mystery to me.
And if you are wondering “who the hell is Future Sound of London” do yourself a favour and listen to “Lifeforms” album, a milestone of the ambient genre (released on 1994!) that still works like a charm. Prepare to be transported…
