About this deal

Review Summary: Lifeforms may not have become the prototype for London's future sound, but it is still one of the strongest records to come out of the 90s. mp3 а они его в лосслесс запихнули? Ну вапще! Это еще хуже чем ситуация с Metallica - Death Magnetic

AllMusic called it "one of the best experimental techno releases of the '90s" and "an inventive, fascinating aural experience, as rich and detailed as the Orb's best work." [4]From "Vit" till "Little Brother" takes you to its individual journey. It is a breathtaking trip to the core of the jungles and inner mind. It shines like a thousand stars and tastes like the most delicious fruit. It swims with dolphins ("Omnipresence"), takes you to a lovely hotel ("Room 208") and even makes the forest turn frozen solid ("Elaborate Burn"). Hehehe, i once was spending a night at a hotel and it also had a room #208 near my room. I bet the people who spent the night there had a jungle there. For the 40-minute single, Liz Fraser did ten amazing versions, almost completely improvised on the spot. We hope to release the full results. Two new synths from Digitana Electronics and The Future Sound of London are inbound". musicradar.com. February 2017 . Retrieved 3 June 2022. The trance nature of their early work is almost absent here, aside from some instruments that are decidedly acid techno. Their use is just so strange. It can be very un-techno at points and it's only to the album's benefit. In March 2007 they finally went independent and launched FSOLDigital.com releasing dozens of unreleased material (under the From The Archives series), as well as old and new material from their other aliases. One of the most anticipated albums in ambient history, Environments got released 13 years since its recording, and then Environments continued as a series, the first volumes were reproduced old material blended with new neoclassical material. By the time they reached Environment Five in 2014, all recorded material was brand new. Show more

A 2:50 edit of "Path 4" was used as a radio edit and for the promotional video for the single. It is this version that appears on the commercial compilation album The Best...

Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans met in the mid-1980s while studying electronics at university in Manchester, England. Dougans had already been making electronic music, working between Glasgow and Manchester, when the pair first began working together in local clubs. In 1988, Dougans embarked on a project for a graphic studio Stakker, which resulted with a single " Stakker Humanoid" that reached number 17 in the UK charts, introducing acid house to mainstream audience. [3] Cobain contributed to the accompanying album Global. But, there is definitely more here. This really is one of those perfect and uniquely innovative post modern journeys into the total fusion allowed by modern technology and the cut and paste mentality that really took hold as electronic music evolved. From a compositional view, think of this as essentially reinventing classical whilst keeping choirs and orchestras but adding, dreamy airy effects, modern synthesisers, sampling. In 1992, Cobain and Dougans released their debut, techno-driven album together, Accelerator. It was followed by " Papua New Guinea", a single based on a sample from " Dawn of the Iconoclast" by Dead Can Dance, and a bassline from "Radio Babylon" by Meat Beat Manifesto. In 1992, after the chart success and several accolades [4] [5] of "Papua New Guinea", Virgin Records signed the band with free rein to experiment. ted (19 April 2010). "FSOL news: 20/04/10 – that Record Store Day 12" and the state of the world". Fsolnews.blogspot.com . Retrieved 31 August 2010. The atmosphere conjured up by the album is stunning. Lifeforms really shows the oxymoron better than any other album - an organic, breathing jungle is being created purely with electronic sounds and some instrumentation. Cascades begins as such, with a guitar supported by an ambient landscape. Flak builds up the dense environment with magical chimes and plodding herds. Dead Skin Cells is the beautiful and sad call of a lonely animal. Lifeforms showcases the darker and more hostile side of the jungle. Amongst Myselves - the death of an explorer lost in glimmering caves below the rainforest.
