There was a brief period in high school when I smoked too much pot and the Amorphous Androgynous' Isness seemed like the most brilliant music in the world for me. I listened to it a couple of years ago and I don't get it. A couple of songs are okay but it sounds so... terrible, the tracks with vocals are particularly offensive.

The AA remixes of songs from the band Syd Arthur's first album is really fantastic, My favourite thing from FSOL by some margin. It helps that the source material ia good of course. Yeah, lovely.

ordered the new AA 2cd package last night as part of bandcamp friday.
the core part of the release is a 40 minute epic that involves peter hammill ..
it's quite a thing, and one for the late night part of a listening session.

Both the album and the remixes record are superb. Real heady stuff.

Real heady stuff.
indeed.the cover art on both releases is very indicative.not so sure anyone else is making anything like this stuff these days.

The two songs available for preview have a heavy prog rock (/fusion?) influence. I usually stan for A.A. but maybe I will have to take a pass on this one.

Whoops just realized the only two threads I’ve replied to recently were both at you (and I sort of said the same thing about A.A. and Unkle). Don’t mean to crowd out the Gen-X stoner-raver target market here, all three of us...

in retrospect this aspect of FSOL/AA was readily apparent from the beginning... I should spend more time with the last couple of AA albums and see if I can get into it. Lifeforms continues to be a favorite album.

note - these are not albums as such.its one song but done in all manner of variations spread over the 2 discs.
― mark e, Monday, 5 April 2021 16:16 (two years ago) link
cool, they did something similar on the Lifeforms and Cascade EPs from Lifeforms!
― mark e. smith-moon (f. hazel), Monday, 5 April 2021 16:43 (two years ago) link
yeah, thats exactly what i thought of.

hadn't heard Cascade 2020 but this is all excellent lush futuristic stuff, my favorite FSOL style
"Deep Sea of Clouds" is a standout

God thank you for waking up this thread. I always forget to listen to them, I was super into them at one point, and they are so often exactly what I want.

I'll check it out too. I've heard and enjoy all their 90s material but I stopped there because it was too overwhelming how much they've put out since

The FSOL board (not sure if it's still active) had an ongoing project of putting up user-created mixes for some time. There was some really good stuff in there.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 14 August 2023 22:30 (seven months ago) link
I should say, mixes of user-created content.
New mind maps 4 mix is great too
