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.

cool, they did something similar on the Lifeforms and Cascade EPs from Lifeforms!

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.

I should say, mixes of user-created content.
New mind maps 4 mix is great too
