FSA = David Pierce only for one release (and that was the versus Telefunken
thing), FSA started as Jon, Dave and someone called Claire (i think). What
FSA has in common with third eye foundation at the moment is the band AMP
who on "Astralmoonbeamprojections", and "Stenorette" (both Kranky) feature
the first 3 FSA members, Paul Gulati (a la Soundsmith, who was a member of
FSA for a bit, and now plays live with Movietone and Hood, i *think*),
various members of Hood and Movietone. Alongside the two core members of
AMP. This Bristol tradition (except Hood, from Leeds) dates back to a band
called Linda's Strange Vacation (the band founded the label of the same
name) who featured Matt Elliot, Dave Pierce, both AMPs, a few Hoods,
Empresses, Halkyns, Soundsmiths, Movietones!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this is true as
far as I know - i infer the band was of arkestra-like proportions in terms
of size) -
interested in that Ghost/Semtex like stuff?? the two AMP albums, the first
A.M.P. Studio album ("Syzygy" on Earworm, though mebbee reissue still
available on Ochre alongside the second LP "Alien Employment Registration
Office" (something like that) - come on keep up), the Soundsmith album
would, i imagine, all appeal: - whilst the Movietone album "Day and Night"
and "Rustic Houses, Forlorn Valleys" by Hood are quite a bit away from idm
stuff: the former is quite unlike anything i've heard (except maybe a
reverb-laiden Arvo Part! with ocassional krauty drumming) whilst the latter
is sort of ambient/drone/"indie" (in the way the JAMC, Dead C and MBV are
indie). I recommend them all.
