Found this info about FSOL on another discussion list
and thought it might be of interest to this list...
---------------------------------------------------------------
After a long absence, on Sat 26 Aug 2000, FSOL's Garry Cobain showcased
new material at Metamorphose show, Techno Music Summer Festival, Asagiri
Heights campground, Mt Fuji, Japan. The whole festival was beamed live
to the web including two performances of FSOL's set on the outdoor
ambient and main stages, titled "The Future Sound of London present The
Mello Hippo Disco Show" "A Psychedelic dj Experience". This is almost
concrete proof that FSOL are back with a new release just around the
corner.... :-) :->
Is there anyone who captured this performance? If so, please contact me
privately.
FSOL are also to appear as guests on BBC Radio 1's "One World" show in
the new year (i.e. 2001). According to Radio 1 :
"One World will see in the year 2001 with a bang! Featured guests will
include Mr C, LTJ Bukem, Erykah Badu, Ninja Tunes, Thievery Corporation,
Photek, Alex Gopher, Future Sound Of London, and a special live
performance by 4 Hero and MJ Cole. FSOL will be doing a version of the
Mellow Hippo Disco show .... probably Feb or March."
With a live airing of new material on Radio 1 to herald the new album,
FSOL will, most than likely continue their tradition of broadcasting
further live shows to other radio stations around the world during the
rest of the year. Again, if anyone is going to capture or has captured
some of this, please contact me privately...
A further delay with the new FSOL material means that its going to be
early 2001 before the new album sees the light of day. With light at the
end of the tunnel it looks as if FSOL have achieved total metamorphosis
for the new album. Drawing yet deeper from the archives of sound FSOL
are working to become the past as well as the future. A source close to
FSOL had this to say :
"The new FSOL album has just been delivered to Virgin. The current
situation is they are basically getting the artwork together. You will
not be expecting what it sounds like at all. The first single is
probably the most unlike the old FSOL. Various 60/70s musicians have
contributed to the new album. Contributors include bassist Herbie
Flowers (Space Oddity, Walk on the Wildside) and guitarist Gary Lucas
(Cpt. Beefheart), Catrin Roberts (Mao) and Anjali (Singer?).
Unfortunately I have to report that the album release has been put back
again. This is purely because we want to make sure that everything is
ready for a strong campaign and also because the samples still aren't
cleared yet. However, we are talking very early next year (i.e. 2001) so
you will be hearing and seeing them this side of Christmas."
