I agree. "Cascade" is very promising, and if they ever realize their entire project (that they are always talking about in interviews) that would be a real step forward. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Alright, here we go. I agree that if any "techno" (if you can call it that) band deserves credit as being on the cutting edge, it is FSoL. Accelerator was by far way ahead of it's time for 1991. The music on that album still sounds like it could have been created yesterday, it is so new. Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina consists of only the "throw-away" tracks from their forth-coming new album and it is excellent. And the Cascade single is so far ahead of it's time that most people listen to it and don't understand it at all. You have to be in the right frame of mind to understand Cascade, but it can really blow you away. BTW, I've heard about this "Lifeforms" album, is that their new unreleased album? Or is it an older album that's hard to find? Luke

Oh I love nitpicking dates with people who have no idea what they're talking about. My "Papua New Guinea" single is dated 1992. Although "Accelerator" is (P) 1991, it was EXTREMELY hard to get a copy when it was first made available in the states in the spring of 1992. I honestly doubt it was readily available in England in 1991 if all. Isn't it odd how people yak about how something being fab zillions of years ago when they had nothing to do with the music at the time?

For someone who has only DJ'd "Papua New Guinea", I find your sudden acceptance of FSOL as 'brilliant' very surprising. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Pete, I'm sorry for simply mentioning music that I enjoy. I didn't ask for a flame war though. Maybe you missed my point. I meant that Accelerator was created and RECORDED in 1991. The date that the music was created is what is important to me about this album. If anyone else created music that far ahead of its time I would praise them as well. Accelerator is an album that has not lost it's edge over time and I can still listen to it now and get different musical insights every time I do. For the most part, I DJ dance music. Even though Cascade is a great song, you won't find me playing it on the dance floor simply because it isn't very danceable. I have made several ambient tapes, however, and I've included it on one of them. How would you even know what I DJ nowadays, since you've only heard me play once in the last few months? I may not have been a FSoL fan ever since their first single, but I have enjoyed their music for about a year and a half now, as if it really matters. Luke
