Too add to Mark's fairly comprehensive list is the various promo cd's
floating around put out by what would seem to be the Dutch subsidiary of
Virgin (FSOL's label) that includes the excellent ISDN RadioShow Promo cd
(I can dig up the catalogue number if you like, but at the moment i'm at
work and the disc is at home). Which basically takes tracks from Dead
Cities and other unreleased tracks and compiles them onto one disc.. I
assume it was an actual show they did via an ISDN link-up in the lead-up to
the release of Dead Cities. Also there's an interview cd promo which from
memory has no music but does have the FSOL lad's playing around with the
various bits of gear in the studio treating their voices.. only for the
die-hard FSOL completist. I also have the 13min Lifeforms video which was
commercially available which took 2 songs from the Lifeforms era... one
from it... Dead Skin Cells from memory but I could be wrong and the other
is Deep Into Your Consciousness I Slide, which appears on one of the
Astralwerks ambient comps and puts a fantastic Buggy G. Riphead video to
them. One of other things for the FSOL completist is the "Teachings from
the Electronic Brain" promo video that got screened on MTV Europe and which
some kind soul who taped it sent me a copy years ago. It's FSOL attempt at
non-linear tv and from memory is some their clips and stuff all whacked
together.. i'm going to watch it again tonight when I get home to refresh
my memory.
