Who misses the older FSOL sound?
 
I listen to Lifeforms and just am blown away at how far ahead of their time they were.

Lifeforms is awesome. Dead Cities is also pretty underrated.

Not sure I miss that sound in contemporary electronica, but yeah, Future Sound of London were pretty cool :)

FSOL just sounded lush and organic to my ears. Most of what they did was sample based of course. The music these days just doesn't seem as imaginative to me.

I think the last three years have been the best yet for ambient music. I was real into FSOL when they first came out but I haven't listened to them for a long time. I think I need to revisit their music.

The only one I heard was Lifeforms - it's great. I couldn't find any of their other records though and forgot about them... any others worth checking out?

if you liked Lifeforms, you're better off getting the similar-sounding Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 by The Aphex Twin
