The Future Sound Of London

Time for my awesome-act-fully-deserving-of-their-own-thread of the week-related thread.

Anyone else here heard/heard of these guys before? Of the more mainstream progressive house acts to emerge from the acid house movement (with their mega-hits Stakker and Papua New Guinea - a couple of dance-floor classics), these chaps, who'd sometimes work under the pseudonym of Amorphous Androgynous and Humanoid, definitely ended up in the most avante-garde, left-of-centre (or just IDM if that's how you wanna look at things) place. They have a sample-heavy sound which incorporates dub, hip-hop, ambient, down-tempo, even psychedelia and jazz which yields endlessly fascinating results.

Albums you should look for if your interested (or ask for off me via PM if that's how you feel) include but aren't limited to...

^ So that's Dead Cities, Lifeforms and Accelerator from left to right there.

Amorphous Androgynous are well worth a listen too. Tales Of Ephidrina is probably my favourite of theirs under that name, sounding not too far removed from their work as FSOL with all those down-tempo, psychedelic and ambient vibes about them.

And because I'm just that kinda guy, have some videos too...

So, if you're up for a link, just ask. Otherwise, watch the videos and learn!
