The Future Sound of London

Before they became worldly popular as Future Sound Of London, Brian Dougans and Gary Cobain released many dance and almost rave-ish titles as far back as 1988 under these names :: Humanoid, Indo Tribe, Semi Real, Mental Cube, Yage, Candese, Art Science Technology, Intelligent Communication, Metropolis, Smart Systems and Yunie. It's not much to listen to.. most of it sucks total ass.. but it was probably a good listen back in the early euro techno days. 2001 has seen a re-release of the popular Humanoid hit, Stakker Humanoid, with some newer remixes but no new work by FSOL themselves.

Oh my! No FSOL discography?

FSOL have worked quite a bit with Graham Massey of 808 State. They sample A LOT. One of their aliases, Amorphous Androgynous, was nabbed by RealWorld for biting a sample from Peter Gabriel's Passion album. The My Kingdom EP has samples from Vangelis's Blade Runner music throughout, and ISDN is full of Robert Fripp material and samples from obscure movies.

The soundtracks Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and Hackers 3 both boast tracks by the duo. Their track Landmass, as far as I know, is only available on the Wipeout XL/Wipeout 2097 game disc. The recent Astralwerks compilation Rarewerks has one track of FSOL live material.

It should be known that FSOL made a good portion of their album artwork themselves. Buggy G. Riphead was responsible for a great deal of work therein as well.

FSOL did many web experiments, as well, which are most likely lost. However, their new website has quite a few gooey bits which crash your browser.
