Probably the best FG album yet. Artwork is top notch of course as well, but I do wonder if House has been influenced a tad by Ian Hodgson for this. That's not meant to be a criticism by the way, in fact quite the opposite.

this and we are all pan's people might now be my favorite focus group works. 'flaming voices' is gorgeous

btw: when you said house has been influenced a tad by ian hodgson- did you mean design wise or production wise? just curious

Sorry, I should've said in the design of Elektrik Karousel. Listening to the CD again in the early hours, this is now definitely my favourite FG album. Incidentally, I counted 26 tracks on the vinyl, with 29 on the CD. And I agree with you on Flaming Voices, also loving Kinky Korner Klub, amongst many others.

It's been a while coming, but this album was certainly worth the wait.

This records great, never realised the vinyl was missing three tracks though. Just means I'll be buying the CD too!

Haha, he sampled Les Baxter's 'Quiet Village' in the track 'The Flourescent Host'. Awesome.

until 'tigt gruffil' i was afraid this was going to be a normal record... but there's the broken loveliness i've come to expect!

I think this is his best work, hands down

I think you may be right.
