The Future Sound of London - Environment 5

Nice, was just listening to some of the Archives yesterday and wondering when their next release would be, they haven't put an fsol released out since 2012.

From the previews heard on their FSOLDigital Sampler 2 in 2012, gonna guess this will be a bit more electronic than Environments 4 was. Love that clip.

Excellent news. Wonder how long to wait though?

2014 is your best bet lol

Sounds great! I haven't checked out any of these Environments releases. Truth be told, the only FSOL/FSOL related material in my collection is 'Accelerator' & 'Humanoid Sessions 85-88'.

I just found out about FSOL like a few weeks ago lol

might check this one out!

C'mon guys...

Are they like the Morcheeba - I liked that Papa Nu Gin-E track they did on that Ibiza chill out album I bought a few years back.

Why is it Environment and not Environments?

Their attitude towards plurals in titles is somewhat scatty - see their Electric Brainstorm / Brainstorms / Brain Storm / Brain Storms mixes.

Wow I hope all of it sounds like the sample!

the environments series has been some of their best stuff imo or at least often rivaling their best work. imo they still completely shit on so much new electronic stuff coming out these days. these guys truly are masters.

don't do it Nemo!!

I love Environments II, but haven't really cared for any of the others for the most part (3 had some good tracks). Hope this one will reach the same heights as II.

Also:

Will be released on vinyl, CD and digital.

Same 'ere

1. Point Of Departure

2. Source Of Uncertainty

3. Image Of The Past

4. Beings Of Light

5. In Solitude We Are At Least Alone

6. Viewed From Below The Surface

7. Somatosensory

8. Multiples

9. Dying While Being Held

10. Machines of the Subconscious

11. Dark and Lonely Waters

12. The Dust Settles

13. Moments Of Isolation

Following on from the themes of the first 4 Environments albums, Five explores the space / time / dimension that exists when we die. The moment of departure. It includes appearances from Daniel Pemberton (BAFTA nominated / Ivor Novello winning composer), Raven Bush (Syd Arthur) and Riz Maslen (Neotropic). The Environment series originally began as an archive of previously unreleased recordings but Environment Five features thirteen all new songs recorded in the first half of 2014.

Emphasis by me. Nice bit of confirmation that this is a new album rather than being based on old / unfinished material.

Great news. That Amazon link has it listed as a 2CD album

It also says "Number of Discs: 1" so fuck knows. Brian has mentioned that it'll be a single disc, thinking the tracklist might actually be for the double vinyl.

omg. New FSOL on vinals???
