The long-awaited vinyl reissue of The Future Sound Of London<\/strong>‘s flagship album “Lifeforms<\/strong>” (arguably one of the most influential albums of the 1990s) finally lands – almost two and a half decades since it first set sail from the dancefloor to the outer-reaching corners of your mind.<\/p>\n

While many will know FSOL<\/strong> for the instantly recognisable rave hymn ‘Papua New Guinea’ the group’s true skills lied in crafting long-form (with its gatefold sleeve, dare we even say, prog?) indebted ambient electronica albums. Albums that were as equally inspired by the halcyon days of chewy techno\/rave as they were the ambient zonal drone outs of artists such as Robert Fripp (who guests on Lifeforms<\/strong>), Brian Eno and even the more glacial end of the Neu! spectrum.<\/p>\n

Not having had the sort of luxury of endless repress vinyl editions that the years have seen bestowed upon its fellow cornerstones of ’90s ambient-tech i.e. Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin, Leftfield, Massive Attack, Underworld. It’s only really Global Communication’s 76:14 and FSOL<\/strong>‘s “Lifeforms<\/strong>” left within the hiding in plain sight yet criminally hard to find moments of truly classic ’90s “dance” music, these left-untouched classics are now possibly more relevant than ever with the continuous evolution of the hardcore continuum’s move away from more traditional track structures.<\/p>\n

In all honesty, though, “Lifeforms”<\/strong>‘ return to vinyl above all else acts as a time portal to show just how experimental and expansive the post-rave boom of ’90s home-listening electronica truly was…<\/p>\n
