An album released in 1996 by
the Future Sound of London.
This release is characterized by the harshest, most intense music FSOL has ever released. Harmless penny whistle samples are layered over electro and industrial soundscapes, time signatures are changed with reckless abandon, and FSOL were doing it long before Autechre made it popular.
The album as a whole seems somewhat derivative of ISDN. Once again, there are loads of samples from obscure films and everywhere else, like FSOL's typical MO. However, this new album is without the calm pauses and occasional repose of their previous work.
