Next Future Sound Of London album
The next FSOL record is in the works, it has been announced. Lots of work into 5.1 surround sound has been done lately, which have resulted in a twenty minute video, "Stereo Sucks", and "A Gigantic Globular Burst Of Anti-Static", a soundtrack to an art installation at the Kinetica gallery in London. The full "Stereo Sucks" video, plus an audio clip, featured on the disc mounting Issue 182 of Future Music Magazine. There will most likely be a short-run release of the full "Globular Burst" piece in the short future. After that, Gaz has announced the duo intend to spend "six months working on a surround sound masterpiece". Elsewhere, both Brian and Gaz have been working on separate musical projects, some of which - including PartSubMerged, Polemical, Heads Of Agreement and The Orgone Accumulator - have appeared on MySpace and FSOLDigital, while others remain unknown. These projects may well lead to further material adding to the forthcoming album. Everything heard so far has been extremely electronic, and in most places very ambient.


Archives
Brian has spoken of the forthcoming From The Archives 5 disc, the final in the series, and a potential 1-5 boxset. The Electric Brain Storm 1 tracklist contains songs supposedly from Archive 6, although this may be a typographical error. Further archived releases include '2" Tape Reels', which is described as 'Various sessions - demos and outakes from the 2" multitrack recordings @ RAM studio. 16 songs - 1 hr 5 mins', including a bizarre mix of We Have Explosive previewed on the band's MySpace, and 'Zeebox 3 - heavily involved in drugs', which is the long awaited final chapter in the Zeebox series, recently previewed on YouTube.


Yage - The Woodland of Old
An album of newly recorded material under the alias Yage, a CD release is likely after May's digital release.


The Amorphous Androgynous
Several AA releases have been suggested for the future. The long spoken of Amorphic Archives are due to follow the successful FSOL archive series, although may have been renamed to Amorphik Alternatives, if the Electric Brain Storm 1 online mix tracklist is anything to go by. The booklet for The Peppermint Tree contains covers for the following releases: The New Love Poetry, Wobbly Oozescapes and 2012, promising their availability on FSOLDigital.com. It is possible that one of these is the archive disc, but what the other two - or maybe even three - contain is currently a mystery.

Environments
Environments II & III, recently revealed, are expected to have mp3 releases and possible CD versions later in the year. Brian has described them as containing music 'past and present'.


A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble
In the Freeze article, Gaz confirmed 'mix/DJ albums' will be coming out this year. Those of you with good memories may remember the Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble MySpace page from last year. As Gaz says over there: "The first VOLUME is upon us- the Eternal Now-A History Of Psychedelic Travel and Sonic Teleportation is being transmogrified by the Amorphous Androgynous RIGHT NOW and is scheduled for a Sept 2007 release on Platipus Records."... "The second volume is to be mixed by the Future Sound Of London and will appear toward the end of the year. 'The Monstrous Bubble' will be an ongoing mix series featuring guest collaters at the behest of the Amorphous Androgynous and the FSOL." The label have announced they are releasing a series of compilations which will take ['A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble'] to even greater legendary status [than it's 1997 recording].' Here's Platipus Records. The first volume, by AA, is out in August/September 2008 as a double CD.


FSOL and Amorphous DVDs
Several years ago, the official forum mentioned a FSOL DVD release - and the band are still in talks with EMI over this. Expect videos. Expect a long wait. In the nearer future, an Amorphous Androgynous DVD, containing unreleased audio and video from the Isness/Alice In Ultraland sessions, is set for release on Future Sound of London Recordings later in 2008.

6 Oscillators In Remittance - Light Senses Dark Edges
Another of Brian's experiments, so likely to just appear as an mp3 release alongside Heads of Agreement, Polemical, Zeebox and PartSubMerged, one track is on FSOLDigital as a sampler. Made by oscillators reacting to light, this material is droney ambient.

EMS:Piano
Another project of Brian's, currently incomplete, will be out sometime in the future. Featuring electronics and piano (unsurprisingly), the record is inspired by soundtrack work Brian's father had done. Two tracks were previewed on The Electric Brain Storm online radio show in June 2008.
