Zed Storm - unreleased FSOL from 1991

Forum regular RONTXO has uncovered this rarity, mentioned some months ago, an eventually unreleased cut from 1991, intended to be put out on Freaky Deak Records (as mentioned on the back of some of those J&P 12"s), 'Zed Storm', under the FSOL moniker.
You can hear the track, sourced from Colin Dale's Dance Show in 1991, here on YouTube.

18/12/09 - A Mojo Psychedelic Bubble - confirmation

Thanks to Dell1972, who had the common sense to look at the Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble MySpace page and read this snippet confirming the already rumoured mix CD...

"There will be a special dedicated covermount CD " A MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE EXPLODING IN YOUR MIND" on the Jan/ Feb issue of MOJO magazine alchemised by the Amorphous Androgynous. There will also be a feature on the band themselves tracing their story from FSOL to AA through to the Monstrous Bubble."

Lovely stuff.

07/12/09 - Unreleased tracks, Mojo and The New Consciousness

A bit of intrigue lately, and some song titles for potential up coming archive style releases for you: Switzerland, Dead Dolphine 2, East Pacifica, Eleven Hot Knives, Egypt (Original) and Under Pass. None of these are confirmed for release and may change names in the meantime, but it's something to have a think about. Maybe. If you're bored. See the forums for more information.

More interestingly, it's been rumoured The Amorphous Androgynous, in their continual attempt to take over the world, are doing a cover mix CD for Mojo magazine, in what will probably be February's issue (195), despite it coming out at the beginning of January. Do dates mean nothing to these people? Anyway, Alisha Sufit said 'Gaz Cobain and Brian Dougans will put their wizard hats on and beaver away with their mixing bowls for quite some time to make a good pud for Mojo, so we hope so . . . .' on her blog somewhat recently, so that looks like it may be the same thing...

Old stuff - the New Consciousness YouTube was updated some time ago, apparently, with more videos of this early 80s art project featuring Brian, along with a track from 1978 band The Heads, which features the same Mr. Dougans on guitar. Thanks to Ceeg for pointing these incredibly interesting curios out!

What's that, you want real news? Nah, not yet. But interesting things are around the corner...
