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.

Do dates mean &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; to these people?

The Amorphous Androgynous Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Vol 2 launch party at the O2 is cancelled.  Mr. Cobain has this to say on the 'matter' (ahem):&lt;br /&gt;Sorry to announce that Matter and ourselves have taken the decision to cancel A MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE ( scheduled for this FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER ).&lt;br /&gt;Matter largely having operated within the dance music/ DJ events sphere to date were simply unprepared for the amount of production and promotion work for a LIVE event of this scale.( 7 bands and numerous theatrical interludes ) This has resulted in everything being compromised to an unacceptable extent and therefore we have mutually decided to cancel at this stage. Monstrous however will definitely resurface as the full-on extravaganza it was always intended to be  . . . .and maybe still at Matter . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MANY MANY APOLOGIES for any inconvenience and disappointment !! We worked very hard on this and share both sentiments !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full refunds by the ticket issuers and any queries should contact Matthew Ward - &lt;a href="mailto:mward@musicresponsegroup.com" target="_blank"&gt;mward@musicresponsegroup.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Amorphous supporting Kasabian&lt;br /&gt;Alisha Sufit writes this about AA's support slot with Kasabian on October 21st...&lt;br /&gt;Cor! Last night The Amorphous Androgynous played at the HMV Forum AND IT WAS GREAT despite the fact that we were in a . . . shall we say . . . cosy? dressing room considering the amount of bodies we were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Built in 1934 as a cinema when film was truly glam, the HMV Forum is a wonderful piece of architecture, a lavish and inspiring environment for any gig. I had had my doubts about how the sound balance would turn out, as it can be a bit shaky at festivals and we had a strictly limited time frame, plus we were working with new sound men, but I reckon it was the best we've had so far. The gig was a headliner for Kasabian and had sold out in 15 minutes, I was told, so the place was nicely packed with 2000 happy bods or more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm truly honoured to be invited to sing with The A A guys – the musicians are so good, the music is so inspiring and inventive! The band is really coming together now so I hope we get more gigs of the same ilk on our own patch – i.e. in the UK. (It's a great excuse to wear outrageous twinkly frocks, as well, let alone the psychedelic plimsoles!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Gaz in The Times&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to The Times Online's terrible security scripting, it's probably easier if you read this interview &lt;a href="http://users.boardnation.com/%7Efsoladmin/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=405" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and ignore the words 'lead poisoning' and continual references to Gaz being the only member of Amorphous (sigh).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

Well . . . not VOV really . . . that was just what it sounded like when my French friend used to say WOW!! But, yes, WOW! All yesterday Amorphous Androgynous were recording their very own new cover version of Oasis's Falling Down (love that song!) down at The Way studio run by nice Steve. Gorgeous chaps Virgil and Kes came in early to lay down the drums and bass and then we layered the rest – WonderAnt on guitar, Dave BAD! bongos, fab fiddle from Steve, cello from genius Hannah Miller, vocals from me in the early hours, vocals from SuperDave in the even later early hours . . . in between times, Dave (Sanderson), Edd Keene (flute), me and Hannah gently sessioned upstairs in the loungey place. Mare Street is good for great takeaways, too. I don't know what the poor little rescued canary made of it all in his big cage in the office, but he sang a bit as well! Then a nice Turk cabbed me home to my bed with a smile on my chops at 2 a.m. – no hour for an old hippie still to be up!! I went out like a light as soon as my head hit the feathers. Yes, we didn't finish till late . . . LATE!! Who was it on the studio sofa said, "And you're mixing it tonight, too, are you?" I THINK NOT! 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 . . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778918049569436326-2298448349380360501?l=www.secondthought.co.uk%2Ffsol%2Fnews%2Findex.htm' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.secondthought.co.uk/fsol/news/2009/09/280909-amorphous-cover-falling-down.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ross)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778918049569436326.post-7484359146574076231</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-22T05:21:52.725-07:00</atom:updated><title>MPB out now - and gig rearrangements</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Right, after a lot of confusing realigning of dates, the upcoming Amorphous Androgynous gigs are...&lt;br /&gt;Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble album launch @ Matter, London O2 Arena, 30th October, with Hawkwind, Comus, Yellow Moon Band, Nick Nicely's Unlived Lives, Cranium Pie, Alisha Sufit and special guests.

Although these holidays were happy times, there is the back story of the struggles of a single mum trying to make ends meat and give her kids some kind of escape away from the traumas of a family break up! Riz creates her landscape filled with her memories, with its dark meanderings leading to the ever hopeful crescendo."&lt;br /&gt;Tracklist includes The Horse Trainer, Patience and Farewell/Home.  The digital release includes a Yage remix of Home, while the CD runs at only three tracks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.yage.co.uk/1-2-3-music-store/public/images/seafar-art-21.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 118px; height: 118px;" src="http://www.yage.co.uk/1-2-3-music-store/public/images/seafar-art-21.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Second up is Hegira by Seafar - better known to some of you as FSOLBoard poster Mason Bentley.  The two hour album is described as:&lt;br /&gt;"A new comer to FSOLdigital - SEAFAR deliver a fat slice of electric space music - Hegira the sounds of a flight from danger.  Wander the streets together, the noise of life  muted by sheets of rain, brilliant colours dimmed  in a pervading mist of grey.  An instrumental amalgam of moody beats and  synth drenched noises."&lt;br /&gt;The 26 track album can be downloaded from &lt;a href="http://www.fsoldigital.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FSOLDigital&lt;/a&gt;, where you can also find the Neotropic download, and the Neotropic CD purchase link.  The site itself has had a brief overhaul with a sparser look, new fonts and a link to the second Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble CD release (as well as a broken link to an MPB8 podcast - coming soon perhaps?).  And fear not, links to the forthcoming 2" Tape Reels and Environments 3 remain!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Gaz is kicking up a storm on the internet, this time in an argument with a poster on YouTube which has been recounted in full on &lt;a href="http://forum.watmm.com/topic/48805-garry-cobain/" target="_blank"&gt;WATMM&lt;/a&gt; and can be read.  It all ended peacefully, but throws an interesting light on the perspective of filesharing from the owner of an independent digital label.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll have news on confirmed dates for the next Amorphous shows - the MPB launch has been moved tentatively to 'October' - soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778918049569436326-6207679003944847871?l=www.secondthought.co.uk%2Ffsol%2Fnews%2Findex.htm' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.secondthought.co.uk/fsol/news/2009/09/fsoldigital-branches-out-gaz-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ross)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778918049569436326.post-5557293695691588630</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-25T03:31:30.338-07:00</atom:updated><title>25/08/09 - Amorphous at the O2 Arena with Noel Gallager, Hawkwind, the resurrection of John Lennon and God Himself</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Well, almost.

The record is remixed and enhanced - "some of these recordings may suffer from wow and flutter - most have been salvaged from 25 year old reel to reel tapes - some of which had to be baked - more at fsoldigital.com".&lt;br /&gt;Featuring 29 tracks, the release is more consistent and flowing than the previous, more disjointed Zeebox releases.  Each track features an image and recording information in the id3 tag.  For some sneak preview tracks, have a look online - where else but &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/STAKKERHUMANOID" target="_blank"&gt;Brian's YouTube&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Zeebox Volume 3 can be bought for £5.00 from &lt;a href="http://www.fsoldigital.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FSOLdigital&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778918049569436326-476674580335695263?l=www.secondthought.co.uk%2Ffsol%2Fnews%2Findex.htm' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.secondthought.co.uk/fsol/news/2009/08/100809-zeebox-volume-3-finally-appears.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ross)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778918049569436326.post-7129269783665781786</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2009 10:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-03T03:22:10.528-07:00</atom:updated><title>30/08/09 - Insert witty video headline here</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMSap7ZbJA0&amp;amp;feature=channel_page" target="_blank"&gt;Humanoid on Hitman and Her - very amusing old footage of Humanoid on stage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjpTslEbDhk" target="_blank"&gt;Old Puma adverts featuring 'The Far-out Son Of Lung'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWtAjhoToCg&amp;amp;feature=channel_page" target="_blank"&gt;And an old Yage jungle track from 1997 - Gentlemen Hold It&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;That's it.

Anyway, several videos have appeared on the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/STAKKERHUMANOID" target="_blank"&gt;STAKKERHUMANOID YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt; this week.  First up, FSOL's hilarious delivery of Dead Cities to Virgin Records in May 1996 &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52L4fDrxvBU&amp;amp;feature=channel_page" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  Graham explains...&lt;br /&gt;A band is meant to on completion of recording an album hand over the finished parts to the record company which are signed for and acknowledged. This is called delivery and is done so that the legal people are happy that the contract has been adhered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FSOL decided to do a bit more than send it over on a bike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second up, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ntTgmagHo&amp;amp;feature=channel" target="_blank"&gt;the video for "Beers" by Headstone Lane&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwGQEBYK968&amp;amp;feature=channel" target="_blank"&gt;a short extract of an interview with Buggy G.

Featuring the usual selection of industrial, ambient, early electronics, Krautrock and the occasional splashes of Amorphous eccentritcy that EBS listeners will now be used to, the show - titled "I Stood There, Motionless" - is a little lighter than its predecessor, the spooky "The Spirit Of Dark And Lonely Water".  But only a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;little&lt;/span&gt;.  No exclusive FSOL this time, although there are a few selections from the forthcoming third Zeebox volume.  And the show fits handily on a CD, running at 1 hour 14 minutes.  Without further ado, &lt;a href="http://www.yage.co.uk/digitalpodebs5.html" target="_blank"&gt;here's a link&lt;/a&gt; to the show on FSOLDigital, to purchase for £2.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778918049569436326-5955759898929220141?l=www.secondthought.co.uk%2Ffsol%2Fnews%2Findex.htm' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.secondthought.co.uk/fsol/news/2009/06/080609-electric-brainstorms-5-online.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ross)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778918049569436326.post-586659042041116907</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2009 12:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-25T05:54:58.502-07:00</atom:updated><title>25/05/09 - Athens show: news and reviews</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;FSOL's headline performance in Athens was, of course, on Saturday, and several of our lucky forum members were in attendance.  While we're waiting for an official tracklist, here's a peek at what went on.&lt;br /&gt;All reports give the show top marks, with an hour and a half performance including new tracks, variations on old ones and ambient interludes.  The setup, featuring a massive screen in the shape of Brian and Gaz's faces, was performed to a large crowd, sent in over ISDN cables from Brian's studio in Somerset.  Tracks performed included:&lt;br /&gt;Herd Killing/Explosive Part 4&lt;br /&gt;Brujo&lt;br /&gt;Yage&lt;br /&gt;Mouth Muse&lt;br /&gt;Lifeforms&lt;br /&gt;Everyone In The World/My Kingdom&lt;br /&gt;Cascade (with Environments opening)&lt;br /&gt;Room 208&lt;br /&gt;We Have Explosive&lt;br /&gt;Papua New Guinea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was an encore featuring two new tracks; and at least four were performed, with one including vocals from Gaz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Videos are appearing all over YouTube and are well worth a search.  &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ssssempreazzurooooo" target="_blank"&gt;These, in particular, come highly recommended - excellent quality.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778918049569436326-586659042041116907?l=www.secondthought.co.uk%2Ffsol%2Fnews%2Findex.htm' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.secondthought.co.uk/fsol/news/2009/05/250509-athens-show-news-and-reviews.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ross)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
