amorphous androgynous

Some people accuse my music tastes of running a tad obscure. This is surely an example. A niche within a niche with a side project. Let me explain:

IDM is intelligent dance music, electronic music removed from techno's cheez and elevated to a more high brow aim

FSOL stand for Future Sound of London, a ground breaking IDM duo that released LifeForms back in 1995 with Dead Cities coming a few years later. They left us for alomst 8 years to figure out what they did, then emerge a 60's influenced psychedelic band on the Isness.

Amorphous Androgynous is the duo's side project/alter ego which also released a ground breaking album back in the 90's. Looks like they've resurrected the alter ego to offer another wacky slice of psychedelic music. You have to read the message portion of the site, very wacky and very retro liner notes.

I'll report on the music when I finish downloading it!

UPDATE: one of the strangest albums I have heard in a long time, old Santana, electric Miles Davis, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, and bits of elctro dub all mash together to create some psychedelic music that defies all time or space. Groovy man!
