British duo who met in the 1980s in Manchester. Their very influential discography shows off influences spanning acid house, hardcore techno, ambient, krautrock, '60s psychedelica, and more. Previously Dougans, as [a=Humanoid], had a UK Top 10 hit with [r=13628]. Together as FSOL, they scored a major crossover success with [r=6352]. Their first full-length [r=27552] charted their dancefloor-friendly early career, after which FSOL moved into deeper, more album-oriented world. [r=83318] was a double-disc set spanning long stretches of breakbeat-flavored ambience. It was followed by [r=35401] which added hip-hop, trip-hop, industrial textures, and bleak urban imagery into their mix of influences. Their [r=154267] album compiled music from their ISDN-uplinked radio broadcasts from the mid-1990s. After Dead Cities came out in 1996, they felt like they were moving in the wrong direction and they dropped off the radar after the [r=1633800] mix in mid 1997. After a 4 year long hiatus in which they were surrounded by rumors of insanity and drug addiction (whereas the real situation was mercury poisoning from teeth fillings and some soul-searching travels), the [r=97752] concept remix album came out in 2001, followed by the full-length [r=93342] and more material under the Amorphous Androgynous name. In March 2007 they finally went independent and launched FSOLDigital.com releasing dozens of unreleased material (under the [l=From The Archives] series), as well as old and new material from their other aliases. One of the most anticipated albums in ambient history, [r=1145416] got released 13 years since its recording, and then Environments continued as a series, the first volumes were reproduced old material blended with new neoclassical material. By the time they reached [r=6066849] in 2014, all recorded material was brand new.
