Easily one of my favorite electronic acts is The Future Sound Of London. I know I've gushed over them in the past, and will again here as they deserve the praise. Here I've made just four mixes, with ideas for a few more that may or may not materialize. The first one was my attempt to pull one track off each of their releases to showcase an overview of their progression, depth, and creativity. A few notes as my mix clearly doesn't include everything. I skipped the 2008 Pulse EPs (they're included in a later mix), 2014 Artworks 1, 2007 A gigantic Globular Burst of Antistatic, We Have Explosive, My Kingdom, Accelerator or Lifeforms LP. For those I didn't find any real standout tracks, or I'd included the best track in a version from an associated EP. Next I left Archives, Environments and Calendars off as I saw those as separate entities. Here is what is left, and I really like this mix which is roughly in reverse chronological order.
I'm rather frustrated that nearly none of the songs on these four mixes are on Spotify. Hoping they work out some arrangement so FSOL can get more airplay there. I know I'd stream a lot if it were available.
