The Future Sound Of London - Accelerator



Label: Hypnotic
Released: 1996
Style: Techno, Ambient

"It's easy to forget just how influential FSOL were way back in the early 90's, and while much of their classic material from the 'Lifeforms' era has aquired a slightly dubious reputation given the plethora of New-Age visuals and sound-textures employed at the time, 1991's unmatched 'Accelerator' still stands as testament to their pioneering participation in the evolution of electronic music. You'll all know the played-to-death Papua New Guinea, but amongst the obscure Prince samples and "ambient" production you'll also find some mind-boggling House/Techno variants - most notably the killer Chicago House anthem "While Others Cry", the proto-bleepage of the excellent "Pulse State" and the quasi-hardcore loveliness of 'Expander'. This new edition also comes with a bonus disc lumped into the package featuring 10 (Count 'em!) remixes of Papua New Guniea - making this a bit of a bargain as well as a classic slice of early British electronic music." - Boomkat
