Future Sounds

I've shared several releases from Amorphous Androgynous, but never anything from the originators, the Future Sound of London.

 

The Manchester duo have released music spanning a vast gamut of genres, including their unique versions of Ambient techno. First the double-disc Lifeforms with breakbeat Ambience. 

 

The Future Sound of London - Lifeforms 2xCD, Astralwerks 6113-2, 1994.
