I still listen to this in 2023 since first recording this and along with all their other mixes back during that experimental era of electronic music. NOTHING to this day comes even close this. NOTHING RAW. PURE AND ORIGINAL TO THIS DAY ❤👌❤️👌❤️

glad to hear someone else say this. So Ok: I think Dead Cities is the best FSOL album and is a techno masterpiece but still nice to hear someone else say it is their best work
@@markkil Thanks m8. I have recently discovered Colin Benders. And modular electronic music. Now I'm not sure Dead Cities is the best techno album.. But it's certainly FSOLs finest hour
It's literally the only album in existence that I can listen to all the way through with no interuptions. I put on my headphones, lay down, close my eyes and just disappear into the music.
Used to record them all from R1 for years and buy Mixmag. Even before R1 essential mix we used to record Stu Allen on key 103. Internet is good but as you know them days you were rewarded by the effect you put in 👍👍✊
I saw FSOL 'live' at the Essential Music Festival in Brighton around this time...they were in their studio in London, broadcasting over ISDN to the MainStage. They were on at the same time as the Orb. Incredibly fortunate to be there. They were not just musically forward for this time, they were playing to thousands over the inner-Tron when it was still dial-up for most. Risky, but genius. Between FSOL, the Orb and a fist full of chems, I can honestly say it was the one show (of dozens I have attended) in which I saw God.
Actually, I felt it wise to just listen. He knows everything anyway. He had great hair…smelled like frankincense. Since then I thought I was Holy Ghosted, but it turns out it was for the best. @@LillyAugusta
One of my first ever Essential Mix tape recordings back in the 90s and it’s as good now as it was then. Pure skills and wizardry, who does this now…. It’s just bonkers and unbelievably good. Thanks for adding!!!
Stanton Warriors essential mixes 2001 and 2004 are also amazing, and similar vibe just with better mixing and a more 4/4 type break beat structure layered throughout, where as there FSOL mixes seem to have no underlying structure or form... i.e. amorphous androgynous and a monstrous psychedelic bubble those mixes are also top and similar to the essential mixes... and FSOL's 'A COntrolled VIsta' mix tapes that are more recent, (came out a year or 2 ago), recommend giving all these a listen.
This is Toronto. The FSOL "Lifeforms" and "Dead Cities" - these were the CDs that i first time tried quality headphones with, being teenager. Was over impressed. Thank you
Great to see this on YT again... the ultimate nostalgia of the future mix of psychedelic electronic space music ... THE original and best essential mix of FSOL! 🙌🏻
...FIRST HEARD THIS BIG QUALITY MIX BACK IN 1993...IT WAS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME...IT WAS WELL IN THE ACID HOUSE ERA.....LSD...ECSTASY AND STUFF. ....BRILLIANT SOUNDS....

Some pioneering electronica from way back when I was 22 young.
I listened to FSOL in high school (mid 2000s) and completely forgot about them. Just recently re-discovered them on a long drive up to NYC from North Carolina. To say that Dead Cities was the perfect soundtrack for the drive would be an understatement.
This is so good, its 1am in the morning, I'm sitting in my hot tub watching and listening to this amazing mix and driving. Its just perfect 👌 I love the future sound of London, the video feels like GTA. Brilliant thanks 😊
FSOL Were absolutely the shit in the 90s. So many great nights listening to their albums. I'm now a big fan of the offshoot Amorphous Androgynous. Lots more Psychedlic vibes . Luv and Peace.
I remember picking up a cd at a party and thought i would give it a go and put the first track on. It was the Accelerator Album and i was totally blown away by it. Happy days.
Agreed - although I'd say, FSOL is still the business in the 2000's. Their album Yage from 2019, is still jamming. But the majority of this mix isn't even FSOL. Dissapointing.
Holy shit, I recognised that as Toronto straight away, because I literally walked that exact street last September in the same direction as the car at the beginning, just off Yonge St. Absolutely lush city.
_I suggest that you uuum reach deep down inside yourself there and (...) keep you awake just a little while longer because this transmission coming up may just uuuh... rekindle your will to live._ Intro vocal sample from Silent Running (1972), a movie that's also sampled by Carbon Based Lifeforms.
This could of been the first essential mix i actually listened to as i was in my first year of high skool in 1993 , i mean what a education i got ! i certainly wasn't learning french thats for sure
What an artist. Britain really does produce some talent. I'm also loving other various UK electronica and experimental based acts like Aphex Twin, Sqaurepusher, Autechre, Unkle, Massive Attack, Forest Swords, Allflaws
Also the Orb (adventures into the ultra world or U.F.Orb) & the KLF - the chill out album and Jimmy Caulty’s ‘Space’ album you will undoubtedly love if you love this ❤
I still well remember my student time in LONDON in the 90s with great BRIT ROCK bands and electronic acts like FSOL! For driving I often used JUNO REACTOR tracks. FSOL music is moreover for chilling, for example for walking through the park, breathing new air.
I was born a couple of years before this mix and just a couple of years after collapse of soviet union. Kind of hard to believe they were blasting bangers like this in the west back then.
An amazing out of this world mix, reminds me of another. Klf's "chillout". Both of these mixes are same league. Top draw, knock yourself out tracks. A few trip hop tracks on here.
Anyone in Los Angeles remember Jason Bentley on KROQ late Saturday nights? That's was an era of discovery that change my taste in music forever. I'm so greatful.
I was 17 years old when this was first broadcast absolutely amazing stuff so a head off its time nothing today comes close nothing turn it up !!! Lol😜😜😜💯
The horror traffic system in N America is a nightmare. Stroads, no central reservation, endless suburbs with no community or shops, restaurants or cafes, needing to drive for the slightest thing. A living nightmare.
I reckon FSOL are from the future, from cyberspace maybe. Time travel through sound only. What an epic journey through other dimensions july 2021. May it never end. 😎😎👍👍😎😎🇬🇧🇬🇧
SO INCREDIBLE ALL COMMENTS I TAPED THIS WHEN IT WAS ON THE RADIO BUT LOOKING FOR THEIR SUPERB WHEN AUTUMN LEAVES START TO FALL WHICH WAS ON THAT AND JIMI HENDRIX HOW GREAT !!. CHEERS
What," Franks , Super , Odd, Lino.83".. is that what your initials mean ? haha lol..i like them too .heehee you can tell i spent a wee while on this ..?
The Future Sound of London are the only ones in this galaxy who know about the existence of absolutely every variation of sound and how to manipulate it to produce an orgasmic combination
ME and all my mates spent the night listening to this in a nova car getting stoned what a night in crow wood park and driving down scamendens mad mile.
I haven't listened to this yet, but couldn't help recognizing at first second, the parking garage of Empire Plaza in the T-dot, turning west onto Wellington St. toward University. What a weird trip down memory lane!
Toronto resident here. I downloaded this mix around 5 years ago and, for a while, became addicted to it while driving around the city. Discovering this video gave me an eerie yet pleasant sense of deja-vu. Thanks for sharing! edit: Any recommendations similar in vibes to these FSOL Essential mixes? I enjoy FSOL albums/EPS, but these essential mixes seem more free-flowing and spontaneous, with its tangents into different sounds and sampled dialogues.
a proper dystopian psychedelic journey. futuristic spiritual otherworldly madness that sounds like it could have been made in 2040. so good. after all these years...
Skinny Puppy were just as and even more extreme electronic music and they were doing it in the mid 80's. It doesnt sound like it was that long ago either.
The track at 29:58 is 'Venus' By Space, an alias of Jimmy Cauty The KLF/The Orb... Hear it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e0ZMwKCget4.html Half of this mix sounds like the Cauty could have produce it to be fair. That's why I love the F.S.O.L...
I just recognized the Four Seasons Center and London Life building. Came on to see if anyone else had noticed this was TO too. I`d assumed it would be London. Go figure :)
I (don't really) remember this. A night in, alone, with some little paper squares. Waking from a fuzzy dream to "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside". But no, the dream continued.
