FSOL's first album (released in '91)and also one of my favorites. Their early 90s work differs a lot from their ambient techno of the mid 90s - it's comparable to the work from Moby and Orbital around the same time. Fans of their ambient style might prefer their later work. This album was probably the first techno that I listened to, so for a long time it has been the standard to which I compare other albums. The track 'Papa New Guinea' has to be one of their best known tracks and one of my all-time favorites. For the fans that like all of FSOL's work also check out their alter ego Amorphous Androgynous. -
Edited 17 years agoCalcium begs to be heard by everyone on the planet. Papua New Guinea became the worldwide underground hit. Generation Y'ers can probably recollect hearing this song at least once, although they may not know the title or author. FSOL are unlike trance or house which tends to sound spooky, angry, or happy. The sadness and precise placements of certain sounds gives the overall album a professional, timeless feel to it without the effect of cheesy and over-edited others. In future LP's FSOL become adventurous, leaving behind less interesting tunes in their wake. This is not to say that they still concoct some magnificent tracks per album. They just don't pack the levels of concentration that this one does. As with Orbital, Daft Punk, Leftfield, and Armand van Helden, it is a little disappointing that these musicians didn't attain the fame that they could have. With the mere injection of an unknown diva, these "underground" artists could have become pop icons. I feel that this album is the pinnacle of that era of underrated pop. Oh well...
