Reviews & Discussion
Flawless, Timeless, Breathtaking... appropriate words to describe this masterpiece of audio stimulus. FSOL combines organic with synthetic in such a way that only masters of their game could. Whether your enjoying a day at the beach or on your way home after a long night. Lifeforms inspires and uplifts and always has you guessing. An essential album for anyone who loves Ambient music.
Favorites include the title track, "Among Myselves", "Ill Flower", "Room 208"- hell, every track on here is a masterpiece. Trivia- check out what sounds like a lengthy sample of Kenny Larkin's "Lifeforms" (Pod EP off Buzz) in the second part of "Vit".
