scoundrel, May 18, 2004

If Accelerator is the Future Sound of London’s take on techno, then Lifeforms is their take on ambient. But instead of stillness, the ambience here is constantly in motion, with new sounds and textures weaving their way through the music. If you don’t like a certain sound, don’t worry, it’ll change in just a few seconds. But how could anyone not like the processed piano of “Dead Skin Cells” or the eerie vocals on “Among Myselves.” There’s much more darkness on the second disc -- the electro of “Spineless Jelly” or the melancholy acoustic guitar on “Cerebral.” “Vit” throws in some harsher tones (sampled from Speedy J, if I’m not mistaken), but it’s smoothed out by the time the housey “Omnipresence” comes around. An astonishingly dense and accomplied album. A must-have in every collection.
