If you are looking for a good electronic album merge with other musical styles like ambient, world music, tribal, and of course dance, you might consider listening to this album if you haven’t discovered The Future Sound of London.  This record was originally released in 1991 as the group’s debut album and was re-released in 2002 which included several interesting tunes from the group.

Some of the songs that you probably would like are “Calcium” which could be part of any Ibiza soundtrack or compilation. You can try your catwalk skills with “Pulse State” as your background music.

Other interesting songs are “Central Industrial” which could be part of any Bjork albums, “Expander,” which is similar to “Right Here Right Now” by Fatboy Slim, and “Stolen Documents,” which has seventies groove.

Some of the music that you can dance and have a good time are “It’s Not My Problem,” the different mixes and remixes of “Papua New Guinea,” especially the Andrew Weatherall Full Length Remix. Some of the mixes in this song are quite hypnotic like the “Blue State Full Length Mix.

  1. Although people point to this and say, “FSOL before they became weird” you can still hear their ambition here. It’s more danceable and accessible, which makes it a great gateway to this great group but you can hear FSOL’s love of weird sounds and atmospherics here.

    ‘Expander” is beautiful.
