FSOL?

Hi!
FSOL was a very important band for me too...bought
Lifeforms when it came out and it sounded very very good, combining the (then) modern sound with that of my older favourites from the 70's... Dead Cities also has some excellent stuff there. Btw they sampled "Aqua" too on liferforms and plenty from "Phaedra" on Tales of Ephidrina.

No, they just use a lot of samples.

If you go to
www.whosampled.com
and search for Future Sound of London, you'll hear for yourself how they have used sampling... It's a great site and has clips both of the fsol tracks and the original sample materials... Very revealing and educating too.
