The Future Sound Of London (also known as FSOL) emerged from the ambient electronic music scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their unique blend of organic electro-acoustic soundscapes. Originally conceived as an immersive audio- visual experience, they embraced the realms of music, art and computer animation wholeheartedly. The release of their album Lifeforms in 1993 redefined modern classical, ambient, electronic and experimental music and, following the release of Dead Cities in 1996, they expanded their vision, with the first fully blown global ISDN transmissions of experimental sound and moving images to galleries, venues and radio stations worldwide.
