THE AMORPHOUS ANDROGYNOUS 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: For the first time in a while, the Future Sound of London have slapped on their psychedelic rock-inspired alias The Amorphous Androgynous and have offered up a brand new record. They're describing it as both a compilation (it's officially part of their legendary A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series) and a set of remixes of their new single; in reality, it's a kaleidoscopic, mind-altering artist album (they produced or remixed every track) whose ebbing and flowing movements variously doff a cap to psychedelia, prog rock, kosmiche, funk rock and electronica. With its recurring melodic themes, countless samples and subtle stylistic shifts, it feels like a 21st century rock opera, albeit one created with a colossal cast-list of guest musicians (including one Paul Weller). Brilliantly bonkers in the best possible way.

Review: Another crate-digging delight by the Amorphous Androgynous with their latest cosmic-disco compilation for Monstrous Bubble Recordings! This stuff is for any music aficionado looking for that ultimate oddity, the sort of diverse musical selection which contains the same thread of sound across different eras and genres. In collaboration with Australia's Festival Records and RSD 2015, the AA have put together a double LP comprising the headiest sort of music around, and from Tame Impala to Air and Cybotron, this is the sort of thing you want to listen through and trough, no skips or shuffles but simply letting it play from beginning to the end...hopefully on a beautiful beach somewhere in the ether...
