THE EARLY 90S WERE A PROLIFIC TIME FOR BRIAN DOUGANS AND GARRY COBAIN, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON. THEIR WORK UNDER VARIOUS GUISES MENTAL CUBE, INDO TRIBE, YAGE, CANDESE, AND SEMI REAL ETC THROUGH SINGLES AND ‘PULSE’ EP’S ON JUMPIN’ & PUMPIN’ ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH WITH “PAPUA NEW GUINEA” AND THE START OF THE FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON PHENOMENA. “PAPUA NEW GUINEA” AND THEIR AWARD WINNING “ACCELERATOR” ALBUM (‘BEST DANCE ALBUM 1992’) CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE FOR THE TRANCE, AMBIENT, ELECTRONICA AND DANCE MUSIC SCENE, AND FROM THAT SAME PERIOD COMES A COLLECTION OF PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD MUSIC FEATURED HERE. THE FOUR TRACKS ON THIS “ARCHIVED” EP ARE TAKEN FROM A SERIES OF ALBUMS “FROM THE ARCHIVES” VOLUMES 1, 2 & 3”, ALL PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS FROM THE EARLY 90S. AWARENESS OF THESE TRACKS CAME ABOUT THROUGH THE FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON’S WEBSITE AND THE GUYS HAVE BEEN BOMBARDED WITH REQUESTS TO ISSUE THESE TRACKS SINCE THEY FIRST CAME TO LIGHT.
ALL TRACKS ARE CLASSIC SOUNDCAPES FROM THE GUYS, AMBIENT, ATMOSPHERIC AND EVEN DANCEFLOOR FRIENDLY ON MORE UNUSUAL TRACKS LIKES “SPACE SQUIDS”.
