From an interview in Future Music magazine (or was it Computer Music?), they said they wanted to release it under the FSOL name, but the record company thought that it would hurt sales because it didn't fit in with past FSOL releases.
It was future music. I read it in the newsagent, as I wanted to get jockey slut for the mr scruff piece and didn't want to buy two expensive music mags for 2-3 pages of interest in each.
Anyway, record label games aside, I absolutely love this album and I think it's damn near brilliant. This is one of those albums that I was unsure of at first but quickly got better by every listen. My sole has needed this kind of music for a long time but I was too stubborn to realize it. Crap, I cry nearly every time I hear "Divinity". That's how close it hits home.
Yes This album is brilliant. Amazing. Beautiful. But then I like pink floyd too, so maybe that's why i tolerated it enough to let it grow on me. btw, in the UK it's released as "amorphous androgynous", but a sticker on the cd says "future sound of london present..." -- "It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emporer has no clothes.
