the Amorphous Androgynous-NEW ALBUM-the Peppermint Tree

[cubeheadcubs]

so what if your here because of noel galagher or ya were listenin to this before everyone seems to be a fan so stop bringin your negativity and juvinile squables here and just enjoy the music

[oasishaun]

First time of listening I like it.....(Massive Oasis fan) i can see why Noel Gallagher likes it very 60,s phsycadelic stuff Lennon,ie Strawberry fields,nice.

[SomaXu]

I was here 3 years ago. Now I'm back here because of Noel Gallagher.

[friendlier]

@SomaXu This is what Oasis should sound like now.

[gabriel6003]

it seems a chemical brothers track...........!! Anyway FSOL are completely genius !!

[sonicattack77]

it does,nt matter who was first or why you listen, the point is to listen and change... not to think your special cos you' discovered the music before anyone else... if thats how you think you,ve missed the point of the message.... anyway JESUS is LORD :0)

[kenzd266]

Anybody else listening to this just because Noel Gallagher likes them?!

[OasisKid99]

@kenzd266

Yep, wouldn't have known who these guys were if not for Noel and the "Falling Down" remix. These guys are fucking extraordinary.

[karaloca]

@OasisKid99 I've been buying their records since hearing 'Papua New Guinea" in '89.

So I'd love to have said it was the other way around.

Unfortunately I can't escape those two puppet faced wankers no matter how hard I try.

"You gotta roll with it

You gotta take your time

You gotta say what you say

Don't let anybody get in your way

'Cause it's all too much for me to take"

Genius? Fuck off.

[OasisKid99]

@karaloca Take the time to make some sense Of what you want to say And cast your words away upon the waves Sail them home with acquiesce On a ship of hope today And as they land upon the shore Tell them not to fear no more Say it loud and sing it proud today And then dance if you want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they wanna go All we know is that we don't know How it's gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't make us understand

[OasisKid99]

@karaloca We're all part of the Masterplan... Say it loud and sing it proud today... I'm not saying right is wrong It's up to us to make The best of all the things that come our way Coz everything that's been has past The answer's in the looking glass There's four and twenty million doors On life's endless corridor Say it loud and sing it proud and they... Will dance if they want to dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go Which way they wanna go

[OasisKid99]

@karaloca

All we know is that we don't know

How it's gonna be

Please brother let it be

Life on the other hand won't make you understand

Why we're all part of the Masterplan

[kenzd266]

@karaloca SETTLE!

infact after this years v fest letdown[ for others] i know i won't support oasis by going to see them, shame i'd never seen oasis, loved 'em in the early years too, noel mate , your fans really should come first, sorry! Unlike AA who have another new fan, and hopefully i will see again soon :))

[chabs5660]

Briliant at GreenMan Festival!!!!

[Billbaileyisalegend]

I think Oasis used some parts of this video to make the Dig Out Your Soul disk cover! Could be wrong though.

[mcjeff1234]

you are right ,you are.

[Kuffdam73]

Anybody remember The World of Twist?

[ScaredCrows]

Every single thing FSOL and AA put out is freakin' GENIUS ... but this album is an exception ... Is the closest experience to LSD you could ever come across through music ... simply mindblowingly brilliant !!!!!

[JonaConway]

have you ever taken Lsd? because this music is good, i like it allot, but im not sure how similar to taking lsd id say it was...

[messyties]

yea man, not enuf visuals

[DanielBowden1975]

Good too your earhole

[sonicjay007]

all good stuff to fill your ears~~*

[gator055]

Noel likes em so they gotta rock!

[yajo4ever]

Noel Gallagher of Oasis fackin love this band . The Amorphous Androgynous are gonna remix Oasis next single , Falling Down

[haveguitarwilltravel]

so you read that and then deciced to check em out too then?

[johnmadden1989]

same here =D

[chasec718]

yup, haha on ultimate guitar

[yonskii]

brilliant band.

a great mix of classic psychedelia and modern electronica

[fruitfromuruguay]

great experience!!! evolveddd

[salvadory]

I have always loved this band of innovators but i find this new direction the past 8 years as completely brilliant and even more challenging than their more anbient stuff. Its like the best of 60s pyschedelia modernized for a new century. This is what music can be when it completely ignores trends and goes for the heart.

[fraublucher]

17 years later and they're still putting our brilliant music!

[iodyn]

it sort of sound like if FSOL and the Chemical Brothers were tripping on the same stuff the beatles were on... shhh dont tell the kids what it is.

[highvoltaged]

that is a correct observation :)

[terrasidius]

cool!

[dourtimes]

If you don't like the new Amorphous Androgynous stuff the answer's simple: Buy the new FSOL Environments CD. It's FSOL at their soundscaping best.

[depechemodevilla]

beautiful stuff...and im not even stoned!

[vodooochild33]

they're so brilliant

is gaz single?

[gomera222]

pretty groovy!!!!

[patrickm100]

This ALbum is AWESOME!!!!...I had no idea it was FSOL when I got this album. It is a good mix of everything!!!

[bkf192MarekNowinski]

Great,fantastic

[fogggygyrl]

Thanx for the sweet tunes and videos. :)

[cehas]

Awesome.. can't wait for the movie! This is like a dream come true :) 5 stars!

[cehas]

Awesome.. can't wait for the movie! This is like a dream come true :) 5 stars!

[multiversity]

don't like PROG but keep coming back for more hey ?? .seriously dude I welcome your opinion being diifferent to mine . .free and all that . the world would be a boring place etc etc .I just see a teensy weesy bit of a contradiction in what you r sayin here . .

[freeconstruction]

I think a lot of peeps got stuck in the electronica scene in the 90s and they're welcome to stay there( its there choice) but its a BIG world OUT there and I welcome AA exploring it cos I am TOO . . if u hear Cobain speak he got bored of faceless instrumental music and wanted to try something different . .ALL POWER to him ..it seems to me that dance and electronica died as a revolutionary force . .I'm sure tho when they're ready FSOL will deliver a killer album !!

[grannycorp]

I never said that they should stick to the old style (which was nebulous and far removed from much of 'the electronica scene of the 90s) and frankly they can do what they like.

However, I don't like prog, and that's entirely my opinion. AA's output in recent years IS prog, multiversity! Gary himself described the Isness as

"expressing some prog rock, psychedelic, hugely produced music," only last year in an interview with the Remix website (Google it).

[multiversity]

I'll ask again . .have you actually heard the Peppermint Tree in its entirity ?? the Isness was 2001 !!! this is 2008 . .and I doubt if Cobain would simply describe it as PROG . . I certainly don't think it is . .it straddles every genre . . anyway to denounce PROG is to denounce a major period of great experimental music . .yes there was some tosh but isn't there in any genre ?? Yes I agree they were 'nebulous' from the 90s electronica scene but as I said this is AA and they have many projects

[grannycorp]

Sorry, I hate 99 per cent of prog and that's that. Get over it man!

Sorry, maaan ;-).

I did like the recent Stakker Humanoid mixes that appeared to be done by FSOL in disguise though so I'm certainly not giving up on them. Each to his own, eh?

[multiversity]

OVER IT ?? I don't care whether you like PROG or not . .but to criticise others cos they don't close themselves off to something is what strikes me as funny . . PROG IS VAST BUT YOU DENOUNCE it all and then criticise FSOL for acknowledging that there were some great things that emerged from it . .who got the PROBLEM ?? YOU my maaaan ! YOU !! Genesis/King Crimson/Amoon Duul/Mahavishnu Orch/Aphrodites Child . .go and listen cos thats the problem . .you haven't !!!!! OPEN UP !!

[grannycorp]

Not liking the direction a band takes is not wrong.  Ragging on someone for doing so is illogical. I've never said anyone here is 'wrong' for not sharing my OPINION. I just don't like it myself.

And, I said I liked 1 per cent of prog (early Tangerine Dream mainly). I didn't denounce it all.

[multiversity]

oh don't stretch yourself . .I don't care if you like 1 per cent. 1 per cent of what?YOU HEARD IT ALL then . . .EXPERT ?? . .very generous thesis on the history of PROG . PROFESSOR PROG! it seems to me that FSOL are open to exploring everything . . you however criticize from a point of limitation . . I wouldn't want you Dj'in at any party I go to MAAAN . .think it would be pretty dull . .no sexy groovy funky PSYCHEDEDLIC weirdness to make the hips wiggle and the head spin ..PEACE!

[grannycorp]

So are you Gary or Brian?

Here's something I'd like you 'open up' to...

James Blunt.

He's brilliant and forward looking.

What's that? You don't like him?

Sorry, you haven't heard enough of him or other singer songwriters of his kind to make an informed decision therefore I decry your opinion. Just open up will ya?

[multiversity]

ah that's different . you said you hated a genre . . PROG . .if you said you hated FOLK or Punk or electronic I would decry your opinion also cos if you explore there's good experimental shit everywhere . .these genres are just simplifications for idiots . .James Blunt. . .at the moment I've heard about 5 songs and I will only appraise what I've heard to date . . so far 0/5 I like .but never say never !! .so you're still only illustrating how open I am . .the question is YOU ?

[multiversity]

James Blunt is HORRIBLY unique . .singers of his KIND ????like who . . . .?? even Damien Rice is unique/different imo. .. you're hanging yourself . . . . .you simplify the world by grouping and seeing things as categories . .I stay open cos then you discover surprising SHIT . .If I believed genre classifications I wouldn't have found FSOL .what are they 'intelligent techno/ambient . . do me a favour !!

[grannycorp]

Newsflash: Not everyone is John Peel.

People like what they like and generally have narrow tastes partly because they don't have time to spend hours and hours seeking out and listening to music.

I like a lot of stuff actually from (sorry to categorise but there's a word limit on YouTube comments) electronica/downbeat to blues to some country msuic which I grew up listening to.

[multiversity]

what . dead u mean ??? no you're right I'm living and breathing . .making the most of it while I can . . trippin on findin great sounds and great peeps and travellin not believin the simplifications made about everything . . genres . yeh but I understand it's an essential tool for narrowing it down . .defo not coming to a downbeat party ha ha !!

[freeconstruction]

well said multiverse .I would say that FSOL simply consider themselves experimental and NOT electronic and the history of experimental music stretches far wider than tangerine dream and brian eno and electronica .hearing their radio shows the AA influences are vast from amon duul/aphrodites child/donovan/pink floyd to ananda shankar/miles davis etc sure there might be a bit of humour ( a good thing ) but its EXOTIC and actually very ORIGINAL . .UNCOOL influences ??? YOU JOKE ME !!

[multiversity]

I think its great they've spread their net of influences . .I love their radio shows a real education in across the board sounds . .u obviously like electronic but there's so much music to dig and they are diggin it from Indian to funk to folk . .but they re-construct it in a totally unique way IMO. . . but hell I ain't trying to convert no-one . .U don't like PROG u keep sayin' but this ain't PROG . . !!!! Anyway COOL ain't cool . .I like warm !!

[grannycorp]

Oh goodie another album of psychedelic pissing about. The joke's getting a bit thin now guys. Still nice editing there

/puts on Mountain Goat and gently weeps.... like a guitar...in space...maaaaan.

[multiversity]

oh goodie another open mind . . .grannycorp you are a book that has already been written if you OPENED UP and actually listened to this album you would hear a band burning the FLAME strongly for invention NOT pissing around . . that these guys can produce some of the best electronic music and now the most forward thinking psych electronic rock shows how great they are . go to fsoldigital and download 5 YES 5 FSOL archive albums then you don't need to criticize them trying new directions

[grannycorp]

I guess I just don't like prog but I do like FSOL. It's not about opening your mind - this is just rehashing sixties pschedelica using new tech and Caribou, Jim Noir etc are doing a far better job of that. If Gary and Brian decided that 50s rockabilly was the way forward would you follow them then?

[multiversity]

you've actually heard the album then ?? or 5 minutes here ? they have about ten projects on the go at fsoldigital lots of FSOL goodies so no need to beef about this ONE . . no I'm not a blind follower . I've listened more than most to 60s psychedelia /experimental . .+ this IS oRIGINAL . .no Floyd/ Shankar etc etc album sounds like this FACT !!!!!!!! Somehow I don't think 50s rockabilly there's not a SONIC studio aspect so that's a bad example . .yes there are references but that's cool too

[multiversity]

funny Lifeforms with its Klaus Schulze/Eno/tangerine Dream (70s)references is future but Amorphous is categorised by some as retro .. look at Duffy/Devendra Banhart/Amy Winehouse/the folk revival/Six Organs/lots of 60s references but then Oasis/Blur/Ride/Happy Mondays also loved the 60s Amorphous seem to be one of the only bands tho to really go 'out there' with lyrics/sound/ spirituality/humour . .hallelujah it's much needed+ v.POST modern ! Lookin forward to a new FSOL album tho for sure

[grannycorp]

Yes but Tangerine Dream et al were cool and futuristic sounding which is why Lifeforms was good.

The influences they are drawing on here are not cool IMO. It's like FSOL listened to all the jibes about them being the new prog rockers and made a sly joke about it. The joke's wearing thin now really.

[Waxthumper]

Hit the road square.

[Mesaru36]

i never gonna buy nothing via internet so why you don't relase this album just as usual.

great job anyway.

Gaz is the best.

[obstinadoxdream]

the new «Pink Floyd»s

[Waxthumper]

You can't expect anything less than mind blowing from Gaz and Brian and as usual, they deliver.

[bardofely]

Watched this at Myspace and came over to find you here and add to favourites and a playlist and give you a top rating - in other words I love it!

[bogdy72000]

being addicted to the feeling of your creation i got rid of other addictions in time and i realized that I have complete control when I accept the fact that I have no control. maybe you can rest now, you made a beatiful video ! now I feel more inspired int this psychedelic experience that life is . 10x

[ericlehto]

Sweet!

[flyingwhitedots]

W.O.W.

looking forward to the album :)

[bassscadet]

Awsome, cant wait to get it

[cehas]

OOOOOOh yeah.
