You got me curious at "psychedelic" so I researched. I'm pretty sure I'm unaware of Amorphous Androgynous but some of this album art looks vaguely almost maybe sorta familiar. One album labeled as psychedelic rock and downtempo so that's interesting. What are they like?

I'll listen to the one here when I'm on my desktop.

Thanks! They're a major side project of The Future Sound of London.

Originally described as Downtempo, Ambient Techno/Ambient House/Ambient Dub music, the project also ventures into territories of Psychedelic Rock, Neo-Psychedelia, Progressive Rock, Space Rock, and Psychedelic Folk.

They're characterized as abstract, futuristic, rhythmic, eclectic, meditative, ethereal, aquatic, sampledelia, mellow, atmospheric, natural, repetitive, surreal, and mysterious.

I have 142 of their albums including the complete A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble Exploding in Your Mind mix sessions.

Enjoy!

Ah okay that's probably why familiar album art I've dabbled in The Future Sound of London, have been meaning to dive into them further.

I'm listening to Adele's "Hello", but only because I'm sitting in a bar and that's what's playing.

I'm listening to Adele's "Hello", but only because I'm sitting in a bar and that's what's playing.

Not the same song, but my Adele story is that I was working at a thrift store in 2011; they played top 40 radio and I swear they would play that Adele song "Someone Like You" like at least 2-3 times every shift. As a retail worker I'm used to hearing the same songs over and over, but that song was just so slow and long and dirge-like that it just felt like my good mood and energy were sucked from me whenever it came on.

Since then I have had some kind of involuntary feeling of dread creep over me every time I hear the beginning of it.

I have a similar story, only it was 2005, working at 7/11 and it was an album of slow Eva Cassidy covers.

Fields of Gold sticks out 😅

I don't like Eva Cassidy.
