"First recognized as the dance duo behind such club hits as "Stakker" (as Humanoid) and "Papua New Guinea," Future Sound of London have since become one of the most acclaimed and respected international experimental ambient groups, incorporating elements of techno, classical, jazz, hip-hop, electro, industrial, and dub into expansive, sample-heavy tracks, often exquisitely produced and usually without easy precursor. Notoriously enigmatic and often disdainful of the press, the group's Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans have worked their future-is-now aesthetic into a variety of different fields, including film and video, 2- and 3-D computer graphics and animation, the Internet, radio broadcast, and, of course, recorded music. Although they usually disdain their earlier work as play-for-pay clubfare not representative of their contemporary musical vision, many of the thematic concerns of their earlier twelve-inches and their first, heavily dance-oriented LP, Accelerator, have followed them into their more recent work. Usually filed under "ambient," that work is often much more than that, drawing from the history of experimental electronic music with a relentlessness that has helped to push the calmer elements of that genre's reputation into decidedly more difficult directions. The pair have also grown in repute as remixers, obliterating tracks by Curve, Jon Anderson, David Sylvian & Robert Fripp, and Apollo 440 and rebuilding pieces of almost majestic complexity with the remnants. The duo's later works, Lifeforms, ISDN, Dead Cities and the My Kingdom EP among them, are important stopping points on the road of rabid hybridization characteristic of post-rave European experimental electronica (ambient, jungle, trip-hop, ambient dub, etc.), and the pair's somewhat punk rock attitude despite their success has done much to underscore the scene's underground roots.

Cascade is another wicked ass tune

Godly ambient project... The "single" version of Papua New Guenia, My Kingdom, and Cascade (and not the album versions) are plain brilliant...

Even though it is not anything dance, more total ambient the song

Everyone in the world is doing something without me
