Compared to the minimalist plonk typical of the genre, this is a Technicolor epic and perhaps the only ambient techno opus you'll ever need. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews

if Mozart were alive today, he'd be making music like this
Future Sound of London's Lifeforms is indeed the future of sound and music, this ambient masterpiece is far, far ahead of it's time. I know good music and this is about as good as it gets. this is probably the most important record of our time, it first graced peoples ears in 94 and sounds just as crisp today but for some reason i feel it hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves. It's title fits it perfectly, each track wanders through oblivion then springs to life with majestic melody. I would go as far as to call this album divine. It took me a little time and patience to fully appreciate this as i don't normally listen to ambient music (im more of a jazz-head) but after hearing this through and through it's one of my favorites. I would not only buy this album but also pick up a replacement just in case. PEACE

still a classic
I decided to write a review for this since I did not see too many
recent ones. This album holds a special place for me and every time I
listen to it I am reminded of worlds I had forgotton. FSOL never did
top this, but one amazing album is no small feat. This is more of a
soundscape disc so if you are wanting something similar to FSOLs more
upbeat tracks like "We Have Explosive"--stay away. The albums artwork
still effects me. I am a 3d artist, and despite being obviously dated
(technically) the art on the inner sleeve of the girl reaching out
to the weird alien orb is still a powerful image--and sums
of the themes of this album very well. I own a lot of cds
but there are a select few which will always be on rotation--Lifeforms
will always be one of them.

One of my favorite albums - Disc 1 especially
Lifeforms Disc 1 is one of my favorite albums' of all time. It paints such a dreamy scape where you can let your imagination run wild. For me, I get lost in a very comfortable place so far away from the daily grind. You can't rush through this album either, it all builds up, and for me piece # 5 is the pinnacle. Enjoy.
