By the 1994 The Future Sound of London had put out several peak-moment rave tunes, and spacier albums that defined the backroom madness of the most hallucinatory of allnighters. There’s plenty of the latter vibe here, but what’s striking about this set of tracks originally broadcast via then hugely innovative live streams is how effortlessly it fits into the breakbeat-loving climate of its time. FSOL are 100% their trippy selves here — this is like teleporting onto the bridge of a spaceship full of ever-morphing high lifeforms — but their rolling break edits fit alongside the best contemporary work of David Holmes, Luke Vibert or anyone on the Mo’ Wax or Ninja Tune stables at the time.
