As a huge fan of FSOL, I'm quite embarrassed to say I never got round to checking out the Archive stuff.

first 3 volumes here... http://****.blogspot.com/ ... hives.html


my older bro was a big fan, he got me into them as well as numerous other electronic & ambient artists back in the 90's... i hadn't heard the archives either, but i'm on it.


sorry for the threadjack... i always enjoy the effort put into these sampler shootouts by hardware sampler fiends.

And yeah, the FSOL archives are great. It's crazy how much music they made. All the archives are definitely from their "golden era" and you can hear it.

Definitely.

I'd start an FSOL appreciation thread but I suspect there would only be you, Crossings and myself posting in it!

Your blog post about your favourite track you've produced is great. There must be something in the water where you come from because the track is stellar.

You've pieced this sampler shootout together well. It's interesting how the crackles become more prominent as you increase the gain and halve the bandwidth. Obviously the S900 stands out as the grittiest, but they all have their own vibe.
