Passenger 4, by FSP and DAT 6 tracks Running time: 1:01:45 Released: 01/2009
$9.99

Before I heard this CD I thought that these two acts would make an unlikely combination. The last album by FSP 'Atmospheric Conditions' was an all out Berlin School fest wonderfully overdosing on sequences and retro sounds but with DAT I expect a more measured and restrained approach. In fact the first track is just by DAT so I was anticipating some carefully crafted scene setter. Tinkling bell chimes and dark drones provide just the sort of start to 'Pre-Flight' I was expecting. A slow sequence starts up less than two minutes in however which is then replaced by a... more info

British Aisles 3 tracks Running time: 2:16:41 Released: 05/2008

Double album Disc 1: Track 1 Disc 2: Tracks 2-3 On this live album, recorded in the UK in May 2008, Free System Projekt catapult the audience back over 30 years to the heady days of Tangerine Dream's cathedral performances of the mid 70's. Their massive modular systems pulsated, lights flashed, 'tron style voices soared, and atmospherics cajoled. The audience was totally captivated, and you can now hear why. It was an awe-inspiring performance, captured here in its totality and presented in digital lossless quality remastered directly from the soundboard recording (the background "atmos" during the early sections of the first set was... more info

Narrow Lane 2 tracks Running time: 1:18:02 Released: 04/2008
$9.99
$11.24 |
Wonderful deep dark drones, like some alien craft coming in to land, are juxtapositioned by soft eerie mellotron. This would have felt right at home on Tangerine Dream's 'Sorcerer' album. Atmospheric starts are nothing new to a Berlin School style track but this really is top draw stuff which sets us up nicely for the absolutely astonishingly awesome Rubycon style sequence. It weaves and morphs this way and that supported by the most gorgeous backing embellished by soft flutey synth. The sequence moves up a couple of registers, becoming increasingly manic as it does so (by now there is also... more info

Gent 4 tracks Running time: 1:11:00 Released: 10/2007
$9.99
$11.24 |
Next to Redshift, FSP are the most popular band amongst our customers, so a new album is something of an event. 'Desolate Landscape' just oozes atmosphere as a low brooding rumble is joined by sinister undulating drone. Gradually things get more intense, like a vast turbulent cloud of evil coming down to Earth engulfing all before it. In the fourth minute a sequence can be heard low in the mix like the frightened pulse of some fleeing animal. Another sequence in deployed then another as if an opposing force is joining battle with the darkness. The pulsations keep coming forming... more info

Moyland 6 tracks Running time: 1:05:55 Released: 03/2006
$9.99
$11.24 |
Moyland Part 1 was recorded at the third Hampshire Jam and certainly brings back some very pleasant memories. Lovely Mournful tron / organ type sounds are punctuated by the occasional cosmic effect. These give way to lonesome flutey synth and big bass rumbles. As far as atmospheric intros go it really doesn't get any better than this. A very deep and equally melancholy lead line strikes up, grasping your very soul. This is pure class. The rather dense nature of the track is kept up as a wonderful thick steamroller of a sequence makes a bludgeoning entrance. It increases in pace and a second even faster one joins it... more info

Impulse 2005 7 tracks Running time: 1:11:38 Released: 02/2005
$9.99
$11.99 |
What we have here is Free System Project's first ever album, when it was all down to Marcel Engels (Ruud Heij and Frank van der Wel not joining until the third album). It was recorded between June and August 1996. All the tracks are prefixed 'Impulse' and 'The Closening' features upbeat sequencing and genuinely strong melodic themes. The track lasts almost 10 minutes, the first 7 dominated by electronic rhythms and searing synths. Then the mood changes as poignant chords are overlaid by piano refrains underlining the versatility available here. 'The Nightmare' presents luscious synth pads before embarking on another... more info

Protoavis 3 tracks Running time: 1:15:26 Released: 04/2004
$9.99
$11.99 |
With each subsequent FSP release, their sound goes backward in time. Pointless Reminder was loaded with vintage sounds, but its more structured approach was in keeping with Tangerine Dream from 1980 or so. Atmospheric Conditions moved back to perhaps 1977. Now, Protoavis takes us fully back into the freeform experimental days of 1974 – not of Phaedra so much as Tangerine Dream's long space epics from bootleg recordings such as Live Improvised. In this case, stepping backward is definitely a step in the right direction. I scarcely can imagine Marcel Engels and company improving much further, though they continue to... more info

Atmospheric Conditions 9 tracks Running time: 2:17:21 Released: 06/2002

Double album. Disk 1: Tracks 1-4 Disk 2: Tracks 5-9 At last re-issued giving those fans who missed out first time around a chance to own this totally fantastic double CD. When Dave Law asked me to re-run his original review I instead offered to give my perspective on this album which I've now had a chance to fully absorb and appreciate. Firstly it's confession time. I initially greeted FSP's decision to tread the purely retro route with a level of dismay. The mixture of contemporary melody and retro sequencing on 'Pointless Reminder' was totally captivating and to replace it with an approach... more info

Pointless Reminder 5 tracks Running time: 0:55:51 Released: 05/1999

$11.99 |
If asked about the key elements which contribute towards a sensational EM album, I could do worse than to point at this stunning example to help explain. Brilliant sequencing and infectious melody, both portrayed with a skilful ear for how synth voices should sound, will always make me revisit an album with growing admiration. With ‘Pointless Reminder’ the admiration curve is rising exponentially. ‘Substance’ opens the set. Originally released on the single CD-R of the same name, here the track has been completely re-recorded and it is not a disappointment (a massive feat in itself considering the quality of the original).... more info
