Description
Environments is generally regarded as "the great lost album" by The Future Sound Of London. It has taken on almost mythical status with the group's fan base.
Environments was due for release much sooner after the 1993 release of the UK Top 10 album hit Lifeforms, and only now is it being released back on the group's original home, Jumpin' & Pumpin' Records.
This release also comes after the recent success of the Archive series which has so far sold over 20,000 units across the different volumes and still climbing.
To re-cap, Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain began their musical partnership and friendship in Manchester, England in the mid 1980s whilst the two were studying at Manchester University. Dougans had already been making electronic music for some time when they first began working in various local clubs. In 1988, Brian embarked on a project for the Stakker graphics company. The result was Stakker Humanoid.
In the following three years the pair produced music under a variety of aliases, followed by the breakthrough classic ambient dub track Papua New Guinea in 1992, which was also the first release under the Future Sound of London moniker.
