Accelerator

by The Future Sound of London

The 1766th greatest album of all time

Accelerator (1991) by The Future Sound of London blends techno, acid house and ambient into a leftfield electronic set that pairs propulsive, sample-driven rhythms with densely layered synth pads and dubby textures. The music shifts between club-oriented beats and more spacious, psychedelic passages, emphasizing texture, atmosphere and experimental production techniques. As an early FSOL release, it illustrates the duo's interest in marrying dancefloor elements with ambient and experimental sound design.
