Cascade (song)

"Cascade" is the first single from Future Sound of London's 1994 album Lifeforms. It is a series of variations on the song "Cascade", all different from the album's version as is customary for most FSOL singles.[1] Garry Cobain said that the band "saw it as a great opportunity to write another album, but based around one song."[2]

Cascade 2020

In September 2020 FSOL released "Cascade 2020", an album that is a reimagination of the "Cascade" single from 1993. It includes recreations of "Cascade: Part 1" and "Cascade: Part 4", as well as two new parts of the piece (sixth and seventh) and nine other new tracks that are separately titled.[3]

The result was described as "a sprawl of gloopy acid downbeats, spine-tracing trance arps, intergalactic steppers techno ballistics and a ravishing jungle mix, reconnecting strands of arcane prog rock into dub and computer music".[4]
