About
Dead Cities is a seminal 1996 album by experimental electronic music group The Future Sound of London. Though almost without any lyrics to speak of, most of the first half of the album (with the exception of "Her Face Forms In Summertime") is dark and full of well structured malevolence in that its songs combine synthetic sounds with samples to create an apocalyptic, dystopian atmosphere, the second half of the disc is rather more relaxed however and FSOL combine the darkness with more of their now familiar complex, ambient techniques to create an odd, peaceful yet intriguing atmosphere.
