'Public Image (First Issue)' by Public Image Ltd. Recorded in England Sept 78. Public Image Ltd would like to thank absolutely no body, thank you. It is considered one of the pioneering records in the development of post-punk. I believe that.

Public Image Ltd are an English post-punk band formed by singer John Lydon, guitarist Keith Levene, bassist Jah Wobble, and drummer Jim Walker in 1978. The group's personnel has changed frequently over the years; Lydon has been the sole constant member.

In 1979, NME reported that a court in Malta had halted sales of the album because the lyrics of "Religion" offended public morals and decency.

Upon its release, Public Image: First Issue received a 2- (out of 5) star review in Sounds. Reviewer Pete Silverton said that the single is the "Only wholly worthwhile track on the album." He dubbed the rest of the songs as "morbid directionless sounds with Rotten's poetry running just behind it." Nick Kent of NME was similarly negative, quipping that "unfortunately the 'image', public or otherwise, is a good deal less limited than many of the more practical factors involved in this venture."

However, the album is now considered a groundbreaking post-punk classic. AllMusic critic Uncle Dave Lewis stated that the record "helped set the pace" for the post-punk genre, adding that it was "among a select few 1978 albums that had something lasting to say about the future of rock music." Pitchfork's Stuart Berman wrote, "First Issue's industrial-strength stompers anticipate the scabrous art-punk of the Jesus Lizard and Slint, while Levene's guitar curlicues on 'Public Image' are the stuff Daydream Nations are made of." Public Image: First Issue is, along with Metal Box, included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
 
Amorphous Androgynous ‎– Tales Of Ephidrina

"After the first album "Accelerator" The Future Sound of London released an 8 track mini-album "Tales of Ephidrina" under their "Amorphous Androgynous" pseudonym in 1993.
On this album the danceable early 90's "rainforest techno" elements are more minimised and turned into psychedelic ambience filled sessions, which means there are less danceable moments.
The sound ambience of "Tales of Ephidrina" has improved a lot and it is starting to feel like modern FSOL music"
