    The soundtrack of floating islands in a hazy, half-ed fantasy world of hobbits, crystals, verdant fields and hempire portals. Kris has gone on record (hoho) as being particularly proud of this album and I do feel it's his most emotional work. I don't know if I can do it justice but... FFWD is a truly resonant, melodic, other-wordly experience that is totally unmatched by anything else I've heard at least. Not even trying to engage in hyperbole: there is something absolutely peak about this album, like all heads involved gave absofuckinglutely everything and produced the sound of the other side of the looking glass. Dig around and there is a bootleg out there known as Orbert which is apparently more from the FFWD sessions.

      Any chance of this ever getting repressed on vinyl? Simply beautiful

        s up the dots between KLF ‘Chill out’ and ‘Space’ albums and tearly Orb like ‘Huge ever growing…’ ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ with its improvised collage/patchwork approach with Fripp’s guitar added. Just got one off the bay for £35 so no need to pay daft prices as they do turn up cheap.
        Fantastic!

          i've been playing this endlessly i don't know how many times by now since it landed on my collection. and still remainds one of the greatest records i have lestined to how they control Hempire 4tH track in the album 03:09 the sound is hypnotic and puts you right to the edge it's amaizing sound that you can hear so it connects to your spirit in a way that you want it to control what's destened for you to listene to music and deeply try and demand to understand what you hear as you feel. Incredibly the best of all time.

            Iridescent soundscaping, clicks and expert dubology make this one of the most under-rated ambient albums of the mid-nineties.
            Check out Robert Fripp's 'The Gates of Paradise' (1997 , Discipline Mobile Global) or Fehlmann (feat. Fripp) EP 'U-god embryo battle. overflow minus-one'(1999 apolloapollo 040) 12", for more good stuff.

              Diffuse psychedelic ambience from the Orb with Robert Fripp, FFWD's generally beatless soundscape is more likely to please fans of the Orb's trippy ambience than fans of Fripp, whose presence is hardly detectable save for a tinkly guitar loop.
