"Cascade" is the first single from the British electronic music duo Future Sound of London's second album, Lifeforms (1994). The record entered the Dance Singles Chart at number 6 on 6 November 1993.[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
[edit | edit source]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.[5]
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".[6]
