Cascade (song)

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

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.

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".
