ISDN is a music album by experimental electronica artists The Future Sound of London which was released in two different versions in 1994 and 1995. The music on the album is edited together from various live broadcasts that the band had broadcast to radio stations all over the world using ISDN, which at the time was a relatively new technology.



Stylistically, the record features some of the ambient of their previous work, but brings in elements of hip-hop, trip-hop and acid jazz.1



The two released versions have different track listings and cover art. The limited edition, a 10,000-copy pressing released in December 1994, has a black cover. The later release, which first appeared in June 1995, has a white cover with black writing, and a different track listing.



The album contains numerous references to several films such as Repo Man in “Eyes Pop – Skin Explodes – Everybody Dead” is a line spoken by the character J. Frank Parnell, and the track “It’s My Mind That Works” samples Miller saying “you know how everybody’s into weirdness right now” and “it’s all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.” There are also a samples from the sci-fi epic movie Aliens in the track “The Far Out Son Of A Lung And The Ramblings Of A Madman”, along with robotic sounds and laser-fire from the film “The Black Hole” in the track “Just a Fuckin Idiot”, and samples from films Escape From New York, Predator and The Exorcist II scattered throughout the record.
