The Future Sound Of London

Ever heard of 'The Future Sound Of London' or 'FSOL' as they are called in the shortform? No? You haven't? Well, basically, FSOL is an electro-music ambiance-trance-dance band, formed in the U.K, naturally.
FSOL are pretty much everything you would never think of . Their range of music spans wide .... so wide in fact, every single album sounds different. And that's why I like 'em so much. The Future Sound Of London are not content to rest on the laurels of the music of the month...the music of the year... the music of the decade.... They are timeless and original, with no style of their own.
In fact, this whole slab of information I just served up, kinda backs up the reason why they also adopted the nick-name, 'Amorphous Androgynous'. No idea what those two very fascinating and deeeeeeeeep words mean? I do. Amorphous refers to any object with no firmly defined solidarity. For example, I'm sure you've heard of the oddities of custard, and its ability to have the properties of a solid and a liquid at the same time? Custard is 'Amorphous'.
Androgynous, a slightly more..... 'used' word , means something with no gender. Like toast. Yes.
And so, you''l see how very cleverly and wisely the name 'Amorphous Androgynous' was picked out.

Across the last 10 years or so, FSOL has increased dramatically in popularity, and their most famous musical work can be found on a few quite famous video games for the Sony PlayStation: 'Wipeout 2097' , or 'Wipeout XL' as it is called in the good ole' US of A features 3 tracks by the band . These are the very famous 'Herd Killing' , 'We Have Explosive' and 'Landmass'.
In 'Wipeout Fusion' for the PlayStation 2 , a remix of the equally famous 'Papua New Guinea' is found.

The point is, The Future Sound Of London is a unique band like... well, not many others. They attend to people's needs for change and differentiation. Back to my original question, 'Ever heard of 'The Future Sound Of London' ? ' , if your answer was yes, welcome to the FSOL fanclub, my friend. The fact that there aren't many of us kinda goes with the reason why FSOL unoficially fizzled out and disbanded recently. The Future Sound Of london's goals to get people to recognise things outside of the norm never fully kicked off, and failed. Only a few hundred thousand people actually understood FSOL before they disbanded. Me, for example. Most people who like FSOL didn't actually understand the goals of the very band music they were listening to!
Still, FSOL's productions remain timeless, and omnipresent, meaning they will never fade. Music for future people!

"Alright... let's see what we can see. Everybody online? Lookin' good!"

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
