==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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fsoldigital.com/product/cascade-2020/|title = Cascade 2020|publisher=FSOLdigital|accessdate=2023-03-08}}</ref>
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".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boomkat.com/products/cascade-2020|title = Cascade 2020|publisher=boomkat.com|accessdate=2023-03-08}}</ref>
