Lifeforms is a 1994 double album by experimental electronica group The Future Sound of London. It has become their most well known and well liked records and is considered an important and influential classic of avante garde electronic music that was able to reach into the mainstream and still grab people with singles like "Cascade" and "Lifeforms".[1]

FSOL created this around the same time as they were finishing Tales of Ephidrina and the more complex, ambient direction they were taking resulted in Lifeforms.[2]. The artwork also progressed from previous works, with soon to be familiar images of the "witch girl" Shaueen Ta, and the "spike" model - sometimes referred to as the Electronic Brain - appearing on the sleeve for the first time.

The album was certified Silver (over 60,000 units sold) by British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
