Teachings from the Electronic Brain is a compilation of songs from throughout the career of British band The Future Sound of London, and was released in 2006. The diversity of their wide range of work is even more apparent on a compilation such as this. The album also includes two songs they recorded under the name Amorphous Androgynous.[1][2][3] Despite favourable reviews in the press, the album has been unpopular with fans, who have criticised its tracklist as being lazy, drawing largely from Dead Cities, and with tracks simply fading in and out rather than being properly mixed.[4]
