Alice in Ultraland is a 2005 album by experimental electronica group Amorphous Androgynous, which is a side project of The Future Sound of London.
The album
Like the duo's previous album, The Isness, Alice in Ultraland has a psychedelic feel but has more electronica tracks. It features more of a funk and blues influence than The Isness.
It also includes an extended version of the discarded Isness track "Yes My Brother" (titled "The Prophet" here).
