manmower Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sam Shepherd will release his first full-length on November 6th through his own label/imprint Pluto. In previewing the seven-track release, an edit of Silhouettes (I, II, III) - an eleven-minute album track - has been shared as the album's lead single. I love how jazzy the preview is... this may well turn out to be a very interesting debut. http://www.floatingpoints.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just got this in an e-mail from Luaka Bop (he's releasing the album on his own label but I think Luaka Bop will be distributing it in the US): Tomorrow, August 26, Floating Points will debut the live version of Silhouettes (I, II & III) together with an 11-piece ensemble (!!) at the magnificent Fort Christo Punto, at Dimensions Festival, in Croatia, The show will be streamed live around the world from 2.30pm EST, via Boiler Room.

Salvatorin Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think I first heard floating points with his remix of daedelus. He's awesome. It almost sounds like Daedelus on that song? Alfred Darlington has a distinct bass voice. Sounds super brainfeeder all the way. Sounds like miguel-atwood ferguson string arrangements, maybe thundercat on bass?

beerwolf Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Never really been into the jazzier end of the spectrum of electronic music. But I quite like Floating Points, he just seems to tread the perfect path of both realms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This is a lovely release. If this is jazzy then I like jazzy electronic music. It's more on the flylo end of that spectrum of jazz-tinged electronic music I guess. I alway associate "jazzier stuff" as anything akin to mid-90s through early 00s Ninja Tune / upbeat trip-hop stuff which was great at the time but now stuff like that I avoid usually - you know fedora wearing late 30s dude who says he likes "chillout music" kind of stuff.

beerwolf Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I know exactly what you mean The word 'jazz' just flashes up warning signs for me. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I bagged the flac from bleep, just on a whim without hearing any previews. Just like the good old days, where you would take a punt on choosing a record by using instinct and a keen sense of guile. Seems as though I still possess The Craft. It's a fantastic record. *pats myself smugly on back* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Have been sleeping under a rock, but glad to have finally woken up to floating points. Really like his eclectic approach and his sound. More please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Papillon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Beautiful album! Love the final track 'Peroration Six' in particular: https://soundcloud.com/floatingpoints/peroration-six Yeah this track is ace. This guy has been around for a while, his essemble record was my favorite but you could tell he was going to be good right from the start when he remixed four tet, and little dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 I passed on the (expensive) vinyl this time but did eventually get the digital. To be honest Floating Points tends to be 'good but not great' to me but this one's getting better with every play, kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 His recent BBC essential mix was very good. Starts off jazzy, goes disco then techno. Nice tunes throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
