BobDobalina Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://bleep.com/ind...releaseid=33326 We're always very excited to hear word of a new Floating Points release and that is more than the case with 'Shadows', a new exploration from the brilliance that is Sam Shepherd. A collaborative EP between Floating Points and his life-long friend, Will Hunt, 'Shadows' introduces a Max/Msp patch designed by Hunt which studies drum machine and synthesizer activity to generate visuals in real-time. Musically, the release features new material from Shepherd, along with some more familiar cuts, and explores largely ambient terrain interposed with Floating Points' signature jazz and funk touches, flourishes of broken beat and the evocative vocals of Fatima. Essential. Didn't see a thread yet, though bleep seems to be pushing this pretty hard... and while it doesn't stray much from his sound template to date, my initial impression is quite favorable. Plenty of good vibes, textures, and dynamics throughout. Worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 this record is mind-blowingly good, and the LWE review is spot on. phillip sherburne also loves this, if that means anything to you. between this and the levon vincent impression of a rainstorm 12", i'm incredibly happy to hear where contemporary techno/experimental house/broken beat electronic music are all at these days, which is a lovely lovely crossroads. edit: my only wish is to have bought these two months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
