I keep coming back to this album, it's such a unique and compelling take on electronic music that's executed so well in performance that it offers something new on every listen.

"The silver metallic train sped through the night at warp speed, like a bullet being fired out of a revolver. It hardly made
a sound as it hurtled through the air leaving a hazy smoke in its wake. Their destination was unknown, all they knew was that their jouney may never end." -The Ransom Note...more
Oranssi Pazuzu, the gods of psych black prog metal!! Many an act attempts to fuse those elements, and very few do it well. OP are and will continue to be the leaders in this style! Ralph Douglas
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
