Jun 30, 2017Mojave Desert, appropriately, feels like the end of a weekend retreat: restorative, over far too soon, and with its finer points already quickly fading from memory, but all in all, definitely worth doing again.
-
Jun 30, 2017Not as immediately blissful as ‘Elaenia’, but a magical new direction nonetheless.
-
Jul 5, 2017It’s less jazz and neoclassical than its predecessor, and more space rock--tracks such as Kelso Dunes introduce motorik beats into Shepherd’s modus operandi to no ill effect.
-
Jun 29, 2017Reflections--Mojave Desert is arguably his most ambitious recording to date, if only because he availed himself of the Mojave Desert itself as his recording studio. Clocking in at under half an hour, the soundtrack shows Floating Points in a transitional phase.

Jul 19, 2017Reflections may have required a more rigorous process to complete than any other project he’s ever done, but it is also his most compact to date, which rejects the common belief that bigger always means better.

Jul 19, 2017Compared to the earlier Floating Points material designed to connect to the head more than the hips, this naturally comes across as underdeveloped, but it's engrossing nonetheless.

Jun 29, 2017Anyone who likes instrumental prog will be pretty at home with this, which might just also turn a new generation onto the genre’s noodly stylings. Waverers may be persuaded by the four star film, making the CD package the best purchase.
