Notes

140g black vinyl housed in a glossy sleeve with artwork printed inside and out, 4 page A4 booklet featuring a score of album track ‘Birth’. code included.

The images on this album were generated using the film of a bubble and percussive elements of the music triggering small peizo devices that create synchronous ripples.

    Shame it’s not a 2xLP… it’s a lot of beautiful music to squash onto just 2 sides…

      IMO the best floating points release (yes, even above the one with pharaoh - will never understand the hype around that but whatever).

      And the pressing - perfect.

        This effort from Floating Points really struck me when I first heard it right after release, and it wound up in frequent rotation. Fantastic record from start to finish, and this pressing is immaculate. I highly recommend it!

          Another great package for a Floating Points album. The cover art is of course fantastic, the inner sleeve seems to be of a great quality, and it comes with a small "booklet" that has the tracklist and piano notes for Birth.
