That guitar solo coming in at 4:30... unreal

[@natejones873]

You are a musical genius. I heard King Bromeliad for the first time the other day then got super into Crush and thought "this guy is a fantastic electronic producer"; I was absolutely digging on what you were doing with modular synth. Then I discovered this and Elaenia and I was blown away. Its a crime more people don't know about you but I'm going to do my best to get the word out in my circles, this shit is amazing.

[@darrencurtin2386]

Floating Points is a god among mere mortals in the music world. The guy is breaking all kinds of musical boundaries. What a man. We're lucky to witness this shit in our generation

[@AL-he5pb]

The bassist has definitely some class

[@pp-ro3vh]

A beautiful record with lush Rhodes, ambient soundscapes and touches of progressive rock which touches on classic Pink Floyd live at Pompeii psychedelic vibes in places.

[@benjohnson9126]

I love the beginning of the video showing all the different natural life common in the dessert all arranged just so. I always try and pick out how Shepherds neuroscience background bleeds into the music. I can often picture an electron cloud whirring and dancing about with that arpeggiated voice bouncing around the aural axis

[@arovane777]

pink floyd and tangerine dream = 2 of my fav bands...loving this.

[@BenAulbrook]

Im going through a lot of anxiety attacks recently, as im having oral surgery soon - this whole presentation captive my sense .. on my technics v26 cranked - and im at ground for just a moment again

[@darrangoodman6688]

Love when the birds fly over....it’s visual magic on top of pure audio sorcery I tell thee

[@sadrans444]

Incredible. Definite Pompeii vibes from the video

[@andrewfuller62]

Bingo!! My sentiments exactly.

[@nickshel]

It clearly played a large influence on the Director/Producers

[@petitefeuille2000]

I hear that Pompeii Vibes is the name of Floating Points forthcoming single

[@gustafmarz9880]

Beautiful. Just seen them last night in Los Angeles. So awesome live.

[@GarethWonfor]

Gorgeous music... and as other haves said, definitely a tribute to PF's Pompeii session - and why not!

You guys make some pretty damn good music. Please keep it in the "take all the time to finish the song" state, the mind can just lost itself and float in those sonic wave of yours, THANKS for that!

[@lexporteus1601]

Really reminds me of Anasickmodular! I always thought of a desert/savanna when listening to that track, so this is really a great experience. Great Job.

Absolutely sensational!

[@philwickline9161]

This came on my shuffle (I've had tons of floating points in my library but this was a newer one) and I thought it was another psych band I love called dungen. I love the vibe and musicianship.

Masterful keyboard bending .....

[@genderegg]

5:43 Did the drummer...?

[@montreux82]

Yes..and seems to be on purpose because the whole band keeps on the same tempo.. weird shit imho

[@felipet.lamaison2177]

it's freaking cool " do not fear mistakes, there are none" - Miles Davis

[@Thumolero]

Sam is one of those that comes 50 years late to the party

[@KLK01]

Gorka Molero Glad I exist in the same timeline as him. didn't exist to enjoy pink floyd in their prime.

[@ljwosborne89]

Live at Pompeii?

[@PodOfHeat]

These guys should watch Live in Pompeii...

[@benjohnson9126]

Bassist is always low key fly as fuck

[@krzysztofrosinski6612]

floyding points

[@BlackInLady]

Is this me or this feels very Twin Peaks season 3 ?

[@kyledurkee7755]

Bassist looks like Miami Vice.

[@narcobob3743]

This is the desert, has nothing in common with Pompei.

[@jokubasgedvilas5425]

nice green-screen

[@hcanes35]

lol

[@lauren_e_s]

Your drummer uses a lot of the same fills.

[@abdulmarabuti2262]

Eine Mischung aus Genesis und Pink Floyd insbesondere wuensche du waerst da

[@KLK01]

What's the closest pink floyd song to this?

[@KLK01]

not long enough.

[@calinpetrescu]

When Pink Floyd meets Daft Punk.

[@nerveclinic]

Wait this is early Pink Floyd?

[@freddynetwerk]

plinky Floydy

[@ryan.9023]

Kinda long, not great. Don't recognize this song. Hope this Mohave Desert jam has more songs 🌵 still, love you FP, thanks for posting!

[@jtpchoons5842]

"Don't recognize this song." Well, I guess that's constructive criticism for you .....LOL

[@ryan.9023]

JTP Choons I thought they were going to play songs from Elaenia not come up with new ones.

[@FernandoNoronhadaCosta]

Sorry. But no. I've been there 30+ years ago.

[@MrBonecrushing]

slobby drumming

[@GalenAus]

really?

[@anonunknown7999]

Rubbish, his style is perfect for this music. It is, after all, Floating Points, not too extravagant.

[@redcassette]

for someone so creative to suddenly release a video and tune thats brazenly ripped off is saddening to me. pastiche or plagiarism? you decide.

[@franc9498]

ANDREW b what did it rip off?

[@redcassette]

Dusan Tadič I would say, live at Pompeii by Pink Floyd...even musically there's similarities between this and echoes etc.
