There was NO SPOT OR WRINKLE in this composition. SO PERFECT!

[@alexiz0013]

Omg, this is a complete masterpiece. What a sick journey of a track

[@theLetterDoubleYou]

KZbin has introduced me to every worthwhile musical talent in my life for at least the last decade. And it all started with a boards of canada search.

[@dagonn3]

On a similar journey. Started with Eluvium and the Caretaker, on to William Basinski, Phillip Glass and Susumu Hirasawa, and then on to a few hundred others. Sad how if you only pay attention to mainstream culture, music appears to have died decades ago. It's alive and well, there's just no big money in the good stuff so it gets no exposure.

[@andrealaperni9863]

dude.. SAME

[@mikeexits]

Check out Animal Collective, MGMT (especially their latest 3 albums and their newer 2-track project In the Afternoon/As You Move Through the World), Morabeza Tobacco, Shpongle, C418, Mid-Air Thief, Flume, Beach House, Avey Tare (especially Eucalyptus), Max Cooper, Adult Jazz, Busdriver, Four Tet, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Icy Demons, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Mac Demarco, Mild High Club, Sohn, Wild Nothing, Tycho, Andrew Huang, Holy Wave, Hiatus, and Orions Belte if you haven't heard any of these already.

[@gorimor]

Boards of Canada started everything for me too.

[@Carnageloser7]

i cant ever find anything new anymore the algorythm sucks

[@fuugu]

hope sam sheppard teams up with j swinscoe nowish...

[@patberlinquette]

yo what is this. wow.

[@SM-eq9qj]

Turn that bass up¡

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Today is the 12th anniversary of this masterpiece's recording being concluded. Around 6 years since I started my vinyl collection by picking this up on wax. Still remains one of the most mesmerising pieces I've heard.

[@in_da_cut]

i like to drink coffee to this song and stare out my window

[@Cl4rendon]

I like you.

[@henriashurst-pitkanen8735]

Never thought I'd see a Fall of Troy reference around these parts. Nice.

[@tractatusviii7465]

seems like a life

[@darmb]

you should be on the cover art

[@sn0wy444]

u forgot th ACID mate !!!!!

[@miffysbandswidth8204]

Words can not explain what this song does. In a world of dull it ignites my senses and makes me realise there is life under this technological sphere

[@dashr329]

basking in the glory of this tune this morning. sitting in silence for 5 minutes after it finishes letting the fluttering vibrations ring out and bless my room. beauty.

[@lucas27rose]

excatly same thing just happened so me.. seriously empowering and healing music

[@voxieart]

All the bullshit on this Earth evaporates for the 11 minutes this track plays.

[@Klonkruster222]

Poor 2014 you, didn't know that even more bullshit was to come. I can assure you that the song still works 7 years later though

[@alexiz0013]

​@@Klonkruster222Lol, couldn't agree more with this late reply.

[@miaradica]

This song absolutely sums up all of my observations on what life sometimes is and what it can transform to if we choose. thank you.

[@EricAbroad]

This song motivated me to make a grilled PB&J sandwich

[@earglue]

echoes of the Cinematic Orchestra... simply perfect!

[@nhlanhlamakhubu4666]

beautiful set, allways my last track on my set. much love from south africa!

[@jubjubfriend64]

God I wish this was on spotify, well time to add this to my youtube gems rather than spotify gems

[@ncshuriken]

Beautiful... This is a real journey, exploring the meanings of the term "music with feel".

[@scottiemcgee3838]

Pure talent. Floating Points is first rate.

[@jwj410]

juuuuust fucking beautiful. such a versatile and stunningly talented artist!

[@helenfein6103]

Thanks for posting. Such a beautiful and moving piece of music. Very talented artist. Its sounds like a symphony written for this new century.

[@Mikhael_bureau]

I love the fact that the song switch completely in different direction.

[@kellyndoarte]

Same! :)

[@ovii491]

masterpiece!! remind me some sounds of atom heart mother by pink floyd

[@Gabadenis]

+Nicolas Höfner Same eeriness and organ-like synth :)

[@ovii491]

absolutely !

[@listentomoremusic45]

FP definitely reminds me of Pink Floyd

[@dvened]

so true, the instrumental escapades :) glad to see it comes across to others too

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Paid £40 for this on vinyl yesterday. It's a single-sided 12" pressing, with just this song on it. It was absolutely worth it.

[@rleimbach1]

+Diego Sebastian seems like a scam for 40 quid

[@danielschroder7823]

+Diego Sebastian Then I dont need to have a bad conscience tubeloading it for free. Bien hecho

[@ruinderry]

+Diego Sebastian It's a great record, hope you enjoy it even more mate :)

[@craigfarr5521]

+Rupert Leimbach wouldn't realise it's limited pressing then, they're going for minimum £30 atm!

[@MultiMunchies420]

Hahaha the things you do for love

[@Mammasitta]

What a wonderful and sweet song! I heard about just a couple of days ago 11.11 for the first time 💜💘 since then I am floating

[@leyasep5919]

Who said music was dead ?

[@doitymic7697]

This shit matches up perfectly with Shawshank Redemption

[@dayumson3731]

4:24 opens mind

[@jakobk5558]

masterpiece .. reminds me of 4hero + pink floyd

[@mimoincc]

when musica goes throw anything to become everything: in some point of a floating wires, we the humans are, like flies in an atom universe, sleeping in a hamaca... art is the answear, art.

[@metuustwitch3558]

magical. Somehow reminds me of "Spirited Away"

[@BlazinBlack109]

Holly crap, that is spot on my friend.

[@shleebeez]

thats all i hear now

[@glennhill_music]

The chord change at 2:34...

[@dj_fabel]

Beautiful! And even more so when you realise this was created by 13 people.

[@shweetbeat]

+Abel Vlaanderen 16

[@dj_fabel]

+shweetbeat 13, right?

[@Pasulces]

Floating Points is one of the best producer of our times. Thanks maestro

[@bunkaaa8726]

Oh... Holy shit man this is intense..

[@catalistic3395]

"Hammond, Rhodes, Oberheim OB8, Buchla 200e, ARP Odyssey" what an insane combination...

[@violentnomad.]

ac

[@eenejeelyat3836]

It's 3am 7/8/20 and I'm so glad I'm experiencing this in this moment alone °

[@ThreeBeingOne]

damn, wires, these guys have gotten better, deeper

[@scarslikereminders]

This is the epitome of musical innovation right here

[@mathiasbanan]

There's a fair bit of resemblance to The Cinematic Orchestra "All Things To All Men" in this

[@mfeld81]

He's kind of a genius.

[@quincybeegood6063]

I am shrooming my brains out!!

[@chrishipop5]

I wished the first part of the song was longer. Ugh this whole thing is a masterpiece

[@gatesofheaventv3935]

this is very nice on mushrooms i do recommend you try some

[@nunobrazia6293]

Speechless… My mind fly to the sound of this beauty

[@psicomush]

has been on repeat all day long 🙌 can't stop thinking that the duration of 11:11 is not a mere coincidence 🙄

[@voxieart]

oh my gosh i think i just melted into my chair

[@leyasep5919]

Wait ! What ??? OK let's replay it for a 4th time.

[@leyasep5919]

nah. Still not sure. let's listen for the 8th time...

[@ChavaBahtIsrael]

1:31 onwards has me weak with emotion for this track...

[@Frvnxu]

Magic

[@shesaidpurr]

beautiful. i'm thinking of yasunori mitsuda at some points haha.

[@SallyRunsMarketing]

I have no words thanks for such an amazing musical experience.

[@csarcsi444]

i played this song, fell asleep, then I was high when I got up

[@tractatusviii7465]

why isnt this on spotify. holy

[@1235PM]

spotify is not worthy

[@sam_music555]

Because this isn't music. This is ART. No seriously, this is the reason why I want to get yt music, because REAL good music like this is often unavailable on Spotify (not Spotify's fault obviously) but you EVER have it on yt so...

[@ccchhriiss]

Those drums... ohmygad

[@Promethalus]

I remember finding this track when I was living in homeless shelters, and studying and working like mad to get my life back on track. How far this tune carried me

[@jton1]

this song is fucking amazing. it feels like 3 different songs

[@leyasep5919]

a kind of... trinity ?

[@mariellencressman9624]

way to go Diego! best buy ever!

[@prologatl7900]

My amazing/ incredible curiosity brought me here...mind portal opened..

[@welitty6132]

somehow floating points always brings tears to my eyes

[@aliiamshv777]

Thanks for sharing this beauty...

[@rg2027x]

*11:11*

[@jonathanchater6105]

This is just incredible.

[@DiscoDashco]

Tracks like this is why: KZbin premium>Spotify/AppleMusic But yet, no one ever seems to even have the KZbin app downloaded, let alone a subscription. (Not paid to say this, just an observation.)

[@seajay3235]

meh, i've had yutube premium for two years now, it's being gettin worse with every update. im about to switch to something else soon.

[@wi11ow1sp]

Epic!! in the same league as Tortoise and Godspeed You! Black Emperor

[@ciclomass]

please, put it on spotify

[@SzymonGroth]

Have you any plans to put this on apple music or any other streaming service?

[@wesleyleigh4063]

This is basically classical music with an acoustic drumkit and yet somehow it's the bleeding edge at the end of 2019

[@juanparra6534]

nowhere near classical music lol

[@dwellerinblack7816]

Dafaq? This ain't classic music. Lol

[@loobus]

absolutely wicked track this one!

[@fkzgfk]

Just discovered this guy - he is insane

[@harrysmith5340]

I bet he likes Flying Lotus

[@heterosapien69]

+Harry Smith I bet flying lotus likes them

[@thesigmaenigma9102]

Listening in 2020. The world is a mess. We need this sound right now.

[@henrikf8777]

Mr The Sigma Enigma is the answer Ligma?

[@thesigmaenigma9102]

@@henrikf8777 What's Ligm-- wait a second...

[@synchronizedrecords2620]

Lovely recorded instruments

[@deeby4570]

Am I the only one that thinks this song is too short?

[@LuisBenenaula]

I think the first section of the song is too short. I'm talking about the part with the "hammond" that starts at 0:08 and ends at 1:30

[@emill40]

this is really ok

[@paulelderson934]

but like, really really ok

[@diethylamid]

Somehow a bunch of wires brought us all together with this video. Enjoy ur life.

[@k.6686]

4:26 sounds so good, I love it

[@Sam-uz7jz]

I cant find a HQ copy of this anywhere, seems like it was only on limited vinyl release :(

[@reymxxn2735]

Que putísima obra de arte de los dioses

[@locodooms]

the cosmogramma art work was a blatant rip off from one of sun ra's artworks and a lot of influence was taken from sun ra also for that album

[@madalynmoth4263]

Thank you for introducing me to this artist. 💐

[@davidemichelenovaglio]

MASTERPIECE!

[@theoldleafybeard]

So, this is the electronic, jazzy, oldschool-DnB-jungle-ish sound of today? Because I love it!!!!

[@MatrixMaster777]

The Writing Was On The Wall^^

[@AnnaMeredith-e1m]

I remember when I liked this

[@mherman90]

wow, floating points never dissapoints, once again i remain stunned
