After listening to Promises by Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders, I searched continuously for an album that sounded similar, if not, better.

[@markscott2026]

Utterly beautiful. I was reading this poem by Sharon Page when it came onto my You Tube playlist of its own accord: Past Six and Counting (by Sharon Page) The usual responses to the usual queries are getting harder and harder to believe in, and to say. So when you came along and asked the polite question, I wanted to tell you: Friend, I'm courting disaster six ways from Sunday. But I would've had to risk that, in your trusty way, you might've asked: which six? and I would've had to count all the time and luck I'm living on - borrowed, stolen, inevitably to be begged. More than before, I'm more than I appear, and less. You see, I've grown afraid of this chicanery risen round me like a hedge I could either burn for fuel, or choke on. I've been practicing prestidigitation, quickening faster even than weeds in March, when on an especially brave day, I went out and knelt and was humbled by the season's looming harvest. It's all grown deep, the roots long past my grasp. Thinning those cotyledons, each in competition, I no longer could be sure what it was I'd meant to plant that little time ago. But as for the paths I pave to hell, I know each scavenged moment, the ways I skim off the cream and milk the wages and credit offered me. Don't bother asking where I'm headed, for I'd try to tell you if I could. The job on salary, the business on pluck, these studies, that homework, projects shouldered for the common good - can there be a place for art? Friendship? And what of love or - worse yet - loves? It's gone past six already; something's got to give.

[@geoffreytorzar8159]

9 is the number of this album. A number that represents the transition period between the end and a new beginning. A period where we are being prepared for a new chapter. The period where we finally learned something from our personal dilemmas. That's what happened to me after listening to this album for the first time, this piece of music reminded me that I needed to transition into a new state of mind. It came to me at the right time, at the time when I started to lose control of myself. What's interesting is that Nala said in the Pitchfork interview that she tweaked the synths' frequency to 432hz because of the calming effect it gives, the album's title is Space 1.8, and the duration of the project is 44 mins and 19 seconds long. I don't know if that was intentional but once you sum all those numbers and reduce it to one digit, it will equate to 9. A powerful number. Space 1.8 is a powerful album, indeed.
