The Sails p.1

by loscil

supported by

Album Club The Sails is a sonic journey that takes the listener from the familiar to the alien and keeps your foot tapping the whole way. Rhythm is driven by layers of bass, synths and samples often without a drum track.

Give Still a listen, a glorious riot to take your ears on an adventure. Also, who else is writing 9 minutes long tracks any more?

@mohlers pick for best of 22 Favorite track: Still.

Richard Osborn Superb! Classic loscil! Favorite track: Wolf Wind.

MK_Ultra I'm loving the transformation of Loscil from where he was to where he takes it here. The tracks reside on the shorter scale, but what they do purvey is nothing short of phenomenal. Bring on Prt 2.

about

The Sails is a two-part collection of music written for dance projects over the last ~eight years. All of these compositions were commissioned specifically by the choreographers for their projects, many of which might not be performed again (and one that never did get staged). Most pieces have been edited and reworked for this collection for better sequencing and to breathe new life into the music. Part 2 will be released seperately within the coming months.

Special thanks to the choreographers: James Gnam, Vanessa Goodman, Damien Jalet, Paolo Mangiola and Kathryn Rickets

Promises

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
