I like the new track, although can appreciate it might be a little ‘jazz’ for some tastes… Got a bit of an Albert Ayler feel to it.

Given the conversation above, it’s interesting to note some fans still pining for more techno-type output on Holden’s Facebook page. I think they’ll be waiting a long while to be honest.

Im sure some people do. In the same way Nicolas Jaar might have been viewed as a fraud. As in they both built up so much hype around them that some people of course have a backlash against it.

Personally I wish he went back to his dance stuff. Inheritors is good but a very difficult album want something a bit more fun. An expanded band might do this! Excited to see where this leads!

If he can put out anything to rival Blackpool Late Eighties, I’ll be astounded. A brilliant bit of catharsis on an extremely technical album.

Really enjoying this sounds like the collaborators have added some live flourishes to his sound.

New album is finally out today! On first listen I like it a lot. Sounds really modern and retro 70’s at the same time.

I think it is fair to say that this is James Holden’s Masterpiece. One which he shall be remembered for in years to come. Loving it.

Another album going in my top 10 of the year. It is truly wonderful. So many ideas and influences yet sounding utterly unique. I’m actually gutted I have to go to work tonight because I won’t be able to listen to it until tomorrow!

This is fantastic! Loving the 70s jazz vibes, it’s like modern version of Journey in Satchidananda.

I really liked it on first listen. Not sure I could go as talking about masterpieces yet, but we’ll see :wink:

excellent! for some reason I didn’t notice this was out today - must be something to do with a little popular rock band beginning with C.

Highlight of a very good album, for my money. I’ll certainly give his new stuff a listen when I get a minute.

I haven’t plumbed its depths yet but there’s a real feeling of joy to it as it fills up every space in the room.
