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.

The track titles are epic too!

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.

Listened to The Animal Spirits when it came out then kind of forgot about out. Just put it on again now, absolutely incredible stuff.

Any recommendations for similar stuff. The only thing I can think of is Journey in Satchidananda that I mentioned up thread.
