it's not every day I'm reminded that this dropped!
but this thing's hype curve did have one of the sharpest dropoffs of the last few years

I have not but am doing so rn! Most of the way through and ngl am too sleepy to process a lot of it properly, but uniformly positive vibes so far beyond that

Big albums that were 'classic' within their month of release and then completely forgotten about: this, new Beth Gibbons, [continue]

I think you just forgot about it, I’ve listened to this at least once a month since it came out

yet this thread has been a graveyard since 2021 and i've seen minimal discourse around it elsewhere (conspicuously so from a lot of those who hyped it on/pre release)

Pharaoh sanders’ solo as a 50something on “promises kept” by Sonny Sharrock one of the best solos of all time

New Floating Points is my AOTY. It goes ridiculously fucking hard. Not a single low point in the whole thing.

I also agree with your rating of this nightbringer - It bored the hell out of me. I honestly can't see what people liked about it.

the new album (which is alright imo) got me to revisit this last night — it's theoretically v much my speed now in a way it wasn't in 2021, but nope still a snoozer. best part is the surprise/intimacy factor of Pharoah's vocalise, rest is a non-starter and somehow never sets in as a reverie
Nala Sinephro takes p much every aspect I ever cared for in this aesthetic and delivers so much more from it
