![Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises [Full Album]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mn8x0QbN4f8/mqdefault.jpg)
i played this as a background music while working, I had to stop working because it was so good! and watch a little of the video, good vibes dudes
its amazing to hear him talk about his roots in classical music and love of pharaoh sanders 5 years ago, to making an album with him and london symphony orchestra now. truly inspiring
The album with Pharoah Sanders was a blessing. Highly recommended.
@@ramirofrancois2157 The whole suite is great but Movement 6 is Legendary!
@@whatdothlife4660 I tend to lose track of Movements in a continuum.

The older I get, the more I appreciate music like this. Zero 7, Air, The Cinematic Orchestra etc..... Rhodes, bass guitar, lighter drums , with light guitar. Maybe I’m just old as dirt, 44 but I tell myself it’s the evolution of my musical taste.
It's simply very good, beautiful, soulful yet technically masterful music that speaks to emotions without trying to be cheesy or shocking. Good for you for following this musical path of yours dude 🙂
37 wife thinks I'm weird cause I truly appreciate all genres of music from all over the world. Pretty broad.
i go the other direction. only listened to mellow stuff in my youth. now 40 ive discovered NIN and Ministry for myself.:) still like the other stuff though. Throughout all the time Mr. Tom Waits remains the unquestionable Nr. 1
26 and i love it; many of my musician friends as well. So now you can tell yourself you're into the same stuff like these mid 20s youngsters.
@@Battlehammer333 I started dabbling with making music around 2014. If you’re willing to listen, I have some songs on SoundCloud. It’s under the artist name Flow Taylor. Nothing officially released yet. I’d love any and all feedback

"...and now I'm surrounded by.... knobs." I thought that was a knock at his bandmates for a second, ha!
The cheeky laugh after he said that as well. Host thinks dials, we're thinking cocks.
he knew perfectly well what he was doing...
props to the drummer, dayyym man can hold a groove
great drummer
Whats his name?
Yeah he was real cork.
Guy straight cradling that groove like a golden ball sack.
Agreed! So damn good!
What a rare genius this guy is. Britain really does produce some talent.
I also love other various UK electronica based acts like
Unkle, Aphex Twin, FourTet, Burial, Massive Attack, Forest Swords, Allflaws
funny how all those uber-brits then go home and eat meatpie which is literally cat food in pastry and live their best life
Those are all great groups you listed but the germans are on a whole other level imo. Not being an argumentative person : )
Best radio station. Period.
this live session just won everything on youtube... jaw drop deluxe
I totally agree!
Yo Ollilab, you might know this... What's that polysynth he's playing at the beginning of Argente?
+Randall van den Berg looks like an oberheim matrix 6
Check out Lingus from Snarky Puppy in we like it here session. And the winner is... :D
***** My home is the world, so get out of my house you thug!! If jazz is shit it wouldn't be almost like a lifestyle to millions, you're the shit thing, your comment stinks! x|
*Fun Fact:* when the National Institute of Standards and Technology needs to calibrate their atomic ytterbium clocks, they call up the drummer from Floating Points in order to check their work.
for real???
@@pattygiron-jones6930 Yes, it is a well known fact
@@Atamachikaku That's what I heard too
Well known fact
It’s such timely information!
I really appreciate how far out they go while still staying largely diatonic and grounded in harmony, accessible to the child in all of us.
this is a super rad comment
It's not that diatonic. There are a bunch of accidentals and inharmonic textures outside the implied harmony
@@2kiwis1aussie It’s still LARGELY diatonic though
Bass...
Gosh, you can't go far at all when playing sugary harmonious music. Fortunately I've grown up from that.
This will be among the greatest performances of the decade.
Came here for the sacred geometry, stayed for the jam
so true!
Yep.. Same here
How to? Its fluorecsent colour?
excellent post...like wise...cheers!
GREAT Live performance , I just discovered Floating Poins through Pharoah Sanders . WHAT A GROOVE !!!
Incredible set. Really blurs the line between pure electronic music and full on jazz.
You should listen to Jaga Jazzist then. :)
E ʀ ɴ ᴇ s ᴛ ᴏ . S ᴛ ᴇ ᴅ ɪ ʟ ᴇ oh I like them a lot! This is just new for FP, who used to be strictly electronic :)
There's nothing "jazz" about this music at all. It's post rock with some nice synth work. I wouldn't call Tortoise jazz either, even though it's a lot more jazzy than this. www.apassion4jazz.net/jazz.html
@@bonitabromeliads this is very 70s return to forever/chick corea. This is indeed jazz.
@@WordChicken-mk7el I agree. This is jazz/jazz influenced for sure. There's even a slight Herbie Hancock vibe going on. And as for Tortoise...well, just quit raining on our parade. Music is music. Enjoy it. Spend too much time labelling it, and you'll miss the point. (No pun intended)
That one guitarist has been in a perma-trip since a Butthole Surfers show circa 1992
i was about to say that haha! hes got so much emotion ( or is it LSD)
whats his name? i couldn't understand it. he seems like hes on another planet and i want to check out his projects
Anth Wendt cheers! Scrolling for exactly this comment. Dude is from Melbourne too. Prolly Locust Abortion Technician is his fave album.
Looks like he's just gotten out of jail
Bahaha Bri Fitz! Best comment here!!! You nailed it! BRAVO!!!
That bass is flippin beautiful
this live performance is nothing short of phenomenal. i'm at a complete loss of words
Kuiper, both the studio version but particularly this live one, is one of the best things I've heard in the last 5-10 years without a doubt.
I don't leave many comments, but...
This session is pure heaven.
I love how distinct each player is. A motley crew.
Thanks KEXP, solitude is more bearable thanks to you.
this comment aged well post-quarantine.
@@hardlyworking_ yess
Kuiper is the best song i've heard on 2020 by far.
70s jazz-fusion revival. Love it!
Host is also secretly filming his project called "Hosting music show after takying candyflip" ....and he nails it! ... smooth :D
ahahhaha exactly
Saw this happen live in LA. Took a couple of minutes to collect my jaw from the floor. Bravo!
damn dude what a steal! these are the kinda shows im missin out on!!
"Tortoise" of our days! Excellent music!
KEXP has the best sound.... Ever!
I've been listening to Abbey Rd. and Maida Vale sessions for so long, KEXP captures the live vibe better than the 'Best'
I think it's time the BBC upped their game!
KEXP slays it again. The best source for bringing extraordinary music to the thorsty
the drummer is escorting the payload.
the sequencer is actually, lol but the drummer is keeping in step
Dang I feel that drummer
yeah, well... i really got turned off by that dogtag though.
Stfu
Nah bro he's keeping up tho
You know what? I've heard the album, and there is not substantial differences between this live and the studio version. These guys are amazing!!
I've listened to this twice today ;-)
Guys with guitar add so much psychedelic flavor. And what a beautiful performance i must say! Bravo!
Best radio station and best live shows!
What a time to be alive
such an amazing group. their use of electronics is highly sophisticated.
gosh I am still not sure what "floating points" means for my geographical information systems studies but at least I found this by coincidence :D
Hahahahahahah
bruhhhhhh
kexp bring badbadnotgood to your studios
these studio performances are one of my favourite things on youtube, thank you for that
That kexp host's eyes... Wow... lol kinda puts your mind on the spot.
2nd half is totally mind-blowing
This reminds me of 70s' experimental jazz my dad listened to when I was a kid. No lie, I crossed doors on this music. Love the Atari sounds.
the best build up ever, my senses are tingling
This is just godlike. No other way to describe it.
This is simply amazing. Next level shit occurring here
agreed!
mos def.
Next level retro.
lol
I mean the guy is a neuroscientist besides all, what did you expect... :P
Thx, as always, KEXP!
Love this, thanks to KEXP for presenting me with yet another great band I never knew existed !
These guys have touched and breached the limits of music. This was it. This was the music! What next?
The 302 people that ACCIDENTALLY hit the dislike button are kindly requested to correct their mistake.
бесподобный уровень исполнения, спасибо за live
a great sound, love it
Almost a full hour of this mind blowing set! Thanks as always KEXP for coming through!
Still sounding epic in 2024! Guys knocked it out of the park with this set.
Superb sound experience to the senses. One of a Kind, sound royalty!
God damn this guy is such a great performer. Bringing his extensive knowledge and love of musical history to us all in the form of something truly new and exciting. Major props to his band as well, the drummer especially is outstanding.
Couldn´t have said it better
I'm late to the party (December 2020, the year that was...well, you'll remember).
When my grandchildren ask me about That year, 2020, I'll say that I was fortunate to hear this performance, and may perhaps briefly mention some trumpety balls, but will go straight back to this glorious musical banquet.
Best thing I heard in years, particularly THIS one.
Perfect and perfect timing as always. Thanks
love this session so much! really, top notch music. the sound reminds me of Tago Mago mixed with some early STS9.
so great, i really love this set. thanks for sharing
All performance is SUPER !!!
These guys are having a freaking blast!!! I love that
I cant get over how truly amazing this is.
Merci Floating points
Thanks a lot Kexp to share this magical moment
Kuiper gets me every time... What a tune, what a band !
I cant get enough. Bless you!
Perhaps my favorite group to perform on KEXP to date.
Brutal concierto, brutales los músicos, brutal Floating Points y gracias KEXP
glued to my seat. my first encounter with floating points. ty
yeah this is incredible
O melhor som do Floating!
Fantastic. Their music is strikingly beautiful and delicate.
I am absolutely astonished by this set. They walk so many different paths and it’s damn wel played.
Always coming back to this set, especially for the drummer!
this is just an amazing piece of art..., Excellent.
Superb. Very good strange new era floating sounds with a good video prodution.
Cheers from Porto, Portugal.
Completely mesmerising!
Seeing these guys on Sunday. Pumped to say the least.
Wow he entrado en un trance profundo y fantástico. Gracias!
Drumming.
I love his cymbals...Constantinople and such
this is how a groove can be fuckin more dope than electronic drums
@@iamtheaudiophile For sure. His style reminds me of Phil Selway. Then again, this band kinda has a Radiohead vibe going on, too. I'm digging it more and more as I'm listening to the whole set.
Great music, thanks KEXP!!!
Oh my...amazing stuff here!
Awesome music! KEXP as usual have excelled. Thanks for producing this amazing set for our consumption!! This band/collective whatever you want to term them, led by Sam are exceptional musicians, totally original and tight as! Long may you flourish guys!!!
Amazing ending.

Hahahahaha
Thank God someone'e making music like this!!
Kuiper is an excellent new track and wonderful to watch live. Glad I found this.
20:20 Acid Kicked in
haha this!
20 mins on an empty stomach sounds about right.
Fusion style. I like it.
Love every moment
This was awesome, thanks for the music. Jazz wont die there are to many Legends.
Floating Points = RETURN TO FOREVER Band from the 1970's
check out the album Romantic Warrior
what. the. fuck.
wow. just. wow.
First time i've heard these guys. What a brilliant buzz. They rule in harmonious togetherness. Super cool
Just brilliant!
"I felt my neurons firing man O‿O"
Wow, I rocked the heck out. Listening with my KRK speakers, G2 yellow. 6inch drivers, and I was really moved. I'm adding these to my playlist. Im kinda feeling silly I hadn't heard them before.
New to me too
Hopefully in 4 years you've come to understand that nobody cares about your gear man.
Yeah no one cares about your gear dude
Thanks for this, great session
you should see this band if they come to your town - impressive
I've seen his DJ set but I would love to see the actual band live
@@FOTHER_MUCKER Me too, and thanks for your last name. I finally know what I'm about to cook for this night
@@hwt-ka-pth no problem amigo, your name has reminded me that we are all going to die soon
@@FOTHER_MUCKER Sorry man, wasn't meant that way. It does slowly start getting creapier here in the Netherlands, like it does in most of the world (at least that's what is being fed to us by the tellie) but I've also heard some optimism.
Wherever you reside I hope you don't live in the fear we're constantly bombarded with
@@hwt-ka-pth We overleven het wel, met muziek :)
