Haven’t been here for a while, but I LOVE this at the moment. Can’t imagine what it would be like to be a chemical enhanced yoof hearing this at a club… well I can really.
It comes off Daniel Avery’s latest album Song for Alpha. If you want a more Tangerine Dream trip, check out the official video to Slow Fade from the same album.
I just stumbled on DA’s stuff. Any of you Gurus out there got more recommendations for more nu-psychedelia?
Sounds like Aphex Twin crossed with Jam & Spoon’s Tripomatic Fairytales
More recently try FourTet’s New Energy album. Includes this track:

And for a more jazzy trip try Floating Points’s stuff e.g. Silhouettes from Elaenia
I wasn’t greatly struck by the FourTet and Daniel Avery tracks, although I liked the fact that the FourTet track made use of a santoor, one of my favourite instruments.
I liked the Floating Points track a lot. Even there, though, it seems the British and American artists are only now catching onto what the likes of Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils-Petter Molvær, Eivind Aarset, Erik Truffaz, Jan Bang etc. have been doing for some years.
I am already a fan of Four Tet from way back, but Floating Points is new to me…cheers. On first listening not a million miles away from Flying Lotus…kinda more free Jazzy.
By the way, New Energy is a return to form isn’t it? The BBC seem to love using that album for sound beds at the moment.
Yes, I thought he was becoming a bit too “abstract” and “random” of late but this albums feels like both a progression and a culmination of the sounds developing on his earlier albums like Pause and Rounds
Try this thread:
Oh dear. That genre’s like catnip to me.
Best I stay off that thread as I’ll go mad I tell you. MAD.
I thought you were mad already! 😉
Listened to this last night and enjoyed it a lot. In a similar vein you might like Singularity, the new one from Jon Hopkins, and Persona by Rival Consoles. I’m thinking of making these three the basis of some serious late night listening this summer.
Persona is brilliant. I’ll check out Singularity on your recommendation.
