James Holden - Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities

His remix of Nathan Fake’s The Sky Was Pink is epic

I used to know Holden as a cheesy melodic trance producer up until I heard The Inheritors

Thanks for the pointer, that one is a nice surprise and damn fine album. For some reasons I initially liked Caterpillar... "Cheesy melodic trance" was my prejudice as well. Just knew one track before: "Lump", which gave me some RDJ/Windowlicker vibes because of its use of voice.

My favourite track is Blackpool Late Eighties (the polymetric melody phrase is the thing), then most probably Renata, but all in all it's full of brilliance.

It's possible my album of the year 2023 will be from 2013.

Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities and you are dead 

IMAGINE YOU ARE DEAD AND AT WORK, AND THERE IS NO HIGH DIMENSIONAL SPACE POSSIBLE

2013 was such a ridiculously good year for music. Ugh, take me back!

Also remembering he's the writer and co-producer of Sasha's ''Boileroom'' :

I don’t think this album ever got the credit it deserved tbh. Great track

I've given a first spin only a few months ago, and since then it's on heavy rotation. Even picked the CD on discogs marketplace.

Fundamental / Boilerroom / Bloodlock is such a amazing sequence.

Nice track! I like the slow building of the track that all the singles seem to be doing

So hyped for this release, seems like something special from Holden and like a more focussed and electronic version of his "The Animal Spirits" noodlings and following instrumental sounding stuff.

"The Idiots Are Winning" is indeed one of these special LPs you keep coming back to.

Yeah and thanks for the Balance mix series, never heard these!

CD arrived in the mail today.

Damn fine until now...

It's out

This album is amazing...probably my AOTY so far. It has Inheritors vibes but flows so much better. This is definitely meant to be listened to as an album. So lush! Lots of dubby-tribal vibes throughout. Holden is kinda like Vibert to me - I wouldn't call myself the biggest fan out there, but godamn I'm so glad to grow up in an era where he's making music. 

I'll be listening to this for a while. 

Gosh, sorry for the double post. Seriously an amazing album, I needed this right now!

Loving the PDF of artwork, was this art Ai generated?

That would surprise me... Is there no artist credited?
