LP – Black Vinyl Repress (Non Die Cut Sleeve). Promises is a simply stunning 46-minute album that floats and melts, mesmerizing listeners with its beauty. The collaboration between Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, and the London Symphony Orchestra is truly a masterpiece for the ears, heart, and soul. Sam Shepherd (Floating Points): Pharoah… Pharoah Sanders: Huh…?Sam: Were you asleep? I\’m sorry…Pharoah: No no… I was listening… and dreaming… and listening to music in my head…Sam: Oh wow… sorry.Pharoah: Many times, people think I might be asleep… but in fact, I am just listening to music in my head. I\’m always listening… to the sounds around me… and playing, in my mind… and sometimes I dream.Sam: What were you dreaming about?Pharoah: I\’m on a ship. In the ocean. Bears coming around smoking cigars. The bears are singing, We have the music. We have what you\’re looking for. I say, Really? And I was making fish dinners. Shark..Lobster. Got all kinds of fish. And you know, a good pie. Pumpkin pie. You like pumpkin pie?Pharoah: How you like that take, Sam?Sam: It\’s cool. I think the bit in the middle, where it stops again…I think you can hear…We were both kind of confused. I like it as well because it sounds like two musicians that are trying to guide each other.Pharoah: I think that\’s it right there. It came out different. It came out good though.Sam: You happy?Pharoah: Yeah, I\’m cool with it.Sam: Okay. Yeah, I think you\’re playing is beautiful.
