The 10th anniversary edition of "Eleania", a gem of a debut album released in 2015 by a unique musical genius who spent five years on the project, is now available on LP with the addition of "Precursor", the first vinyl release of this unique musical genius! The debut album masterpiece released in 2015 by SAM SHEPHERD, aka FLOATING POINTS, the leader of the Eglo label, on his own independent label Pluto, which he started himself. Plus an ambitious EP "Kuiper", a sequel to "Elaenia" that explores a new post-rock crossover/emotional world via deep house, is also included on this 2LP limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
Track List

His 360° musical tastes include deep house, jazz, electronic music, soul, Brazilian MPB, and even classical music, and he has put it all together with a group of talented musicians in a simple, sweet, dreamy, and sonic composition with a true crossover touch. The result is a musical epic that is soft, powerful, and wonderful in every way. This is a masterpiece of a debut album released in 2015 on Pluto, an independent label started by Sam Shepherd, a.k.a. Floating Points, the leader of the Eglo label.
This 10th anniversary edition of the album includes the addition of "Precursor," which is being released on vinyl for the first time.
The limited edition 2LP also includes "Precursor," which was created during a session with the band members (Leo Taylor, Alex Reeve, and Susumu Mukai) who came together to recreate the "Elaenia" album live at the time, and which has already been performed live and has been long awaited by fans. The song "Kuiper (18:28)" is an epic and beautiful 18.5 minutes long piece, which has already been performed live and fans have longed to hear it on record, and "Elaenla", a track from the album "Elaenla", which is performed with his Buchla, Oberheim, Arp Odyssey analog synths, Fender Rhodes, Vibraphone, Percussion and Vocal. It is also a pleasure to note that "For Marmish Part II (14:10)," a sequel to "For Marmish," one of the most popular songs from "Elaenla," and also a serene, minimal and jazz meditative masterpiece that is over 14 minutes long, is also included.
