Sleeve M; Vinyl M. Promises is a beautiful, minimalist electronic album from Floating Points, centred on a looping keyboard motif that evolves across nine movements. His crisp synth textures and ambient pulses anchor the piece, subtly shifting around layers of orchestral swells and the expressive saxophone of Pharoah Sanders. Whilst Sanders adds warmth and soul, it’s the electronic architecture that drives the work’s hypnotic build. Released months before Sanders’ death, Promises is a genre-blurring landmark — and a career-defining statement for Floating Points.
