On his 2016 EP, producer Floating Points (nee Sam Shepherd) offers two extended tracks (+ one track on Bonus CD) that occasionally sound like Neu! with steroids and 40 years of additional recording technology on their side.
"For Marmish Part II" is a gentle trip, constructed around a simple piano riff that fades in and out of accompanying collected sounds. Cymbals rustle, a choral whisper descends, or a cheeky synth appears. Without much real development, it avoids becoming tedious through his masterful arrangement. There’s no rush, no hurry: you could probably listen to it on loop for hours without even realizing, drifting away with every glistening key.
On the other hand, "Kuiper" is so much fuller: Shepherd leads his current live band in a fretful journey through post-rock crescendos - lofty, unavoidable peaks - and much-needed lows. The drum kit is given a real hammering, while a trance-inducing bass adds to the proggy feel; around the mid-section of the track, the noisy development eventually threatens to become too much. The real beauty lies in the quieter moments, though they are few and far between the boisterous ones - a far cry from the minimalist flip-side.
All in all, the full 30 minutes of Kuiper seems logical as a comfortable extension of, and compromise between, Shepherd’s recent discography: as he continues to unravel the additional possibilities of live instrumentalism, we can be sure to expect plenty more of the same.
