Phil Western - The Escapist (1998)

Atmospheric, psychedelic, trance-leaning tunes for late-night hypnotism. Floatpoint was a one-off collaboration between Phil Western and Romanian musician Dan Handrabur, and I really wish they'd recorded more music together because it's a pretty magical combo. Also, Western passed away back in 2019 and I had intended to post Worlds End in his honor but it looks like I never got around to it, so I'll take this opportunity to say: Rest in power, Phil. And fuck fentanyl.

Download began as a duo consisting of Cevin Key and (Skinny Puppy keyboardist) Dwayne Goettel who, sadly, passed away before Furnace was recorded. The group's first album, it starts out in harsh, beat-driven, goth-club-ready mode, then takes off for murkier, trippy-er terrain.
