This is the first & only colour edition of the album. It has been remastered & comes with a bonus track that was previously only on the Japanese pressing of the album.
It was the arrival of a Studer A80 master recorder at the front door of Sam Shepherd-otherwise known as Floating Points-that caused
him to begin building the studio that led to the creation of his debut album, Elaenia. After a slight miscalculation meant that he could
not physically get the thing inside his home, what happened next can only be described as a beautiful example of the butterfly effect.
Breaking away from making electronic music on his laptop, the DJ, producer andcomposer spent the next five years engineering
Elaenia, all the while deejaying in cities across the globe and working towards his PhD in neuroscience. An incredibly special album
that draws inspiration from classical, jazz, electronic music, soul and even Brazilian popular music, Elaenia-named after the bird of the
same name-is the epitome of the forward-thinking Floating Points vision in 2015.
