I don't often post about instrumental music, let alone review an album composed entirely of it. The problem was that I had the misconception that it was boring, and too upper-class for its own good. But I have to eat my words, because Floods is a beautiful album. Understated and relaxed, like a stream running through a glade, it fills your ears with an ocean of sound - just as you'd expect from an album "dedicated to the waters". It wraps you in its bubble and surrounds you with sound, echoing with a surprisingly beautiful coexistence of the natural and the electronic. It wafts gently back and forth, seemingly fragile but powerful and haunting. It's a sublime, beautiful, intriguing album.
8.5/10
