Imagine This Is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities – James Holden
James Holden’s label Border Community introduced me to electronic music that I probably would never have listened to otherwise. Over the years, he seems to have moved away from club-based music in favour of a more organic, human sound. It’s been almost 20 years since the creation of Border Community and this album is a celebration of that. Each track feels like a nod to parts of his previous discography. The percussion on most tracks is very faint and makes the album feel like a lost memory. The only track where the beat hits with a thud is Worlds Collide Mountains Form, which sounds like a band playing by the fire, feeding off each other in a trance-like state. To me, that signals where James is now and he wants you to join in. Ross, 35, Norwich
