about
A setting of the epigraph from the opening of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel 'The Great Gatsby'. The words are attributed to Thomas Parke D'Invilliers, a pen-name of Fitzgerald's.
lyrics
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”

The sense of light and colour this album creates is so otherworldly: Josephine Foster's ethereal voice fluttering high over those creaky, mud-spattered arrangements. Astonishing. Mary Hampton
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
