pozzetronics Way way WAY ahead of their time!! Favorite track: Smells Like Content.

quasiotter what's the point of picking a favourite track where everysong has its own independent universe... that somehow all exists in the same universe? Favorite track: An Animated Description of Mr. Maps.

polarbearpanic i’ve been listening to this album for years. must’ve heard it a thousand times. somehow every year it becomes better and better. It’s beyond anything i’ve ever heard. to choose a favorite song seems impossible so i choose the last song as a way to say i love this entire album. Thank you for your work. Favorite track: Twelve Fold Chain.

about

Lost and Safe, maintained the Books' reputation as a pioneering musical force, even as they flirted with traditional song structures more than ever before. It would go on to be named Album of the Year by the highly influential music magazine, The Wire. As with the recently reissued Thought For Food and The Lemon of Pink, Lost and Safe is repackaged with dazzling new artwork and expanded to include lyrics for every song. Carefully and thoughtfully remastered from the original mixes by Zammuto at his new studio outside his home in Vermont, Lost and Safe now boasts an increased warmth and clarity that reveals new details with repeated listens. To be sure, the differences are subtle, but for a band who have transformed minutiae into modern art, that subtlety is downright sublime.

Promises

supported by 64 fans who also own “Lost and Safe”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
