James Holden drops his first new studio album in five years during the opening evening of BRDCST: ‘Imagine This is a High Dimensional Space of all Possibilities’. 'A dance album like no other' (★★★★★ The Guardian)
According to an explanation from the composer himself, he wanted to incorporate fond memories of the raves of his youth into his own, unique world of sound. James Holden plays during Day 1 of BRDCST at 10pm in the Main Hall.
- ‘His fourth album returns to the dancefloor, integrating all that has gone before. Too young for the illicit sound system era, Holden has created the vintage rave soundtrack he wishes had existed when he was a teenager, dreaming of free party transcendence.’ (★★★★★ The guardian)
- De luisteraar wordt rondgeleid langs een warme, psychedelische geluidscollage, waarin je nauwelijks grenzen ontwaart.’ (de Volkskrant)
- ‘Wie altijd al vermoedde dat James Holden eigenlijk een goed vermomde technohippie was, krijgt met dit nieuwe album de ultieme bevestiging. Kwetterende vogeltjes, panfluiten, tablapercussie, technicolor-melodieën – het zit er allemaal in.’ (OOR)
- ‘Setting the scene with the cosmic pulse and euphoric birdsong of the opener, this record feels more like a mixtape than a musical album, sucking you ever deeper into a hypnotic world of pulsing bass and blissful noise.’ (Loud And Quiet)
