Floating Points personal collection of global soul, ambient, jazz and folk treasures form the latest in the warmly revered Late Night Tales series.

Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points’ music taste is notoriously tricky to define, ranging from ethereal classical at one end to coruscating techno at the other, united only in a firm belief in the transcendental power of music to move hearts, minds and – yes – feet. Similarly, his production career has ranged from early experiments in dance music with breakout records such as the ‘Shadows EP’ and collaborating with legendary Gnawa master Mahmoud Guinia to his expansive album ‘Elaenia’, which met with critical acclaim upon its release in 2015. 

This Late Night Tales excursion into the depths of the evening reflects his broad tastes. The globally-travelled producer has collected untold treasures on his travels from dusty stores in Brazil to market stalls near his hometown. There’s the gorgeous ‘Via Làctea’, culled from Carlos Walker’s debut album, Abu Talib’s (Bobby Wright) plaintive ‘Blood Of An American’ and Robert Vanderbilt’s gospel reworking of Manchild’s ‘Especially For You’. Raw soul and feeling oozing from each song’s pores.

At the other end of the music scale are the modernists, such as Québécoise Kara-Lis Coverdale who weighs in with the indelible ‘Moments In Love’, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith whose ‘Milk’ is an exercise in tranquility, while Sarah Davachi’s meditative mix-opener offers respite from a weary world.

We have some tracks exclusive to Late Night Tales; alongside Davachi’s offerings there is also Toshimaru Nakamura’s ‘Nimb #59’, as well as the now traditional cover version. Shepherd delved into his childhood memory for this one, a track taken from the first album his parents bought him, Kenny Wheeler's ‘Music For Large & Small Ensembles’: Sam offers up his interpretation of ‘Opening Part 1’. Wheeler also contributes horns to Azimuth track The Tunnel, written and performed by Norma Winstone and John Taylor who, coincidentally, are the parents of Floating Points’ drummer Leo Taylor. Closing the album, Lauren Laverne reads the suitably nocturnal poem ‘Ah! Why, Because The Dazzling Sun’ by Emily Brontë.

"I've learnt about a lot of incredible music from listening to the Late Night Tales compilations over the years, so I jumped at the opportunity to compile one myself. The music is a selection of the kind of records I play to set the tone when DJing all night long." 

SAM SHEPHERD (Floating Points), 2019

Best Oil on the Market
Size: 5 L
I’ve used this and only this in my 15 Scion FRS since I bought it . I used to change it every 5k but I retired and now it’s a once a year oil change with less than 5k per year. The car has never had any issues with this oil . Since NASCAR changes oil in the cars every 500 miles I don’t whine about changing it once a year. $40 for oil is better than $10k for another built motor

I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat
Size: 5 L
My Audi factory setting says I should use VW 508.00. Somewhere online it says 5w-40. It's 82000 miles and I decided to give it a shot to go 0W-20 which is what VW508.00 is. I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat. The gas pedal feel is very smooth, there's definitely less resistance when pushing forward. In Sports mode driving, the engine is not as loud and the lag or drag is noticeably less. And when it hits 100k, I will do a engine flush to see if I can get further improvements. So far, I really love Liqui Moly. I used to use it on my S500 and it was very smooth. A little more money goes a long way! Don't settle for less for your German cars. Update: I just did another 1000 miles in a week to Vegas and back. The fuel economy improved about 20%. The power increase is amazing. I could notice when I am going fast, the sustained speed at high speed is easy and continuous, It doesn't just hit a snag when your foot is off the pedal. And the engine is definitely a lot quieter and smoother. I am amazed at the overall improvement after using this oil. No other oil will do from now on.
