your rave reviews have swayed me to check him/them out. i like a lot! downloading the album right now

I'm really pleased, FF

I listen to, and like, a lot of stuff. But it's only occasionally that a record really connects, and from the outset I knew that Elaenia was going to be pretty special for me.

Ah, M83. Would love to see them on West Holts or the Park.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Winslow!

If that happened, I struggle to think what would have me more excited than that, given how much I frickin' love the FP record (my AOTY, as I've said too many times now in other threads).

He could throw in a few DJ sets around the farm while he's at it. Saw him at the Four Tet all nighter a few weeks back and he was great. Dropping an Outkast track at 4am is the way to my heart.

Fact! Hoping for a few different faces DJ wise this year and FP would be up there near the top of my list.

I'd be well up for some M83, if Hot Chip are West Holts then I suppose they are.

Hurry Up We're Dreaming was weird though, not in a good way.

I think the word you're looking for is "shit".

And just so everyone can hate me that bit more, I'm a big fan of the s/t.

[Time Being]

Can't really say why, but I see them as much more of a John Peel booking. Maybe Park headliner

I refuse to believe that you ever listened to the frog song on purpose after the first time you heard it.

Listened to it this morning when people started discussing Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. One of my favourites from that album.

Aye likewise. Love that song. So happy

[Brave Sir Robin]

The "frog song" is properly ace.

[willsnewman]

First, I love the frog song. Second, I'm going to join the 'We Want Floating Points' crew. Pleaaaaaase.

[FloorFiller]

speaking of the frog song, i love this video of them performing it with the girl from the record

shame about the annoying as fuck screaming

 

but anyway, definitely don't see them as a WH headliner myself. prime Park material

[dentalplan]

Yo nobody said WH headliner. This is just the general West Holts thread ain't it?

oops didn't mean to say headliner - just meant as a general WH act. not the most outrageous suggestion, but i think they're much better suited elsewhere

[Brave Sir Robin]

From the sounds of this, maybe Grace Jones this year? http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/28/alan-carrs-chatty-man-totally-cut-grace-jones-admitting-to-a-threesome-with-janice-dickinson-5531166/

Neil thought she might be playing this year - maybe they were talking to her about 2016. (Not that I'd welcome it personally).

[Tuna]

HUWD is comfortably my least favourite M83 record.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Likewise.  I also saw them on the accompanying tour and it wasn't great.

Yes please to Grace Jones! Has she ever played before?

that was just me failing dismally to successfully extract and understand titbits of info. Ignore what I said.

[HoTWire]

In the light of Flying Lotus... Machinedrum? ... Or not big enough yet for a suitable slot on WH?

Mark McGuire could suit somewhere in the day.

LITE might be nice

Youth Lagoon

Kyoto Jazz Massive

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't even know what this stage is for if not for securing Kamasi Washington and cast of hundreds to bring those Epic jams to the fest.

[Tuna]

@HoTWire, Youth Lagoon seems like Park fodder to me. Would be great though.
