UK weather is currently providing the optimum listening conditions for this fine lp.

the RA faint praising of this lp is so cloth-eared, it is not that far off something worthy of the "sprawling masterpiece" epithet ffs!

Some of the house tracks are a bit meh but overall it's a good solid album. The smooth jazz tracks at the start totally work and are excellent springtime music, as pointed out above. This is especially worth picking up if you don't have the Mr Fingers 2016 EP because it's all on the album

I really liked Outer Acid so I'm looking forward to checking this out

I had a 3 hr train journey through the Scottish highlands at the weekend and this sounded incredible looking at all the coastlines and countryside. I love how intimate it all feels - the muted drums and the softness of the melodies and chords. Even though it is a really long album it feels like there's not a second wasted - every drum hit or delay effect feels like it's been placed in the exact right moment.

I can't believe it was only two years ago when it was released, it feels like something from a different era now when I'm playing it. Not heard it in a while, it went amiss when my last pc died. It's the shit!

maybe i'm dumb but is this where larry got the name? had never heard of this book until today
― kieth chagrin (NickB), Thursday, 21 January 2021 21:41 (three years ago) link
I’m vaguely aware of reading an interview where he mentions it was a nickname given to him as reference to his piano playing skills. I could be wrong.
― mmmm, Thursday, 21 January 2021 22:26 (three years ago) link
He got that nickname because anybody that doesn't like him gets the finger.

ha! :)
― kieth chagrin (NickB), Thursday, 21 January 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link
I always thought it was because he was known for producing the most finger bangin' club tracks.

The name thing is another tricky issue, because it started off as Loose Fingers, my little brothers made up this whole Loose Fingers thing. It goes back to my tendency to grab an instrument and start faking like I knew how to play it, get on the piano and fake like I’m playing something, so I would always move my fingers fast and they started saying this “loose fingers” thing. And then when I put a record out and that’s what I ended up using for the artist name, because I didn’t know what the response was going to this stuff – it’s off the wall – and I didn’t know anything about the music business other than I hear records and I buy them, that’s pretty much the extent of what I knew. And that’s why I used that name, as like a safety net. If it turned out to be a total embarrassment, I can actually hide and say I don’t know who that Loose Fingers is. And it was modified to Mr. Fingers within one release, really. And then modified to Fingers Inc. when I teamed up with Robert.

"Introduction" is one of my fave ever albums. To my ears there's a big difference between the jazz playing / textures on that and what I heard on some of this album.Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee)Posted: 17 April 2018 at 12:30:21

I'm pretty ambivalent about the back to love album, but it contains my favourite track of his, Sweet Wine, which is pure magic

pt. 2 came out six months ago and I never heard a thing about it! the first one was so incredible I hadn't even imagined a sequel, just sorta read the pt. 1 as a playful ellipsis.
