+- the two last tracks on Floating Points's latest album, [_Cascade_](https://floatingpoints.bandcamp.com/album/cascade).
+they form a continuous mix, so I always talk about them as one.

+    % id = "01JK5SN2WB1Y76ABASAY0QFHNV"
+    - these are my single highlight of the album.
+    amidst the pumping beats, floral patterns, and fractal palaces, you find these melancholic little gems...

+- listening to _Tilt Shift_, I see visions of traffic in a city at night.
+streaks of light travelling along the streets, illuminated by lanterns and buildings around.
+
+    % id = "01JK5SN2WBG6B8SH8FKBQ3198R"
+    - as the sound distorts, the light streaks become more smudged, shifted.
+
+    % id = "01JK5SN2WBZG4Y9XV0YHH0R2XT"
+    - it's as if the whole city is responding to a call to dance with the track.

+- then the beat ends, and you find yourself standing on a bridge crossing a river.

+    - contemplating life, how beautiful and full of life the city can seem at night.

+    % id = "01JK5SN2WB7JH6H0YV53C5YQ0J"
+    - looking at the calming waves, listening to the sound of the water.
+    far from the city centre, just pondering, taking a pause...
+
+    % id = "01JK5SN2WBWP4TJ4TP7PXY36P3"
+    - as the music slowly fades away.
+
+        % id = "01JK5SN2WBN01AWB1ME6CFG68G"
+        - as you see dreams flickering in the front...

+        % id = "01JK5SN2WB091DE6TFM0CYPVMH"
+        - as you imagine sky lanterns flying high.
+        in various shapes.

+- I imagine it would be fun to make a music video from at-night Tokyo footage for these two tracks.

+% id = "01JK5SN2WBJCP96GXY2QFFCGNQ"
+- it honestly saddens me to know most people will never hear these.
+they were barely promoted, with no music videos to speak of...
+honestly, I'm not even sure they fit the album they were born into.
+
+    % id = "01JK5SN2WBJJMMYE5J87EWKAFJ"
+    - but they will forever remain my two little underrated Floating Points gems.
