Album Notes & Community Reviews

Achieving widespread recognition after several tracks were famously utilized by Stanley Kubrick in his final film 'Eyes Wide Shut', Jocelyn Pook's 'Flood' is a remarkably ominous and deeply atmospheric recording[cite: 1]. The album heavily relies on reversed liturgical chanting and sparse, highly ritualistic modern classical string arrangements to create its profoundly mysterious tone[cite: 1].
