    Floating Points' Melodies International releases three, privately pressed, modern soul gems recorded in the Detroit area between 1973 and 1978. These ultra-rare ‘Aged In Harmony’ 7”s have since become highly sought after and much revered by soul enthusiasts around the world. All originally written, arranged and produced by Arnold Moore, the six recordings bring together rousing string, vocal, guitar, synth, horn and drum arrangements into the most infectious, dancefloor-friendly grooves!

    Reissued and presented as a set for the very first time, this release is accompanied by the second edition of the label’s very own 'Melozine', which features an exclusive interview with Arnold himself and more. Essential release!
