Perhaps he’s mellowing with age, but those beats have been left in a club somewhere, replaced with a decidedly modern ambient sound, that still retains a cultured ethereal sensibility.

This new LP sees him descend from the new age stratosphere for a somewhat more grounded release, his usual wispy, well meaning electronica part exchanged for the more gravity beholden autoharp, upright piano and vintage Yamaha keyboard

Hooky refrains and nu-disco basslines eschewed for precision sound design, higher sonic purpose and an altogether more astral approach
