Review: This 2025 reissue of the British electronic duo's 2010 release revisits a moment when their sound was at its most refined and expansive. Tracks like 'Bird 1' and 'Always Loved A Film' have an almost trance-like quality, drawing listeners into a rich web of pulsating rhythms and repetitive motifs that feel both hypnotic and unsettling. In contrast, songs like 'Diamond Jigsaw' and 'Moon In Water' offer moments of clarity, their crisp melodies and infectious hooks cutting through the layers of sound with a bright, shimmering energy. The duo's ability to shift between moods is strikingi'Hamburg Hotel' brings a brooding weight, while 'Between Stars' provides a lift, its airy textures pushing against the track's grounded pulse. This reissue feels less like nostalgia and more like a timely reminder of their ability to blend pop accessibility with experimental edge, marking their unique place in the electronic canon.
