Three months after his album Illusion of Time with Italian ambient musician (and Nine Inch Nails keyboard player) Alessandro Cortini, Daniel Avery has made a sudden return, this time with Love + Light. The album was put together and sent straight to press for Erol Alkan's eclectic label Phantasy Records, with neither marketing nor promotion. When explaining the decision to release the album this way, Avery stated, “[it] felt like a decision made by an outside force yet one I agreed with entirely". This ‘outside force’ clearly had it right as everything is perfectly in place on this two-part album. Love, the first part, is a dancefloor record made up of hazy techno, dark 90s sounds (Dusting for Smoke) and occasionally dreamy atmospheres (Dream Distortion). It climaxes with Darlinnn, a trancey tune composed with Avery's labelmate Ghost Culture, who is credited as a writer on three quarters of the tracks. The record is flavoured with interludes of ambient music (Katana) and noisier passages (Searing Light, Forward Motion, with Wolverhampton producer Manni Dee).
“This record has been a real positive force of energy in my life, to the point where it almost formed itself in front of me”, Daniel Avery explained. Everything becomes clear upon listening to the second part, Light, which is a much more down-tempo record that moves between electronic arabesques (Fuzzwar) and the cosmic odysseys of A Story in E5 and One More Morning, the latter of which closes the album by setting us afloat down a river in search of light. Truly a heaven-sent record.
