A joyous but intricate album, Edgeland is a perfectly paced outlet for Hyde’s cryptic urban snapshots.
It’s fully realized and identifiably from one half of Underworld while clearly and immediately being its own thing with its own charms.
Mellow, abstract, and alluring, this worthwhile journey also offers Underworld fans a clear picture of Hyde's artistic contribution to the group.
The arrangements reminded me of all the kinds of safe, pleasant music I have never found to be an influence, nor even enjoyable, no matter how well written they may be – and they are obviously very well written.
