Daniel Avery assembles a diverse album of well-crafted tech house tracks that's solid from start to finish.

A very solid and consistent Tech House album with a trim collection of House bangers, that are both chill and hard-hitting at the same time. I feel like you can both headbang to this album, but also fall asleep or just chill too.
The simple, yet effective synth-work and undeniable drum grooves result in an amazing night-time rainy vibe, with captivating soundscapes.

Nothing too deep, but a really detailed, atmospheric, and well-groomed tech house and IDM release that, while not as immersive as Immunity or as ambitious as Exai still serves as a great electronic release in 2013.
How on EARTH did I miss this thing?? This definitely should have been on my top 100 of the decade this is one of the most enjoyable and well-produced tech house/electronic records I have ever heard.
It's not the best thing I've ever heard in my life, but this is still a really solid techno album. I guess my main issue is that after Drone Logic, half the songs sound the damn same. It may be good for DJs and stuff, but it does get kinda stale when you're just listening to the album. But the rest of the album makes up for the rest of it, especially those last 3 songs, chefs kiss. Overall, as a collection of club bumpers, this would get the job done.
Truly... something. I mean this has some nice parts some of the beats are really good but overall im not the biggest fan of the looping especially with some of the more odd beats. It reminded me a lot of Homework by Daft Punk. Not a lot was memorial to me after the tracks past hearing them. Knowing We'll Be Here sounded like the dress to impress theme song but im unsure if thats a good thing
