I'm not sure what I can add to the deserved glowing reviews this record has already received. It is beautiful and engaging and it is remarkable to me that LTO maintains a recognizable signature sound while expanding and pushing his work forward. Well done.
Favorite track: The Singularity (feat. Thom Quentin Leigh).

about
Based in Bristol, LTO first made waves as part of mysterious electronic collective Old Apparatus. As a solo producer, LTO has since attracted attention with his praised debut LP "The Number From Which All Things Come" and subsequent ambient/modern classical-focussed "Storybook“ LP. With "Déjà Rêvé“, he expands on that classical sensibility, creating a highly expressive and nuanced release for Denovali Records.
Each of the tracks on this record express a certain abstracted sense of time and place, often of a long forgotten memory or dream, or of an imagined future; of places foreign, yet strangely familiar; of varying states of consciousness; of non-linear time systems; of repetitive childhood fever dreams; of places with different laws of physics removing the constraints of day-to-day reality that you never want to leave; of unimaginable landscapes.
Broadening the already far-reaching colour palette of "Storybook", LTO has created something truly remarkable: complex piano arrangements, ethereal soundscapes, elegant orchestration and floating ambience, all perfectly placed in a rich cinematic landscape. LTO creates an ingenious dramaturgy, inducing different moods, from dark to light, with an inimitable depth and irresistible suction.
“haunting and comforting in equal measure. 4/5" – MOJO
“like memory preserved in nostalgic aspic” – The Independent
“a beautiful collection that stands tall alongside the work of his contemporaries” – XLR8R
“Blurring the lines between the organic and machine-made... Takes nebulous sounds and crashes them with the clatter of machine rhythms… Brilliant.” - Hyponik
“An adventurous blend of hues grey and dark...Staggeringly rich.” - FACT
"Another great album by a real talent hugely deserving of even more attention. Remarkable. 9/10" - God is in the TV

Some of Loscil's best work. Here he uses expansive orchestral samples to great effect, but it still has that inscrutable attention to detail that he's deservedly known for. Loscil's music humbly hides the complexity of its composition, within its subtle detail, beckoning the listener to lean into the speaker and become immersed. Despite that, it is not disruptive in the background.

Oh my goodness! This is absolutely narcotic! No words! 12 Tracks with over 4hrs playing...what a trip! Never boring! But exploring! I thought that "The Sleepover Series"are just awesome as awesome could be (and they are, infact) but this here...calm down, relax, float, drop off and dive in your subconsciousness ... Thank you guys so much! Oh, I would love to see this on vinyl...Box of Six? Awesome.. And Jesus bombed a Baritone- Undercurrent II is just unbelievable! And Grounded in Space! Woah!
