Beloved Exile vinyl

These days Steve Moore is better known for his film and TV soundtrack work than his dancefloor-leaning explorations for the likes of L.I.E.S. and Future Times. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that the producer's latest album - his first "non-soundtrack" release for five years - sounds like it could have been composed for the big screen. That's no criticism, though, because these five tracks are utterly sublime. "My Time Among The Snake Lords" comes on like an unlikely collaboration between John Carpenter and the Radiophonic Workshop, while the mesmerizing "Your Sentries Will Be Met With Force" has all the intoxicating urgency of Vangelis' "Bladerunner" theme. Best of all, though, is the sublime title track, a dreamy and life-affirming blast of hypnotic, mid-tempo dancefloor bliss.
