    Love it, hard to have another stab at what was already perfected on Leftism....thrilling, compelling, superbly produced and well worth the wait. Roll on number four.

    The album feels extremely limited, and though Bilocution and Universal Everything are thrilling and wonderful to listen to, they are also the only thrilling and wonderful moments, before the truly awful Head and Shoulders comes on, and everything generally slides downhill afterwards.

    Alternative Light Source is a worthy successor to 'Rhythm & Stealth', not as sparse or hard hitting but brimming with energy, ideas and familiar Leftfield diaphragm-rattling bass.

    The lack of urgency is also welcome, with Alternative Light Source slowly unfurling as the most natural and comfortable Leftfield album to date.

    The performances are sterling and there’s a clear intention to deliver rounded albums, not just drifting techno selections.
