  • Summary: Tim Simenon returned after nearly 15 years to his Bomb The Bass name in 2008 and for his second album, works with Gui Boratto and features vocals from Depeche Mode's Martin Gore.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 9
  2. Negative: 0 out of 9
  1. From the monasteric vocal and Union of Knives-esque menace of ‘The Infinites’ to the shades of Hot Chip (‘Price On Your Head’) and Ladytron (‘Boy Girl’), ‘Back To Light’ is another early marker in what’s shaping up to be a stellar year for dance music.
  2. 60
    The resulting album is light and breezy.
  3. A sleek fusion of minimal bass, subtle breakbeats and surpise vocalists. [Apr 2010, p.111]
  4. There's nothing wrong with being down, and Simenon does it well. But what Back to Light boasts in studio acumen it lacks in personality.
