    Compared to Fourgeaud’s 2005 debut, Smash, there’s a new clarity within the arrangements. Clarity that allows the album’s inspirations to excessively bleed through a disorienting IDM facade.

    Glow, then, is generally a mixed bag, gothic, cinematic and made for large spaces and big stages.

    They feel like the pieces that stuck to the wall when he threw everything at it.

    Glow never feels as whimsical or demented as Bruce Haack, and while this stuff may have seemed amusingly retro in 1998 or so, in 2013 Glow feels like especially well-trodden territory.

    Listening in one session is like wolfing a hurried seven-course meal with post-dinner coffee and is roughly as messy. [Sep 2013, p.65]

    Glow feels bloated from the start.
