    There might be doses of dancefloor energy through the Balearic string twangs of 'All I Want' and the pulsating, springy pads of Insides, but it’s definitely the dreamy, mind-expanding cuts that take precedent.

    Spacy yet grounded, cosmic yet physical, Insides is a satisfying journey and Fort Romeau's finest music yet.

    Insides mostly works pretty damn well, and will certainly appeal to fans yearning for the good times hinted at all those years ago.

    Insides is Fort Romeau’s second full-length record, and although it doesn’t continue on quite the same upward trend of his recent discography in the risk-taking department, it does boast some of his most fully dimensional and impressively produced work yet.

    There aren’t any tidy four-minute bangers ready to assault the dance floor on Insides, but with so many DJs doing that already, it’s all the better that Fort Romeau doesn’t feel the need to compete.

    The gussied-up politeness that has followed Greene throughout his career is still an issue here, making the less adventurous material sound slightly anonymous. That's why the thick textures on "Folle" stand out so much, or why it's so exciting when Greene lets it all float away on "Lately." There are more than enough of these moments to make the record worthwhile.

    Much of the album treads familiar ground, not only to long-time listeners of Fort Romeau, but for any fan of the more minimalist side of House.
