    Glow is that rarest of beasts: a dance album that is equally as good on the dancefloor as it is at home.

    It's an eccentric, all-consuming blizzard. GI Jane is Jackson's take on pro-pop, Vista on west coast disco and Memory on classic 60s songwriting, all bathed in a wash of glitch.

    [A] belated, frazzled, intense and sometimes overwhelming follow-up album delivers on his promise.

    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 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.

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