    This is music that can offer everything, but demands nothing. That's no small feat for dance music in the howling maw of 2017.

    Cutting a path somewhere between the sonic worlds of New Order and !!! (Chk Chk Chk), Omnion runs determinedly in Butler’s own unique direction, mixing decadence and daring and making for something rather special.

    Omnion is polished, precise, and familiar-sounding, but it's also indelibly soulful. It recalls the discotheque's formative role as sweaty, secular alternative church.

    They haven’t lost the ability to party, as proven by the grinding disco-funk of ‘Rejoice’, but Omnion is a serious, grown-up dance record for serious times.

    Richly layered and emotive even by Hercules & Love Affair's standards, Omnion is equally committed to moving hearts and bodies.

    With this album, Butler has thrown caution to the wind and his soul-searching has created some of his best dancefloor experimentation in years.

    As an album wanders, more opportunities arise for a wrong turn. Omnion veers to a fault.
