    Home and Lose Your Love are pleasant, if earthbound, disco-house tracks bolstered by cut-and-shut samples of Brainstorm’s We’re on Our Way Home and the Emotions’ I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love. But Truth Is Light is UK garage on non-alcoholic cava, and the dance tracks, with their interminable cosmic arpeggiation, have less poke than a 1980s hand-dryer.

    There’s no doubt that Electric Lines will be the basis for some excellent live sets. But as an album, most of these songs offer too little innovation, too little variation, and too little life.
