Eat Lights Become Lights biography
EAT LIGHTS BECOME LIGHTS (or ELBL) is an modern krautrock and alternative band from London formed by Neil RUDD in 2007. The sound of ELBL is considered by RUDD to be an extension of German experimental music of the 70s, and in creating it he is at present joined by drummers John BARRETT and Matt DONAVAN and bass player Al BAKER. Over several years they released a couple of albums and have had regular live concerts, especially in Klub Motorik for which they became renowned; also in 2010, ELBL was one of 'Sound Carriers', musicians that are a part of Damo SUZUKI's network of people who work with him in his live performances.

Recommended to fans of bands like CAN, NEU!, KRAFTWERK or CLUSTER as well as ambiental music like for example by Steve REICH.

Review by LearsFool

This album of Eat Lights' leans particularly heavily on electronics, and with this being their style of electronica being done best this is a masterwork. Their electronic half blends Berlin School styles and mores with modern styles and mores, here mainly indietronic, and makes sure to send it through the prog wringer. Results are spectacular when they are in form. The title track is a wonderful piece of progified indietronic, and "Rowley Way Outlook" is a very atmospheric and dynamite track. Those and the also ethereal "Habitat '67" are the best tracks. In general, the band proved they could set aside their krautrock tendencies and still come out with a great record. All electronica fans, especially prog electronic and indietronic fans, will love this work.

Eat Lights Become Lights is at once a band of krautrock revivalists, of Berlin School revivalists, and of modern electronic artists. They play a motley mix of krautrock and various electronic sounds in a generally trance style. They do pretty good work, but it isn't too much to write home about. "Velocet Vir Nesat" is the best track, opening this album with a krautrock leaning heavy trance guitar, backed by bass, drums, and an electronic atmosphere. Beyond, there are some great krautrock pieces, and decent electronic pieces - they've done great electronics in the past, but that side of their style has lost some of its edge here. This of course sinks the record to a degree. Still, a nice, enjoyable selection of tracks. Recommended, and I would hope the band get back to top form for their next release.

Thanks to historian9 for the artist addition.
