Robin Saville and Antony Ryan, two English gentlemen who create music together under the nom de plume Isan, return with their sixth full-length album for their spiritual home of Morr Music. It's been a few years since Isan's previous outing, the delectable electronic esoterica of "Plans Drawn In Pencil", but the results, in time-honored Isan tradition, are certainly worth the wait. Opener, "Channel Ten," with its Autobahn-assured poise, appropriately prefigures a body of work that is Isan's finest to-date. A giddy sense of enjoyment suffuses the album -- from the glistening rush of "Merman Sound" which segues into the soft-focus sound-world of its own coda seamlessly to the cinematic, tech-y strut of "Grissette" or the calmly oscillating and cascading melodies of "Greencracked," which evoke images of a retro-futurist utopia. Isan have always excelled at fashioning a quietly awe-inspiring music and Glow... is no exception. Such is the album's celestial, hot-wired circuit-board wizardry; Glow In The Dark Safari Set positively throbs, ebbs and flows with electronically refracted ideas and melodies -- a digital tone poem sitting somewhere betwixt the cozy experimentation of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the exotic sonic emissions of a topsecret Düsseldorf studio circa 1975.
