I find 93 Million Miles a bit underwhelming at points. It’s quite rhythm-heavy but the rhythms generally sit in a muddy patch between the hypnotic effect of minimal techno and the juicy complexity of ‘IDM’. I thoroughly enjoyed my first half a dozen listens, don’t get me wrong, but I haven’t felt inspired to revisit it much since.
‘Our Luv’ is the standout track which harks back to Pritchard’s best work as Harmonic 313, and I think the reason it stands out is because it packs in more emotion than the rest of the album combined.

Perhaps I’m listening to this in the wrong context - I’m sure it’s all a lot more captivating at 1am on the dance floor. Enjoyable, but not essential listening.
7/10
