Released in October, The Lucid Dream's fourth album 'Actualisation' is an incredible piece of work. With its sci-fi flavours, sizzling hi hats, playful high-reaching synths, the contagious 'SX1000' is acid house-flavoured space disco music set to a sturdy marching rhythm, where the briefest splash of vocals are used instrumentally and sparingly to great effect while the repetition builds and fully takes hold with a vice like grip.The amount of different styles here is astonishing, and the way Mark Emmerson's band mix them all together is uniquely fascinating. Rebuilding their sound around the essence of their previous output, their resilience, defiance, reinvention and momentum have produced one of 2018's greatest records.
