Two years on from the release of Heaven Electric Part 1, DaRand Land returns to Saft offshoot Pulp with a second installment. There's something particularly evocative about the techno bass, cascading electric pianos and bittersweet chord progressions of snappy opener "Our Future Now", which also comes accompanied by a fine remix by Linkwood. His interpretation is little less than sublime, reinventing Land's original as a yearning chunk of melancholic electro. Flip for the retro-futurist Chicago deep house throb of "Emanation" - think Larry Heard with a touch of Ron Trent thrown in - and the slick, dub-influenced dream house wooziness of "Mellow-ism".
