The original song, Yage, was a part of The Future Sound of London's breakout release Dead Cities. It was a near-perfect soundscape that told part of a larger story throughout the album's runtime. While I don't know what prompted the guys to craft an entire album around the twenty-three year old song, I'm glad they did. The album takes everything that was good about Dead Cities and creates a near-perfect sequel. The feeling of traveling desolate, almost haunted, alien landscapes has returned for the new millennium making Yage 2019 the best thing the band have done in decades.
