This is the second solo album by the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset for Bugge Wesseltoft's Jazzland label, and as a follow-up of the well received debut album Électronique Noire, it had much to live up to, and did not disappoint. Also this time ambience and club rhythms are present, but the music lives a life of itself and has become a truly separate organism. Light Extracts is an album from the top shelf.[4][5]
AllMusic critique Thom Jurek, in his review of Aarset's album Light Extracts states:
| ... Basses rattle in the underpinned rhythmic center as Aarset's guitar plies a textural schema trying to get to and undo the fixed center of the track. He loose-hands his way around the fretboard, playing against the rhythm and on top of it until everything gives way to some new form of musically crystalline darkness. Light Extracts is light years ahead of everybody in this game and a few notches above his first effort. This is the cat to watch....[2] |
The AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek awarded the album 4.5 stars,[2] and the reviewer Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 4.[3]
