11 electronic recordings 2012-2014.

No singing, no guitars.

"1D is largely a compilation of electronically generated Cole works that ebb and flow, undulate and pulsate, all slowly unravelling without the use of a keyboard, just mere program manipulations by the man himself.

The last few passages on the album veer away from the 'slight pieces' that form the basis of much of the music - more intense sweeping modulations accompany The Bund while the closing Strands resembles underwater shoals in rock pools changing direction at random. The real centrepiece though is the epic Slight Orchestra, a beautiful nine-minute odyssey that is captivating and compelling, if only due to its gradual build-up into something quite magical. If the intention was to create something as stunning as Eno, Moebius or, indeed, Roedelius, Lloyd Cole has done it in spades." FLIPSIDE REVIEWS
