Top 20 Albums of 2010. Number 18.

18. Miami Horror - Illumination
As a concept album, Illumination’s song titles and overall impact draw from one theme, light. Each song depicts a different shade, taking listeners on a ride through electro-pop, shiny disco and deep-funk affiliations. Two years ago, when Miami Horror’s Benjamin Plant recorded and released his EP, Bravado out of a makeshift studio in his bedroom, The Justice meets Daft Punk meets Midnight Juggernaughts comparisons ensued. However, Plant’s overlaying of synths and guitar make it hard to pigeon hole Miami Horror into a genre or era; but it’s tracks like I Look To You, Sometimes, Moon Theory and Soft Light that make Illumination a favourite in the electro boundaries.
