    Together ["You Are My Destiny" and "Pressure Danger"], they round out an album that, even at its least remarkable, ably demonstrates the Juan MacLean's skill with dance beats. It's hard not to feel a little disappointed after the unmitigated triumph of In a Dream. But The Brighter the Light makes for an easy enough sampler of the duo's work outside the aforementioned opus.

    The collection concludes with its title track, a dreamy blend of starry arpeggios and reflective yet buoyant pianos. A magnificent release from an act who have remained DFA's most reliable signing without ever sticking to a tried-and-true formula.

    This collection shows the old tricks have served them brilliantly so far, and The Brighter The Light works as it says it will, leaving us with a lasting high.
