Not all dance music should make you dance. In fact at its best, dance music should probably reduce its listeners to a mild mannered sway or a transcendental stupor, a ritualistic physical shut down that allows you to focus on the mind rather than your latest dance move.
Don't be alarmed, as pseudo-spiritual as all this sounds, the debut No Certain Night Or Morning by Home Video is not a relaxation tape but rather a (backwards/forwards/sideways) step into an electronic era where subtlety and sadness are not necessarily bad things. To help contextualise such sweeping statements, think New Order and Depeche Mode with a pinch of The Presets' ‘Girl And The Sea', one cup of joy, two spoons nostalgia, and shaken well.
The one thing you don't have to worry about is Home Video being half-baked.
