First Light, the aptly named first of the second album by the east London-based, mostly Scottish foursome, promised so much back in January: a bucolic disco rewrite of New Order, pointing towards nimbly expanded horizons for the former bedroom psychedelicists. But while Born Under Saturn certainly up-scales Django Django’s ambitions, some of their eclectic grooves don’t bowl you over as comprehensively as those on their Mercury-nominated debut did. All the new house pianos and nods to Kraftwerk - both appear on one track, Reflections – suggest a familiarity with dancefloors past, and songs such as Beginning to Fade maintain Django Django’s easy pop touch. Much of the rest, though, is merely good filler rather than truly great floor-filler.
