The Long Lost is the first studio album by American electronic musician Daedelus and their wife Laura Darlington under the name The Long Lost.[1] It was released on Ninja Tune in 2009.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying: "It may not work for everyone, especially someone looking for the visceral thrills of a Daedelus record, but if you are captured, you will end up captivated by The Long Lost."[1] August Howard of XLR8R gave the album a 7 out of 10, saying: "While The Long Lost may not be a groundbreaking effort, it's unquestionably a pleasant listen."[3] David Abravanel of Cokemachineglow said: "Inevitably, boredom, cynicism, and even jealousy may arise as issues here, but it's hard not to be momentarily entranced by something so loving and so strange."[2]
