“Electronic yet profoundly human, it blends cinematic lyrics with shadowy soundscapes to explore themes of memory, mortality and the fragile hope that lies between them”
SONIC SEDUCER
“A deeply moving work of atmospheric breadth and emotional precision. Possesses a quiet, almost cinematic intensity that touches the listener without pathos, yet breathes hope”
ORKUS
“Maintains the melancholy that defined their earlier catalogue while exploring more downtempo and moody sounds”
I DIE: YOU DIE
“A stripped-back electronic soundtrack underpinning a tale of introspection and disappointment. It may not cheer the heart, but it sure makes gloom sound romantic”

‘Light Of Other Days’ is the fourth album by Lost Signal aka US electronic musician Charles Rehill. It is a relatively swift follow-up to ‘Anatomy Of Melancholy’, issued in late 2024 as the first Lost Signal album for sixteen years. Both albums have been released by Metropolis Records.
Framed by the instrumental overture ‘Departure’ and its closing counterpart ‘Return’, ‘Light Of Other Days’ is an emotional journey through themes of memory, mortality and hope. Songs like ‘Dream Within A Dream’ and ‘Before Today’ wrestle with despair, resilience and the illusions we all cling to, while ‘Entropy’ expands the frame to cosmic finality. The album is a haunting meditation on what we remember, what we invent and what inevitably fades.
‘Entropy’ was issued in late August as the album’s first single, followed in October by ‘Not The End Of Me’, which was made available as part of a remix package EP (including treatments by Assemblage 23, Magic Wands and SYSTEM SYN) that also included new versions of ‘Entropy’ (by genCAB and Rehill himself).
Based in New York State, Rehill’s musical career began in the late ‘90s when he signed his first record deal while still in his teens. Production and sound design work subsequently led to jobs working for synth manufacturers. A collector of hardware electronic equipment, he is inspired by the melodic vibrancy of composers ranging from Vangelis to Ólafur Arnalds.
