Daniel Land’s first album of songs, "Love Songs For The Chemical Generation", released with Daniel Land & The Modern Painters, was called "One of the finest shoegaze records of its time" by Drowned In Sound, and "Like Slowdive reimagined by Phil Spector" by the NME. The album is now widely considered to be a classic of the shoegaze genre, although Daniel remains, in the words of The Skinny, a "dreampop cult hero", known only to the shoegaze cognoscenti. Daniel has also released a series of atmospheric landscape music as riverrun, and has collaborated with artists as varied as The Steals, Bing Satellites, Ask For Joy, and the German electronica genius Ulrich Schnauss. Daniel was also a member of the dream-pop supergroup Engineers, around the time of their third album In Praise of More. Lauded by Guy Garvey, Marc Radcliffe, Tom Robinson, and many others, he makes the kind of music that, in the words of BBC Radio 1's Rob Da Bank, "You can't help think the late John Peel would have loved".
