    Definitely my favorite of their albums. Classics like "Daft Punk" and "Beat Connection".

    Only just discovered this actually (went to Wireless 2010 in Hyde Park, London and was blown away by the sheer magnitude of their performance - the crowd were too harsh to be fair). And I have to say this is the best album of 2004 - which was a dead a good year for indie music imho.
    The beats here are minimal, but incredibly nuanced. The longest song is even entirely instrumental, something rarely seen from modern bands, however please don't let this put you off as there isn't the "filler material" usually present on most bands' albums, since all of the songs are listenable and each have their own expressive quality, and it doesn't repetitive either which can only be a good thing.
    It's definitely my fave album from LCD SS, just due to the rich, layered and experimental guitars that feature on some of the tracks, like "Movement". It also features my fave closer on any album, and that's "Great Release". That song is comparable, if not better than any of the songs on "Play" by Moby.

Description

2007 reissue of the single disc version of the Electro Rock band's debut album featuring one bonus track: "Yr City's A Sucker". Originally released in 2005, LCD Soundsystem's self-titled debut lived up to all the hype surrounding it and featured a modern hodge-podge of electronic sounds that owed a huge debt to their influences but remained original and exciting. EMI.So much has been said about disco-punk's King Midas, New York musician/producer James Murphy, that it's kind of hard to believe that we've had to wait until 2005 for the debut album from his dancefloor project, LCD Soundsystem. LCD's classic triumvirate of early singles--"Losing My Edge," "Give It Up," and "Yeah"--joined the dots between punk-rock, disco, and funk in a way that hadn't been seen since the New York downtown scene of the early '80s, but these are bravely relegated to a bonus disc in favor of a suite of new material that reworks the band's influences in new, often explicit ways: take "Movement," for instance--a homage to the Fall that finds Murphy barking "It's a fat guy/ In a T-shirt/ Doing all the singing!" over punchy analog synths, or the quietly majestic "Great Release," a doff of the cap to Brian Eno circa Taking Tiger Mountain. For all his encyclopedic musical knowledge, however, it's one of Murphy's strengths that he seldom seems uptight about the practice of music-making: it's how he can get away with penning a gonzo disco-punk number and naming it something as fantastically flippant as "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House"--and more importantly, it's why LCD Soundsystem succeeds as a splendid dance record as well as a smart intellectual exercise. --Louis Pattison
