This is my first write up in what is probably now 4 months. Having established the site in all it’s glory with the aesthetics, links and of course building the network to inform you all about my finds has been no easy task. Then, bizarrely, a block has been built and I’ve felt that I cannot write anything. A loss of interest has wormed it’s way into my soul and quite simply, I’ve got to the point of lethargy to which I almost had no return from. It was going to take something special that would truly move me. Something that could spark my appetite and rekindle the magic if you like. So now I introduce you to an established group that has only recently came across my ears. LCD Soundsystem.

They’ve had their latest release The Sound Of Silver out and about since 2007. Where do I find it? A new entry in the UK Dance Charts a fortnight ago. So, over two years out and then all of a sudden it’s labelled as a new entry?! How strange. But when I listened to this record I felt that perhaps it was of no surprise.

As the album continues there is a fantastic crossover of genres as each track dabbles in another. We have the edges of punk on North American Scum and Watch The Tapes. Funky tunes such as Time To Get Away and one or two delightful and uplifting records such as All My Friends. Over the last two weeks of initially hearing this track it has become the one of the most played on the jukebox in my local watering hole. What I like most is the fact that people are asking me who this is, what this track is and I get to tell them. It’s brilliant.

Every track on this record is as unique as the previous one. All of which are individual, brilliant and worth listening to many, many times over. An excellent album.

I could go on about every track individually but there’s no point, it’s all good.

If you like only bits of punk, or some funky tunes or just a little bit of dance and rock. This is genuinely an eclectic combination and no album can truly define that any better.
