Anyone else here like Ladytron, they have a new album soon (which has Sugar on it - the track that they contributed to the porn cd hehe

)

Heard a couple of songs of them I believe... Isn't it the band of the guy who used to be Les Rythmes Digitales?

I know only a remix they did of Little Kids by Kings of Convenience.

No they have nothing to do with Les Rhythmes Digitales, rather bizarrely I think the band come from Liverpool UK and Bulgaria!

There is a single coming out in April, followed by an album in May - The album has been produced by Jim Abbis, who has worked with Bjork, Darling, Mono, Sneaker Pimps. Expect a harder edge to them more in the vein of a techno electro Curve. If you can find the track Sugar, which is on the new album, it is well worth it. They have now signed to Island Records after Victoria Beckham bankrupted their previous label!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked their first two albums, but that "Sugar" single was a bit of mis-step. I hope they've redone it for the album and made it less guitar-oriented.

I really like the guitar drone on Sugar, besides electroclash is so 2002 hehe!

Yes, but please give me a melody! [disguise]

I am looking forward to their album though!

I picked up a copy of their debut Japanese EP Miss Black the other day, was very good!!

Incidently they are using Playgirl on a Bra advert here in Australia!

[crazy]

I have to say, i dislike Ladytron very much. they're like a weak version of ADULT.

also, their vocalist sounds like Dolores of the Cranberries.

and, there used to be a lot more forumers it seems, looking through back pages

Dear god no, Adult are really really awful and nothing like Ladytron. The best thing Adult ever did was let their singer have a moment of glory with Death In Vegas before skulking back to their faux Siouxsie Sioux electro-crap.

Ladytron are a whole hi-rise above the tinny electropunk of Adult!!!!!

D:

The Tinny Punk of ADULT. vs the Opressive Synths of Ladytron.

light and magic was amazing
their new album (not the remix)
was alright but no where near light and magic.

604 was ok too

The problem for me with Witching Hour is that it somewhat pulls it's punches too early on, and the albums second half seems to run out of steam.

I absolutely love their cover of Oops.
