however they need to improve in some areas - mainly, their live performances (i've heard too many people say how shit they are live, and these are big Ladytron lovers) - they also need to gig MORE
it took them ages to get their website sorted out, and its still not that great - it could be better for a band like this

Had my first three listens to Velocifoofoo today. After a few weeks with the "Ghost" remixes. For a band for whom I've purchased their complete works (I think) I don't know much about them at all. Which I realized is an incredible complement to how much I enjoy their music. At their worst, the giddy cheap thrill I got from Republica. At their best, everything kind everyone said about Siouxsie and Gary Newman, only better. Sure, there's throwaway tracks, but the singles are lush and effortless.

I'm surprised how little attention their new album is getting
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 07:24 (5 years ago) Permalink
As always.
'Velocifero' is not their best on the first listen, but still very good. There are a few filler tracks in the middle unfortunately, but the last two songs are brilliant.

I don't think digipack would put me off this, although for other things it certainly has. Seems too many people use digipacks as a way to avoid putting effort into liner notes and so on... which is unfortunate...

yeah I don't find it as good as 'Witching Hour' (how could it be) but it's definitely solid. It seems to me Ladytron are summarizing in high speed Depeche Mode's evolution (from cutesy synth pop to a sinister grinding monolith)
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 2 April 2009 15:55 (4 years ago) Permalink
Hahaha, nicely phrased. I saw them live two years back opening for NIN in London and they had pretty clearly settled into said latter status. Crowd loved 'em!

I wanted to like Ladytron, and I went to see them at the Leeds festival. Unfortunately, I had taken an anonymous pill I bought for £5 from a stranger, and spent the entire set hiding behind a pillar, convinced that if the band caught sight of me they would command the audience to tear me limb from limb, and quite possibly shoot lasers from their eyes. I have not summoned up the courage to listen to them since.

Well I guess Ladytron are only doing to Douglas P what he did to Oscar Brown jr, who didn't get credit when Doug pinched, via Jim Jones' People Temple Choir, the lyrics from his song "Brown Baby", recorded by Nina Simone...
Brown Baby - Oscar brown jr
Brown babyBrown babyAs you grow upI want you to drink from the plenty cupI want you to stand upTall and proudI want you to speak upSpeak up clear and cloud
Brown babyBrown babyAs years roll byWalk with your head held highI want you to live byLive by the justice codeI want you to walk downWalk down the freedom road
Brown babyBrown babyNow babyLie awayLie away sleepingLie away here in my armsWhile your mommy and daddy protect youAnd keep you save from harm
