I remember reading an interview with Helen Marnie where she said that Ladytron weren't quite over yet, and Daniel Hunt did work on her first solo album. Maybe they'll get back together after Marnie's second solo album, which I'm definitely looking forward to.

Turrican OTM - Witching Hour definitely top 5 of the decade for me. Driving a few years ago at night in a snow storm in Nevada with "Soft Power" playing remains a very-Bond like personal highlight.

"International Dateline" just melts me into a puddle of pathos and "Destroy" is obviously the megastomper of the millennium, but Velocifero is the album I bump the most to this day.

Velocifero is probably my second favourite record of theirs after Witching Hour

Same here (but I would think that this is a pretty un controversial opinion)

Witching Hour > 604 > Velocifero for me. Always found the latter a bit patchy and its best bits are kind of 'Witching Hour II' - "Burning Up" and "Versus" are among their best songs though.

I liked it
got a little scenestery with the effort to exactly pin years to when he got into different things, definitely on the cusp
