James Murphy's project has two crucial elements to it. First there's insightful, cutting, often hilarious and only slightly sneering look at the music scene as displayed on his first single 'Losing My Edge'. Second there's quite obviously the music as best displayed on, well, first single 'Losing My Edge'. Almost five years later it seems the obvious crossover, but its more Murphy’s songwriting and that has lasted. 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' may almost be an indie-dance novelty record but 'Never as Tired As When I’m Waking Up' and 'The Tribulations' prove this is a classic. (Pete Hurst)
