LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver

What a surprise Sound of Silver was. Anyone previously indebting late,
late nights to James Murphy's 'Yeah' duo (Crass Version/Pretentious Version)
must have been taken aback by the emotional intensity of LCD's sophomore
record. 'Someone Great' is standalone brilliance, which appears on LCD's
jogging ode '45:33' minus the weight of THOSE words: “To tell the truth I
saw it coming/the way you were breathing/but nothing can prepare you for
it/the voice on the other end”. All this above an orchestra of synths and
sticks, the throbbing of some mourning, it has to be! For anyone who
suffered a bereavement at the time of this record's release, it serves to
medicate some of the baffling, unnerving hurt. (Daniel Greenwood)
