has anyone heard this yet?



just given it its first listen and its blimmin ace! didnt really like the first album that much, but this ones well good!



nice and concise, no more 10 minute overly-repetitive post-punk nu-wave jams, just a slicker, funkier take on the whole 'good bits of the eighties' vibe



double thumbs up from the mips.

yeah got it a few months ago. bloody good album far better than the first which was great in places but didn't have the quality to sustain the 2 cds.

The track i keep hearing on the radio is quality, something about being North American?

it sounds far better then the first, not many tracks but o so beautifull. I like ''someone great'' it remembers me when i was a little boy, my dad also loves it. The same for ''all my friends'', this album is a good step its more professional. I Love it 8)

i reckon all my friends is aceness as well, in fact it feels a bit chems like with its arrangements/melodies and stuff.



ripe for a remix i reckon - id love to see what they could do with that piano :D

Got it a few days ago and it's a very good album. I think the first one had some better tracks but as a whole Sound of Silver is great.

Will buy it on payday, assuming I can find it here. Still love the first album.

got it at bestbuy for $15



Opened up the plastic seal and found the cover was cracked }:-@ I hate when that happens. I would take it back but its just not worth it.



So far ive gotten through track 4, and its sounding pretty damn good. Must say that opening track Get Innocuous! is killer!



Looks like Pitchfork likes it as well....

Oh yeah, here's an article about James Murphy that I think some of you might like :D

James Murphy was nostalgic, too, but he yearned for a New York where sounds collided and styles followed suit, as outgrowths of creative chaos rather than traditions to fall back on. The only way to serve such a legacy was to reinvent it, so Murphy did what all restless scenemakers do?he started throwing parties.



Set in the empty lobby of a West Village office building, these affairs were legendarily wild, unhinged from any one scene. ?We had some of the original graffiti writers, Zulu Nation kids, guys who worked in movies, smelly Brooklyn punks, old dance-music people, Rosie Perez on crutches?it was the weirdest mix of people you could ever see,? Murphy says. ?I used to take two ecstasy pills, break them into quarters, and put them on the corners of the two turntables, and work my way through them as a D.J. set went on. I played Donna Summer, Kraftwerk, Public Image Ltd., the Beatles, the Stooges?anything. It really felt like something was happening.?



What was happening was a desegregation of sounds that made Murphy one of the city?s most celebrated musical characters. The disco-rock style he championed managed to stick, and he?s since plied it in a number of different guises: as a globe-trotting D.J., as a producer volleying ideas in his studio with the likes of Britney Spears, and as the leader of one of New York?s most exciting bands, LCD Soundsystem. All of Murphy?s work draws on an idea he proposed in his role as accidental impresario?that rock and disco could be reacquainted and could make a city move.



The duo bonded over boredom with New York, which they agreed was in a dire musical and cultural state with nothing but a legacy to trade on. ?This is where all the music I?d always referenced comes from,? says Goldsworthy. ?I expected break dancing on every corner. But then I came here and there was nothing going on whatsoever, just boring clubs and expensive bottle-service places.?



Gradually, Goldsworthy brought Murphy around to the pleasures of dance music. Drugs helped. Goldsworthy remembers the first time Murphy took ecstasy: ?The D.J. put on ?Tomorrow Never Knows? ??the Beatles song with booming drums on Revolver??and James was there dancing with his eyes closed. Everybody formed a ring around him and started chanting his name. James looked out and was like, ?Yeah!!!!!? ?



It was with Goldsworthy that Murphy threw his early parties and started working as a D.J., with an unusual participatory style?rather than stay hidden behind his turntables, he would jump out on the dance floor and throw his fists in the air. He took to his role as a cult hero and devoured anything that would keep him charged. ?My 30th-birthday cake,? he says, laughing, ?was 30 lines of coke on a Roxy Music record.?



With a scene catching on around them, Murphy and Goldsworthy started their own music production team and record label, both of which are known as DFA, short for Death From Above. Among the DFA roster of dance-rock acts is Murphy?s own LCD Soundsystem, which started as a ?theoretical band.? Murphy positioned himself as dual figure?part rock star, part traitorous D.J. The LCD sound melded the synthetic rhythms of disco with rock?s cocksure vocals and loud guitars. The lyrics were pointed and off the cuff in the classic punk style. Murphy loved to rant against snobbery in all its incarnations.

Oi! Quite like some of the 10-min stuff! How can anyone NOT like "Yeah" - just goes on forever!! :D



Simply outstanding band though.



Caught 'em at the Astoria last week and they chucked in "Throw" by Carl Craig's Paperclip People at the end of the set, then even played Joy Division's "No Love Lost" in the encore.



Absolute quality.
