After three singles, the long-awaited debut of LCD Soundsystem - that is, James Murphy, the creator of the DFA label together with James Goldsworthy - has arrived, and it's safe to say the wait was not in vain. For the past two years, the name DFA has become synonymous with the punk-funk revival, and after the popularity boom of their protégés The Rapture, there hasn't been a magazine that hasn't praised everything they've produced. Therefore, it's understandable the hype surrounding the release of this record, as is the fear of finding oneself holding a mediocre product. This is not the case, as the good Murphy constructs an excellent album, musically varied and inspired, whose only flaw may perhaps be its attempt to please both the faithful DFA followers and listeners less accustomed to the electronic beat, with the risk of disappointing both.
The album ranges from the hypnotic pace of Too Much Love, to the typical DFA sound of On Repeat, to the austere beats very much in the Kraftwerk style of Thrills, and the electro groove of Tribulations. However, the tracks that deviate from the typical LCD sound are the best: the opening Daft Punk Is Playing At My House, driven by a "pumping" bass, the post-punk tension complete with guitar clanging (an absolute rarity in these parts) of Movement, the almost ambient final track Great Release, culminating with Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up, an unlikely ballad mid-way between early '70s Pink Floyd and the Beatles of Let It Be.
For just 15 euros, you'll take home the album, and the bonus CD with all the singles produced by our featured artists, Losing My Edge included.

Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
01 Daft Punk Is Playing at My House (05:16)
Daft punk is playing at my house, my house
I'll show you the ropes, kid, show you the ropes
Got a bus and a trailer at my house, my house
I'll show you the ropes kid, show you the ropes
I bought fifteen cases for my house, my house
All the furniture is in the garage
Well daft punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up
You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up
You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up
Cow bell solo
Well everybody's lined up in my house, my house
And Sarah's girlfriend is working the door
Got everybody's PA in my house, my house
All the robots descend from the bus
There's a freak out brewing in my house, my house
In the basement
'Cause daft punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up
You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up
You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up
And never, never let them go
No never, never, never let them go
Never, never, never let them go
Let them go

02 Too Much Love (05:42)
What will you say when the day comes
When it's no fun
When it's all done
When it's no fun
What will you say when the time comes
There's a dry run when it's undone
And there's no one
When it's too much love
Too much love
Too much
It's too much love
Too much love
Too much
What will you do when you wake up
Fatten you up
Fasten you up
Fatten you up
No memories to get cloudy
To get cloudy when you can't see
What you can't see
It's all the same when it's morning
And you're boring
Still ignoring everything
No memories to remind you
Of the old you
Nothing for it
Just keep it up, keep it up
With no memory
With no memory
With no memory
To keep you up at night
03 Tribulations (04:59)
Everybody makes mistakes
but i feel alright when i come undone
you're not making me wait
but it seems alright as long as something's happening
i try to make you late
but you fight me off like a fire does
you try making me wait
but it feels alright as long as something's happening
get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations
you try to make me wait
you come around when it's come undone
everybody makes you late
and it's never you because you're always thinking
i try making you wait
and give you me some like you give it good
everybody makes mistakes
but it seems it's mine that always keep on stinging
get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations
x2
you try making me wait
but you come undone when you come undone
everybody makes mistakes
but it's always mine that seem to keep on sticking
get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations
