Guest hahathhat Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) their first two albums are amazing. light & magic is particularly special and nostalgic for me. i saw them live and they were good... third album was a miss, but the fourth picked up again. eager to hear their fifth! edit: First: 604 Second: Light & Magic Third: Witching Hour Fourth: Velocifero Fifth: Gravity the Seducer (2011) (according to wiki...)

Guest disparaissant Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 i actually really like the witching hour. it's certainly no 604 but it has its charms. but yeah i've been a big fan since... god, i dunno, the beginning? i downloaded 604 off of napster. a perennial favourite. looking forward to new stuff.

Cryptowen Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 When I was younger the third one was my favourite, but the first two more synth-poppier ones grew on me over time. Haven't listened to them in a couple of years, but was thinking about digging Light & Magic out just the other day, actually.

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah I bought the first two when they came out but skipped Witching Hour, only hearing Velocifero recently. Might rip the earlier CDs now. Mira was my teen phhhantasyyy. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64756-ladytron/#findComment-1542136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 i wager ladytron is gradually outpacing aphex in terms of time listened ! witching hour has a few good tracks -- sugar, for example -- but it felt too overproduced. too rinsed in reverb and deep concrete echos. i didn't feel the immediate emotional connection i felt with the first two albums, instead it felt monolithic and far less friendly. fourth still has that reverb-y production but the songs do the job a lot better...

Guest hahathhat Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Quote Ladytron will release their fifth full-length album, Gravity The Seducer, on September 12 (UK) / September 13 (US). The album finds Ladytron framing the vocal melodies of twin singers Mira Aroyo and Helen Marnie within their most cinematic production to date. Gravity The Seducer was recorded this past summer in the Kent countryside with co-producer Barny Barnicott, who also worked on their third record Witching Hour and is wrapped in gorgeous artwork from now regular collaborator, Neil Krug. Gravity The Seducer Track Listing: 1. White Elephant 2. Mirage 3. White Gold 4. Ace of Hz 5. Ritual 6. Moon Palace 7. Altitude Blues 8. Ambulances 9. Melting Ice 10. Transparent Days 11. 90 Degrees 12. Aces High then there are some european tour dates too. a tad nervous reading that description -- witching hour is my least-favorite ladytron album, largely due to the "cinematic" production. so much reverb the songs got buried. they came back a bit with velocifero.... hope the dude doesn't ruin this album too.

Guest Lucy Faringold Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Really digging White Elephant and looking forward to the new stuff. Some really great quality videos (despite a bit of vocal clipping) of a show in Russia appeared on Youtube a few days ago. They're making me think pretty hard about catching them on tour: Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64756-ladytron/#findComment-1586338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hahathhat Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 that song is from light & magic, and it is amazing album. plenty of songs just as good as seventeen on there... but that one's definitely top three. ;) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64756-ladytron/#findComment-1586453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Cannot get into them, I've tried time and time again. I have a friend who listens to a bunch of speedcore and other hardcore genres, but he loves this band.

The Green Kingdom Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I think Playgirl might still be their best track, but I'm only really familiar with their first couple albums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlCjRuo8ayM They are really good live too with the full band.

QBLA Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 All I know about them is that my friends that aren't really into electronic music like ladytron. and a video of their faces inside snowy mountains(?) that I didn't like much.

dr lopez Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 MIRA IS HOT AND BULGARIAN. I like Ladytron. When I want synthpop i'll usually listen to the real deal from the 80s but it's good now too!

Cryptowen Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I like fun 80s throwback Ladytron, & cinematic electronic rock Ladytron (but especially Light & Magic which is a bit different from both), so I look forward to this album either way.

Drix Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Always loved Ladytron, ever since the first album. I still think they make great albums but they take more time to get into than the first ones, and that's usually a good thing! I quite like the new track although it was nothing like I expected.
