Summary: Essential
Comment: Album of 2008?
If Ladytron were a company they would be Apple. Always improving, making great product after great product. A brand you can trust.
Velocifero builds on the 'dance music played on real instruments' concept of "Witching hour", and brings in the classic themes of early albums.
Stunning tracks are 'Deep Blue', 'Runaway' and 'Versus'. I am not too keen on 'Ghosts' but I am sure it will sneakily grow on me.

Summary: Black Cat & Spooks
Comment: I can't begin to tell you how good this CD is. Ladytron is no lightweight, but raw and real, unlike majority of homogenized, over processed, over synthesized stuff out there. Cross vintage Depeche Mode with Shiny Toy Guns, big drums, and total originality, and you have this amazing synthesis of fresh sound infused with post-punk alchemy. The Bulgarian-sung lyrics of "Black Cat" are delicious. "Ghosts" (great f**k-you song) "There's a ghost in me who wants to say I'm sorry, doesn't mean I'm sorry." That's right. Get over it people. "Deep Blue" is better than anything by the Chemical Brothers. Why isn't this group better known? Ride the magic hard through the night with lightening flashing electricity. Enjoy. Who has to be good all the time?

Summary: Addictive
Comment: I heard the prerelease of Black Cat and I was hooked on this album. I could not wait for it to come out. While I was waiting I bought Wiching Hour which is also fabulous. I can listen to this record over and over, it never burns out. I am listening to it right now as I write this review. It is a wonderful combination of Gothic, Techno, Electro Pop, and a lushness that only Ladytron has. I highly recomend this album. It is going on my list of best records of 2008.

Summary: I love this album
Comment: Last weekend I was at my favorite record store when I took a listen to the new Ladytron cd VELOCIFERO. I always wanted to hear their music but never had the opportunity until now. Needless to say I ended up leaving the store with VELOCIFERO in hand. I haven't been able to stop listening to VELOCIFERO since last weekend. Normally I am not into the sort of dance music Ladytron makes but I really enjoyed all 54 minutes. VELOCIFERO reminded me a mish mash of Lush, My Bloody Valentine, and Goldfrapp from their BLACK CHERRY era. The song that convinced me was "Ghosts". Helen Marnie reminded me of the women from the Lush with her sweet, intoxicating yet eerie vocals. Helen's vocals is a nice contrast to the often monotonous vocals of Mira Aroyo. I enjoyed all of the songs on the album but my personal favorite song on the album has to be "Versus". I love the male/female vocals, plus I find the song irresistably infectious. I definitely consider VELOCIFERO one of my top ten favorite albums of 2008.
