Super Furry Animals – Rings Around The World

The great Welsh wonders are back with a new album that is the first to be accompanied with a DVD of short animated videos of the songs. It is their fifth album but they just keep getting better and better. “Alternate Route To Vulcan Street” opens things up. It’s a very pretty song with a very full sound. Violins, synthesizers, pianos

LCD Soundsystem – Losing My Edge

This is an interesting tune. The song features a very solid and very danceable beat over some spoken word. And it’s really funny spoken word. He is talking about playing dance music to punk kids. After about six minutes of talking there is a small part where they sing “I don’t know what you really want”. The song is just bizarre but it gives me the urge to DANCE.
