Light & Magic (2002)

Light & Magic (2002)

This is the title song of the second album and it sounds perfect in the album (track no. 14) - and also in the live version. The latter is a straightforward pop song with the typical LT-sound; for the former one would say “it’s like Jean-Michel Jarre” but I don’t agree with that. It’s a great summary of LT’s first two albums, while for the third one, Velocifero, the sound became more powerful, more Ladytron-esque.

Intro

Instead of a long introduction let’s see and hear why Ladytron is one of the best pop groups of this century. Either in studio…


Or on stage…



…the music of LT features great songwriting, memorable lyrics and a truly unique sound which is a masterful mixture of pop, electronic music and the eighties (and here I won’t start with the Kraftwerk-bullshit, you will get enough of that from the articles shown later).

Besides the articles I will take a closer look at all the tracks from the albums (6 released since 2001: 604, Light & Magic, Witching Hour, Velocifero, Gravity the Seducer and Ladytron - self-titled) also with an emphasis on the various live versions (Live at London Astoria etc.).

As for the articles (which feature single- and album reviews, interviews with the band, concert reviews etc.) special thanks go to Craig who did a great job of collecting LT stuff over the years.
