Mu-tron (2001)

Mu-tron (2001)

The very first LT track on an album, Mu-tron reminds me of a machine which starts functioning very slowly. It clearly shows what to expect musically from the following tracks on the album (but overall from LT) and - although no vocals here - it’s as good as the second album’s opening, True Mathematics.

Jet Age (2001)

Jet Age (2001)

Track no. 15 on the first album starts in fast-paced rhythm but Helen’s voice quickly takes over and Jet Age transforms into a conventional pop song - but a great one. The verses do a good job in setting up the refrain which is quite memorable but the real highlight comes at 2:38 where we hear something like a Greek guitar (in a LT track you will never know for sure if you really heard a guitar…).

Album review

Discotraxx (2001)

Discotraxx (2001)

One of the best tracks from the debut album 604, Discotraxx relies clearly on the sound, even the refrain is instrumental. Not that the verses are “just there”, they also carry the song to a perfect harmony between music and vocals. And there is also time for Mira’s Bulgarian monologue which is always welcome. The live versions (check for example Sofia, KCRW) are even more complex, richer in the sound - and beautiful.
