LCD Soundsystem once again pleases me with this positively-charged release. "Beat Connection" drew me to searching far and wide for this song, which has everything I love in this style of electro: rock sensibilities, tribal rhythms, playful vocals, and an upbeat tempo.
Rated 5/5

oh yes,
i'll shamelessly rock both sides in one night: at a party, art opening, between punk bands, or at a dance club.
Both of these tracks rule and the sound quality is amazing. Anytime sombody tries to deride so called "electroclash" i point to this record -> so punk, so disco, so good! i should buy another copy cause i'm gonna wear this one to the ground.
Rated 4/5

This is an enchanting, wry commentry on musical elitism. It transcends the usual bracketing and subverts the notion of the musical rarity / accessiblity, reminding us that all the fetishism and condicending behaviour surrounding music scenes and genres is just self defeating. It does all this, and (lest we forget most importantly) it rocks.
Go get.... NOW!

another great release on the dfa label, this is a stab at all those wannabe music know-it-all scenesters who think they're on some new shit. i laugh because the lyrics are pure genius and the simple beat is great. music references of everything from yaz to daft punk to basic channel and afrika bambaataa make this a record worth listening too for its humor alone. whether you get it or not, "the jokes on you!" this record is brilliant!
