Ladytron – Light & Magic. Overlong and cheekily derivative in places, but it’s hard not to like the machine-tooled, leftfield pop of this album. On saying that, the girls seemed fairly unmoved by it. Best at its most uncompromising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r7bSYz1-QY
Not listened to that in full for a while, but the title track is one of my very favourite 'Tron tracks. Kind of reminds of 70s Jean-Michel Jarre, in a good way.

Absolutely. As I said, listening to it again, I was surprised how much it lifted from elsewhere. For instance, 'Seventeen' is basically a cooler version of Blur's 'Boys & Girls'!
