The DFA collective continues to imbue the underground with some of the most innovative and fun music around. LCD Soundsystem is certainly no exception, as their debut self-titled LP literally gyrates with dance punk/disco/funk/new wave tension. Think of a nasally congested Mark E. Smith [The Fall] or a cranked up Jim Carroll ["People who Died"] barking out sublime lyrics over sounds of The Fall versus a "funky" Underworld covering Brian Eno, John Lennon and Dead or Alive. Like many of their DFA label mates, LCD Soundsystem have taken the familiar elements of the late 70's and early 80's and molded them into a unique soundtrack for the 21st Century. This is a very fun listen and best of 2005 contender.
