Ladytron's first major blip on the radar was Another Breakfast With You, a tune forged from the same template of glacial synths and wry observation that make this album's Seventeen a contender for single of the year. Light and Magic sees their trademark electro-pop luxuriously fleshed out while avoiding the fries-with-that engorgement of Fischerspooner's; in fact the MMFF foursome (girls pout while men work the machines, natch) were ploughing this particular furrow long before some card slapped '-clash' on his old rope and started charging for it, and their devotion to the cause has yielded marvellously authentic results. Curled up in an adamantium time-bubble, their rhythms remain bluntly impassive while the synths slide over them like lipgloss, ballgown glamour roughing it on the dancefloor.
