Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0634904035327 Label: Xl Recordings Manufacturer: Xl Recordings MPN: 40353 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Xl Recordings Release Date: July 08, 2008 Studio: Xl Recordings Editorial Review: Product Description: Their third studio album, following 2006's "Classics." The characteristic guitar style is still present here, but there are an abundance of new textures, from Wurlitzer and mellotron to live rather than programmed percussion. The album will be preceded by the release of the limited edition 7-inch "Shiller", a completely beatless track which opens the new album. Album Description: LP3 is the third studio album from Ratatat, the follow-up to 2006's Classics and 2004's self-titled debut. Since the release of Classics, Ratatat have toured relentlessly, headlining shows around the world. They have added their unique sound to a remix of Bjork's `Wanderlust' and released the second in their acclaimed `Remixes' series, featuring bootleg remixes of Notorious BIG and Young Buck among others. 'Remixes Volume II' also featured exclusive new freestyles from Beans (Warp) and Despot (DefJux). Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great album!If you already own anything by these guys then you'll recognize the sound. This album grows a little bit more than previous releases. A lot more layering. Lots of reversed tracks to make for an eerie feel. Overall positive vibe for the album. I still listen to it a few times a week. Best part this record comes with a MP3 download code! Good for 3 downloads of a 76.9mb zip file Rating: - Fantastic!These guys are amazing. Groovy, fascinating, hip, psychedelic. I love all Rat's releases, but this is beyond those first two releases. LP3 is deeper, richer, still great to move your hips to. Beautiful. Rating: - You won't miss the lyrics!I was first introduced to Ratatat when my friend brought his iPod and docking station into our class in order to play music - radio in Boise isn't too great. I instantly had to find out what that was ("Lex" on Classics). I then bought that album and loved it. This one is better. They've gone more for a hip-hop feel on some of the songs, but some are completely different. They have more beeps and clicks, and a lot more variety between songs. If you want a good sampler of the album, listen to ... Read More Rating: - Groovy, International Flavor!With each release, Ratatat has further pushed the boundaries of modern instrumental music. In their first album, Ratatat, they introduced their sound, causing people to wonder "Is it electronic, video game-style music? Is it rock?" It's both! With Classics, they refined that sound, and indeed made a 'classic' album chock full of catchy tunes and interesting soundscapes. On LP3, while the pacing of the songs is largely similar to those in their previous albums, in that there are plodding, atmospheric ... Read More Rating: - Ratatat Evolves...This album is the next stop of Ratatat's evolution. For those that are fans & love their style and great craft, this is Ratatat 2.0. LP3 is a buffet of fantastic sound that will send you on a journey of ah. For those that are just getting into this band, you'll probably really enjoy LP3 if you're already into (what I like to call) elecro-rock, but one might start with their album before - Classics, which really is classic. |
