The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem Live at Madison Square Garden is a live album by the New York City dance-punk band LCD Soundsystem. It is a near-unedited live record, comprising what was billed at the time as their "final" show, held at Madison Square Garden in 2011. Like the show, the record runs approximately three hours and presents 28 songs divided into five LPs. The record follows the live in studio record London Sessions, also from 2011.
Recorded at the famed Electric Lady Studios in NYC’s Greenwich Village – Electric Lady Sessions is a double album live collection featuring classic LCD Soundsystem songs, three covers, and newer material from the band’s # 1 album from 2018, American Dream.
American Dream (stylized on digital releases as american dream) is the upcoming fourth studio album by American rock band LCD Soundsystem. It is set for release on September 1, 2017 through DFA Records and Columbia Records. It was first announced on January 5, 2016, the day after it was revealed that the band was reuniting after a disbandment lasting nearly five years. American Dream acts as the band's first album in seven years, following This Is Happening (2010). Prior to the album's release, LCD Soundsystem performed at large music festivals as well as smaller shows to promote their reunion. Two album tracks, "Call the Police" and "American Dream", were released together as the album's lead single on May 5, 2017.
Mojo's bespoke Man Machine collection underlines Ralf's points perfectly, spanning three decades and showcasing the genre's evolution.
The pioneering sounds of Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre sit alongside the second-gen electronic adventurers Ultravox, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and The Orb, while the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Fujiya & Miyagi, Four Tet, Audion and M83 are among those who continue to push the genre forward.
Welcome, then, to a revolution in sound, and a compilation that proves just how far things have progressed since Autobahn's release was met with the critical, quizzical side-swipe of "It's good, but is it rock?"
