小简介

LCD Soundsystem应该说是一支的的确确的One Man Band，The DFA Records的创办人之一，James Murphy，自己负责了整个乐队的人声与音乐的录制以及两者的合成制作。在最近几年美国比较流行Disco-Punk运动中，LCD Soundsystem可谓首屈一指的代表人物。说到James Murphy，他的身份不仅仅是著名组合The DFA的成员和DFA厂牌的老板之一，还曾作为Radio 4和The Rapture制作人成为Disco－Punk圈儿里最受尊崇的红人。

LCD Soundsystem debuted with Losing My Edge, a single that became one of the most talked-about indie releases of 2002. A self-effacing spoof of the outrageous pissing contests that often occur whenever music geeks cross paths (I was there at the first Can show in Cologne, etc.) laid over a puttering electronic beat with the occasional bursts of discoid clatter, the track was also one of the first released on the DFA label. Several magazines and newspapers would eventually declare James Murphy, the man behind both LCD Soundsystem and DFA, to be one of the coolest people on the planet. Years of obscurity and the occasional poor decision preceded this. Just before Murphy began to cut his teeth throughout the 90s, first as a member of Pony (an average post-hardcore band with heavy debts to their inspirations) and then with Speedking (a much stronger, more unique band), he passed up the opportunity to write for the popular sitcom Seinfeld. All the time spent toiling in indie rock took a toll on Murphy, but he built his own studio and became increasingly adept at engineering and producing other bands.While working on David Holmes Bow Down to the Exit Sign, he struck up a relationship with programmer/producer Tim Goldsworthy that developed into a partnership. By the end of 2002, there were several releases on Murphy and Goldsworthys DFA label, most of which involved the duo in some capacity. LCDs Losing My Edge, backed with an excellent neo-post-punk dance track called Beat Connection, was one of them. Murphy scattered three other LCD singles through the end of 2004 and released a self-titled full-length in January 2005. At the time of its release, the DFA label was more popular than ever; Murphy and Goldsworthy had remixes for Metro Area, N.E.R.D., Le Tigre, and Junior Senior behind them, as well as failed sessions with Britney Spears that mightve benefited from an interpreter. Janet Jackson was another unlikely admirer seeking the duos assistance, but Murphy didnt bother to follow up on her request. Sound of Silver, the second LCD album, came out in March 2007.
