4.0 out of 5 stars BEING SEDUCED BY LADYTRON September 13, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Ladytron release album number 5 "Gravity The Seducer" which is the follow up to 2008's excellent "Velocifero" and comes after a spell of hanging out with legendary producer Brian Eno(who thinks they are brilliant!), who was once a member of Roxy Music who are the band that Ladytron got their name from as they have a song called "Ladytron". His influence can be heard on the album that sees them add new scope to their sound. It's an album that sees them experiment with different styles than ever before.

This is evident on the smooth opener "White Elephant" the song features a haunting sounding keyboard sound in the background. Ladytron listeners will already be familiar with "Ace Of Hz" as it was already included on carear retrospective "Best of 00-10". The Brian Eno influence is really heard on the 3 instrumental tracks on the album the pick of which is "Transparent Days", "Ritual" would probably have worked better with vocals from either Helen Marnie or Mira Aroyo. the third instrumental track is album closer "Aces High".

If any movie director is looking for a good horror style track then they should take a listen to the chilling and haunting "Moon Palace" which really is helped by Mira Aroyo's cold style of vocal. The song "White Gold" is also haunting sounding in a weird eighties sounding way. "Ninety Degrees" is a track that well get repeated listens with both vocalists on fine form. The album recalls elements and influence from Kraftwrek, Gary Numan, Curve, Brian Eno and The Human League but still having an original feel.

With "Gravity The Seducer" Ladytron may have released their most experimental album to date and longtime fans might be disappointed that the big beats have been replaced by a more mellower sound but it's an album that on repeated listens will show that Ladytron have plenty left to offer and will continue to evolve.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Ladytron to Date September 21, 2011
By John
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
Gravity the Seducer is Ladytron's best effort to date with a mix of songs that push musically beyond anything that they've put out before. Favorites of mine include 90 Degrees, Mirage, Ace of Hz and White Elephant. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that there is some filler material but all in all, a very strong effort!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks like an old Saga record, sounds like new Ladytron! September 27, 2011
Format:MP3 Music
Ladytron has a very unique distinction in my music fandom; they take up 10 slots on the CD wall, and I've seen them in concert - yet, I don't know a single member's name, nor would likely recognize them walking down the street. And that's OK. Proper album #5 is a dazzler. It takes one of my favorite songs from the catalog (Witching Hour's lush and romantic International Dateline) and expands it out to album form. This album is a delicious tapestry of ear candy - ideal for dinner parties (along with the Royksopp catalog). I just cooked a huge dinner while lost in the haunting melodies.

The album artwork looks (and smells) like a really old LP, something you discovered in the basement and are suddenly rediscovering. Except the year is 2030 and you're looking back on what now is still a very futuristic sound. A must-have for Ladytron and Felix da Housecat die-hards. Newbies should check out 604 and Witching Hour first. After reading (and loving) the other reviews, I realized I need to revisit their last album Velicifero - I gave up on that one early without forming too much of an opinion on it.

In fact, this isn't even an ordinary album. It's not an album at all; it's a collection of songs. This difference should be appreciated before purchase. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It took a while for me to warm to this...
...but once I did, and I got the mood, I thoroughly enjoy it. This is perhaps Ladytron's most consistent album, but also depressing and dark. And that's just the way I like it.
