UncutA considerable advance on predecessor 604.... This is sublime, subtle, subversive stuff. [Dec 2002, p.150]
-
The songs are intriguing and engaging, invoking the ability to make audiences to both dance and pay attention to how well the music has been produced.
-
BlenderLadytron's doom-laden arrangements feel as accomplished as Radiohead jamming with the Pet Shop Boys. [#10, p.120]
-
Ladytron has succeeded at programming a record so distant that you'll wonder just what comprises the wind beneath their wires.
-
One of the better and more engaging nu-electro albums.
-
Ultimately, the album's even-handed mix of [vocalists Helen] Marnie and [Mira] Aroyo makes Light & Magic a tasty cocktail of fiery sensuality and icy perfection.
-
Only problem is, though, Ladytron still sound too self-consciously detached and robotic for us to view this as a great leap forward.
