Groove Armada - Black Light

[lazyitus]

Purchased this 'album' a couple of weeks ago.

Outstanding !

What is their earlier stuff like ? If it's similar, I may be making some additional purchases over the weekend.

Each of their albums is slightly different to be honest, but each is very very good in its own way.
I've tended to prefer their earlier stuff (Goodbye Nightclub.., Vertigo, Lovebox and The Vaults (a collection))

This was one of the best gigs I've been to:

Their mix albums like Late Night Tales and Back To Mine are also very very good.

I've never really liked any of their albums until Black Light. Which is awesome.

I'll check out some tunes later on youtube.

'Just for tonight' is the most beautiful song since 'All I need' by Air.

I've just had a listen to that on the 'tube for the first time. Very good. Very good indeed.

I still prefer "Chicago", though.

That's one hell of a statement, will need to check it out when I get home

They were excellent at Glastonbury this year...

I saw them in Glasgow at the beginning of the year. Tbh wasn't too sure on the new stuff, but loved the old tunes

I wouldn't say that Black Light was indicative of their earlier stuff. 'History' and 'Just For Tonight' are great, but lots of the others are a bit shouty for my tastes.

The last one (Soundboy Rock) was much more my cup of tea, and didn't leave my CD player for a large part of 2007.

On an unrelated note, mentioning Cup Of Tea made me think of this.

Epic - just downloaded and listening to now. Glad I started this thread, great recommendation!

Cheers

We are going to see the last gig of their tour at Brixton in Oct! can't wait! TBH, Black Light took a bit of playing to really gell. Initially i thought it might be a bit week (compared to some of there previous stuff), but, crank it up, leave it spinning and it really starts to hit home (esp. shamless with Bryan Ferry ) And live, they are even better, Song For Mutya at Glasto in 2008 (iirc) with the lasers was just incredible
