Yes yes yes.
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great (removed - see comments for the full story)
The new album is out March 20th and if it sounds this good, then we are fortunate people indeed. Lots have other blogs have posted tracks, and then had to remove them. I managed to grab this one before DFA's swat team of lawyers swept down on them. Let's see how good they are, because if they find my blog here in the deepest darkest recesses of the internet, then they are very impressive indeed (clue: they are impressive).

I had no probs opening this track and the sound quality was fine. It REALLY reminds me of something and it's making my brain hurt thinking what it might be!!!! ....it's the xylophone....hhmmm.

It downloads a total of 1.07kbs, so you don't get the song...but you can open the link to listen to it.
So listening works...but downloadies don't.
Ah, I loves me some James Murphy. You get that Nike thing they did - 45:33?
Obviously I will never ever listen to it while I jog, but its still absolutely ace.
The link works fine, downloads more or less instantly, and the sound is excellent, not too compressed.
The song is really familiar-sounding, as is most of LCDs stuff. The synth-sound reminds me of early Human League.
In a good way.
I think.
there are definetly early human league elements, i agree. also a lot of eno, which is always a good thing. apparently its based on a section of the nike track, towards the end. and yes, i love the nike track, and, no i don't jog to it.
when i get new tracks, i'll post them.
Yes!!! Thank you, Mr Nolan - the Human League...phew. I was racking my brain - I knew it was 80s, but if it isn't like Wes King or Nik Kershaw, I'm stumped! ;-)

so i can confirm that dfa crack squad of laywers are very good, as this morning i received my first 'please remove our mp3' email. i supposed i should feel kinda proud, it's a bloggers rite of passage...
further news - this morning i received an email from my archive site telling me to remove the mp3 as they had been informed by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry that i was sharing copyright material. it contained some nice threaten legalise (aimed at them, not me).
now i have no problem with any artist/record company asking me to remove their tracks, as it their property after all. but does adopting the metallica method seem the most intelligent to you? after all the people using these blogs are people who want to share a song (not an album) because they love it and want other people to hear it.
it just seems like such a waste of time to me. going after the sites that share the whole album and make money of it through advertising, thats one thing. threatening the blogger who makes no money from it, doesn't promote the blog and shares the song with his ten mates who visit seems silly. and it wasnt even available for download, you could only stream it.
and another thing, dfa records, if you don't want your records to leak, don't send out promos 3 months in advance.
