Arriving at the tail end of the dance-punk era, LCD Soundsystem took a lot of time releasing a full-length debut album. It turned out to be worth the wait, delivering on the potential of the classic early singles (collected here on a second disc) that appeared during the three previous years. All the music history that bandleader James Murphy referenced in the hipster putdown disco of “Losing My Edge” — Krautrock, early hip-hop, house, dub — is synthesized into essential songs like “Too Much Love” and “Disco Infiltrator.” This was also one of the best-produced albums of the rock era with perfectly compressed drums and buzzing analog synths approximating what a collaboration between Suicide and early-’80s Prince might sound like.
