PAUL OAKENFOLD

From the understated beats and deftly-arranged ensemble rapping of the title track to the smokey paranoia of "Five Man Army" and the unrepeatable melancholic splendour of "Unfinished Sympathy"

gossip and stories have nothing to do but buzz round from lip to lip

The rollercoaster highs have been accompanied by some shattering lows

Five years on from the release of Demon Days

LCD Soundsystem spo-notify-me-enabled PAUL OAKENFOLDDebut album from New Jersey's James Murphy, one half of the acclaimed production team DFA largely responsible for putting New York's "punk funk" scene on the map. Murphy's own solo effort crosses the minimalist, psychedelic sounds of 70s greats like Can or Brian Eno with an almost mechanical sense of rhythm, with tight, martial beats aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
