LCD Soundsystem
Biography
LCD Soundsystem is the American producer James Murphy’s musical project. The style of the band includes dance music, elements of punk and disco. LCD Soundsystem were noticed in 2002, when they released their very first single Losing My Edge. Pretty soon that composition became a hit and it was followed by two other singles Give It Up and Yeah, which were good enough to turn popular as well. On February 2005 the band issued the debut double disc album LCD Soundsystem. The first CD was the album proper and the second one contained previously released singles. The opening track Daft Punk Is Playing at My House became one of the most recognizable compositions of LCD Soundsystem, and that song was included into several computer games soundtracks, such as Burnout Revenge, FIFA 06 and others. In 2006 the band received two Grammy Awards: they became the best in nominations Best Electronic/Dance Album with their debut record LCD Soundsystem and in Best Dance Recording with Daft Punk Is Playing at My House.
