'The Warning' was, if not quite a stunner, a bit of a hottie. This quite simply is not. Why include three soul ballads if none of them is a patch on 'Look After Me' from the last release? These deathly dull tracks in particular bring the album crashing down. Other songs come across as in jokes and failed experiments - I'm looking at you 'Wrestlers' and 'Bendable Posable'. The first three songs do show signs of life, 'Ready for the Floor' is a great single (partly due to the fantastic video) and there are other flashes of near brilliance in the intro to 'One Pure Thought' and the genuinely amusing spoken word section of 'Bendable Posable' - but at this stage of the game more is expected.

2.The Warning by: Hot Chip May 22, 2006

Genre-bending Hot Chip have not only released some of the singles of the year but one of its best albums. As with Gorillaz and Gnarls Barkley recently, mid-way into the `noughties' we are starting to see some real wit and invention in pop music that may come to define the decade. `The Warning' finds them putting heart and soul into their curious mish-mash of folk whimsy, house and electronica. For all the sonics and low-fi trickery, and the comedy lyrics, there is beauty and genuinity shining throughout. Their songs are unconventionally tangential, with phases and subtexts, but pulled off with a playful insouciance that belies some of the technical brilliance. After the abrasive aural assault of the opener `Careful' is the brilliant ... Read More:

3 and a bit stars as an album, with one 5 star song... Yes, definitely an album for 'particular' tastes; never going to be 'mainstream' with a collection of songs like this. Commendable for their 'experimentalism' with song structuring and instrumental/electronic arrangements. However, I'm principally writing this blurb to tell one and all about the song called 'Baby Said' - it is an absolute golden nugget of a song tucked away near the end of this album...simple yet sublime...check it out. Personally I find the vocals unique and engaging - the lead singer is an artist whose voice doesn't sound like a dozen others'...always refreshing... And yes, as one reviewer said, t'was worth keeping an eye on ... Read More:

4.DJ Kicks - Hot Chip: Mixed By Hot Chip by: Hot Chip May 28, 2007

This one starts quite well, but soon meanders off and becomes fairly forgettable. The first track, Night Moves, brings you in nice and slow, then POW! Positive K with I Got A Man gets your hips and shoulders working. After that some enjoyable electronic noodling, which then lasts the rest of the album. It gets to the point I can't tell one tune from the next. Aside from the first 3 or 4 tracks, there doesn't feel like there is any direction in this mix, any energy, any variety. Don't get me wrong, there is track after track of great, great tunes, but considering how good Hot Chip are at creating fun, energetic and enjoyable music, this album is surprisingly flat.

8.Aerodynamik + La Forme (Remixed By Hot Chip) by: Kraftwerk, Hot Chip September 17, 2007

Luminous green cd case aside (unfortunately a sign of marketing desperation)the long reinterpretation of "La Forme" is the highlight here. This may simply be due to fact "Aero" was released around 3 yrs ago in a plethora of 'dance' remixes anyway, and although the Hot Chip version is far more ambient/melodic (ie lots of dropouts/breaks) than these it still seems odd to release the track yet again. "La Forme" however was a minimilist track originally, almost like a long interlude, and the extra production here takes it to epic proportions. In this case I feel they've done an excellent job, even with the introduction of beats. For completists this is a must, for fans of dance music, probably besy avoid, or at least be wary. For those of us who want another new Kraftwerk ... Read More:

9.Ready for the Floor by: Hot Chip January 28, 2008

Barcode: 5099951716622 One thing has to be said for Hot Chip, they've got a knack for coming up with little electro-pop tunes that are as catchy as they are innovative. After 2006's 'Over And Over' this edges even further down the straight synth-pop route and it's wider appeal was clearly evident in the way the song effortlessly slid into the charts at an impressive number 6. But i still don't know where i stand with the band. Elements of them can be quite annoying, one being the singer's voice - it comes out as little more than a whimper and while this doesn't matter as much in the world of electronica/dance, so for all of Ready For The Floor's charm, it limits the ultimate appeal of the song. The Soulwax Dub that appears on here ... Read More:

10.Boy from School by: Hot Chip May 08, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.48
Great single, a chilled out sound for the summer I feel. The b-sides are fine as well - one sweet little ditty and your avergae 'more dancy' extended remix. Love the video also - fond memories of 'Art Attack'.
