It's sad to say that This Is Happening will be James Murphy a.k.a. LCD Soundsyem's last album. It’s the conclusion to a virtually faultless career as an improbable frontman — a career that he never expected to have. By the end of the 90s, he had failed first as a singer and then as a drummer, eventually giving up bands to work as a sound engineer at concerts and build his own studio in New York. But in 2001 he established DFA Records with former UNKLE member Tim Goldsworthy and brokered a new agreement between indie and dance music via production for the Rapture and Radio 4, and remixes for the likes of Goldfrapp, Le Tigre and Gorillaz. Well personaly I love LCD, I have the first self titled record on vinyl & i'm a huge fan of DFA Records. Three albums down the line S/T, Sound Of Silver & This Is Happening i bid farewell to LCD.
