Come on, what the fuck are you talking about?! There's no way Electrelane is electroclash... They were more like Krautrock influenced post-rock, if you ask me...
Well, I own "Axes" and I think it's really a great record, lots of different atmospheres and a great use of piano, I love it. Never listened to their other records though, their last one never interested me that much (the excerpts I heard were really not that great)

I saw them support shellac a few years back and quite enjoyed them. So much so that I bought Power Out. The last date on the tour is near me in Brighton. I had thought about going and I may do so now.

I think I read an interview with them in Wire and they started off in Brighton but now live all over Europe. Probably made weekly band practice a bit of a pain in the arse!!

nick2767, any good at recording or filming shows?:D
