From what I understand, they have gone on record and stated that they did borrow beats/samples/whatever from various chiptunes artists, and are actually releasing those songs as part of some chiptunes tribute album or something. Something I guess has been lost in the shuffle in the controversy...
Though I myself have yet to see this statement. A friend of mine read it on Pitchfork, which I don't go to.
As far as I can tell, not helping them is their management, who deflected all claims of theft instead of just addressing them in the beginning, which would have saved them a whole lot of trouble.
Anyhow, I wanted to check them out, so I went to their free show in Willamsburg. Was at some shitty club with a bunch of NYU drones till midnight, and they never showed. Instead we got this piece of crap act from Canada that was just horrible, so him plus the annoying crowd was why my friend and I split. They probably came on afterwards, but who cars at this point...

I like them. Not something I'll whip out in 2 years and shed a tear for, but it's good work music.

Amaaaaazing.
The sound is really bad, and the songs aren't that great either, but for some reason their sound is very unique.

The only reason I'm going to look this up for a listen is because of her tits.

its not even close to unique. christ; kitbuilders and adult for just two have been doing that shit for ages as have piles of other cunts. I like it though, but as snuggs says it sort of melts into all the hundreds of influences they mine.
- indeed, they have that pile of cunt feeling/smell...neue75_bold

Yeah totally - I think it's just a re-branded version of Adult, or even Miss Kittin and the Hacker... of course they have Marketing and PR people making it all happen. Otherwise we wouldn't be even talking about them.

They sound great on vinyl.REALLY? Never heard tits on vinyl before? They probably sound interesting - but not like an Atary chip.
- tits on vinyl = DJ pornkelpie
- Maybe her tits are fake - and that's what makes the sound so 'unique'clearThoughts

"Black Panther"
"Courtship Dating"
Are great songs, period.

I love the album... fuck you all...
- I do too. But then I love Kraftwerk and I kind of think of them as a punk version of the Kling Klang boys.JerseyRaindog

I've seen that name somewhere and added it to my mental list of "the best band or album names." Crystal Castles, I don't know, it just has a great ring to it.
At the top of best album names lists is Prodigy's "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned." Too bad the album was a disaster. But I love that album name.
