 ... most sense to me, is that the song is referring to the collection of stories by JG Ballard called 'Myths Of The Near Future' which is where the album actually gets it's name. My favourite lyrics from this track are: "A hall of records or numbers, or spaces still undone, ruins or relics, disciples and the young." 8/10 from me. **#7.Gravity's Rainbow** There's one thing that I really love about this song- the bouncy, fast paced style. It's a perfect rave tune and a definate crowd pleaser. As with most of th...more

Crowned Review Myths Of The Near Future - Klaxons: Indie Rave at the End of Gravity's Rainbow (990 words)
by - written on 05/04/07 (Very useful, 588 readings)
Rating:

Of all the music genres out there, I would never have picked myself as a fan of “indie rave”, a term coined by Angular Records founder Joe Daniel, who released the first single by the loud-hailered sounding Klaxons. Variously described as "acid-rave sci-fi punk-funk" to psychedelic pop, Klaxons look to update the rave sound of the 90’s in a modern setting, capturing a whole new audience along the way. What with all that acid house and keyboard-powered schlock hokum, it all seems too much for a man of my tender years. Then again, I hadn’t figured with the “Myths of the Near Future” album. Klaxons are a three-piece made up of Jamie Reynolds (vocals), James ...  Read the complete review

The Klaxons are one of my favourite bands at the moment, bringing something new to the British music scene, with their sound which is deemed as ‘new – rave’. Hailing from the likes of Bournemouth and Stratford upon Avon they are a great new talent and are doing very well for themselves at the moment. I first heard of the Klaxons through friends and from continuous playing of their single ‘Golden Skans’ on Radio 1, I eventually grew to like the song and this prompted me to want to hear more. After hearing their next single ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ I realised I liked their sound and purchased their album ‘Myths Of The Near Future’. This album is not one which I can ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Myths Of The Near Future - Klaxons: You can forget all future plans... (1570 words)

What is new rave? A hybrid of punk rock and electro pop? Sounds exciting enough, but is this really the case? Not quite. Ignore all tags and labels, and take Klaxons for what they are, an exhilarating band open to experimenting with their distinctive sound. This album managed to win last years Mercury music prize. As big a Klaxons fan as I am, I thought that was slightly misguided, but then again, I can't say the Mercury music prize holds any credibility in my book, mainly due to the humongous errors made in previous years, but that's just one woman's opinion. Anyway, Klaxons consists of four lads better known as James Righton (vocals, keyboard), Jamie Reynolds (bass, ...  Read the complete review

**The Band** Klaxons are an English indie/dance/nu rave band. The are definately unique and that's what attracted me to them in the first place, i've never heard anything like them before. In recent years they have become increasingly popular at festivals. The current members of the band are: Jamie Reynolds, James Righton, Simon Taylor-Davis and Steffan Halperin. So far they have only released one studio album: Myths Of The Near Future (2007) **My Favourite Tracks** **#3.Golden Skans** I love everything about this track! It starts off with vocals and then really kicks in, it's brilliant. There are a lot of ideas and ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Myths Of The Near Future - Klaxons: Klaxons debut lives up to the hype (224 words)
by - written on 18/05/08 (Useful, 43 readings)
Rating:

The Klaxons shot to fame via the pages of NME magazine in 2006 at the forefront of the self penned New Rave scene that saw many bands emerge with new DIY sounds in an attempt to stop the endless flow of soundalike bands flooding Britains soundwaves. After months Klaxons finally released this in early 2007 and it was a great success with a spacey sound that set the bar for the year ahead. Every song on the album sounds different from what has come before and although the album contains the singles Atlantis To Interzone, Gravity's Rainbow, Magick and Golden Skans it contains plenty of unheard material on it. The singles are in my view still the highlights of the ...  Read the complete review
