Are we sure International Dateline was released in 2005? I'm a pretty devoted fan and I certainly didn't notice. At present, it's being advertised as a forthcoming, strictly limited edition single, which will be available by pre-order only (and the pre-orders are not yet being accepted). Thus, the 2005 date seems rather premature - do we have a source? Magicalsushi 12:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Also, I just noticed this on eBay (the link will expire at some point). Cracked LCD Live 7" single, b/w USA vs White Noise Live, catalogue number EMN39-7, 1000 copies worldwide. I don't know where that fits in chronologically, or in which territories it was released, but there's a photo of the picture sleeve so clearly it does exist. It ought to be in the list of singles, but I don't know where it should be inserted. Magicalsushi 13:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I can't find the International Dateline or Weekend singles on the official site news or discography pages. Extended Play is a 2 disc EP - North America only. We need to identify "proper" releases from unofficial releases, promos, Japan only etc. Ebay is a particularly unreliable source of information - I think we should take the official site as authoritive to be honest.

Anyone else think it'd be a good idea (in general, not just for Ladytron) to differentiate between the different formats of albums/eps/singles, as they often contain different tracklistings and sometimes completely different versions of songs? Not to mention remixes etc.
- Also, Helen Marnie redirecting to Ladytron seems rather pointless, unless it's done for Daniel and Reuben too.
[edit] Opinionated Section
"Music journalists have lazily (and incorrectly) classified Ladytron as electroclash and, as is supposedly typical for that genre, the group's live performances include live guitars and a drummer along with the electronics. Despite Ladytron's undeserved classification, they are notable for not using sampling on their records or in their shows, instead playing everything live using synthesizers."
I think it's really the author's opinion that music journalists "lazily" clump Ladytron into the electroclash category. Also, to deem this classification incorrect is unreasonable- bands commonly defy easy classification, and any number of opinions on what a band could be filed under could be correct. For example, someone who is unfamiliar with electronic music might call this "techno", as I have heard it termed on at least one occasion.
Finally, the last sentence is kind of silly- electroclash doesn't always sample during live shows, and the "Despite" part seems like the author of this section just read a music review he didn't like. Therefore, I'm going to rewrite it to be more neutral. I hope it sounds better. --72.19.11.66 21:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC) (Forgot my signature the first time around.)
[edit] Background Information, genre
Is it really a good idea to make it say Rock as one of the genres for Ladytron? I don't think Ladytron is rock at all. Electropop is good, if you need to fill it up, perhaps other genres like electronic, electronica, electroclash (subjective), electro, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by M1xmast3r (talk • contribs) 23:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Ladytron and Korg
I changed the part about the synthesizer names. I think it's easier to understand why they name them. My source was this article. Perhaps a more skilled user would add it to the main article's external links? It's fairly interesting stuff about their choice of equipment. Reslo79 05:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
