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)

[edit] Roxy
Are they named after the song by Roxy Music? If so, the article should say that. --81.105.245.251 01:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Members of band?
Who are the members of the band and how come NONE of them are mentioned on the main page of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.216.199 (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Full band touring vs. DJ touring
It would be helpful to include a description of their two different styles of touring. I have noticed on their website and in local live music listings that they tour in two different ways: full band and "DJ". Personally I am more inclined to see a band than a DJ, so I've only been to a full band show. I am curious about the DJ performance, and that is why I looked them up on Wikipedia today. Plus, as far as I know this is a peculiar touring style exclusive to Ladytron so it should at least be mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.90.220.172 (talk) 22:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- The article currently states that "Ladytron tours extensively around the world", but during a recent show in Edmonton, on May 20, 2008, the band announced that it was the first time they had performed any of their songs in North America. It's possible that they were actually referring only to songs from their new album. I'm new to the fandom so I can't verify one way or the other. Can anyone confirm that Ladytron has played a show in North America before May 20, 2008. If that was actually their first show, it should be noted in the article.
