Death From Above 1979 split

They were great fun but it'd be boring if they carried on and just did exactly what they did on their album again, plus it would have been irritating if they'd diversified the sound, i.e. made it less immediate, which seemed to me to be the whole point of the band. Fun while it lasted.

I wish more bands would split up, its quite satisfying to do something for a short while then end it before it gets stale.

Just this morning I was lying in my bed thinking "I wonder what DFA1979 are up to, I quite liked a couple of their songs."

Not a huge loss though, and there's always MSTRKRFT are pretty ace-o.

so i'm quite pleased thy're no more.

...stupid name as well..

noooooooooooooo! i agree about the live comments etc, and although mstrkrft are amazing remixers i'm not so sure about their own work. we'll see :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

glad this happened. They made one great album which pretty much said ewverything they could. I'd rather this happen than them make a shite album.

They were so ace. Just listening to the album now as a tribute... bugger. :(

such a dissapointment considering how the album is so incredible; they shall be missed anyhow.
The MSTKRFT remix of Monster Hospital is fantastic though; however this may be because the original is also so good.

I didn't expect this. I never got to see them live, another dream dies. 'You're A Woman, I'm A Machine' was my favourite album of 2005 as well. I hope MSTRKRFT goes from strength to strength.

I liked them a lot.

but they were amazing at leeds last year, especially when sebastien went psycho on a guy right next to me for pulling his neckerchief ( this allowed me to go through s's pockets and steal a backstage pass) - i gave it to my then girlfriend whos mam put it through the wash.
