New LCD Soundsystem - "Big Ideas" (Stereogum Premiere)
That long instrumental intro seems to suggest a chase scene. Or maybe a really bad-ass game of blackjack. Regardless, it rocks, finding LCD in the continual top dance-funk form they located on Sound Of Silver. 21's premiering at SXSW on 3/7, with a party celebrating the release of soundtrack set for 3/13. Here's the tracklist:
01 The Rolling Stones (Soulwax Remix) - "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
02 MGMT - "Time To Pretend"
03 LCD Soundsystem - "Big Ideas"
04 D. Sardy featuring Liela Moss - "Giant"
05 Amon Tobin - "Always"
06 Peter Bjorn and John - "Young Folks"
07 Junkie XL featuring Electrocute - "Mad Pursuit"

I see the long intro as a slow-motion entry of the math nerds into the casino, Kate Bosworth giving come-hither glances at the camera, whatever harmless male-lead is out front looking confident, giving suave winks to the cocktail waitresses along the way, the entire casino slowly noticing this unstoppable crew.
And when the big voices come in we see our heroes sitting down to the blackjack table! They place their bets, tensions run high, the dealer starts to sweat, LCD pulses in the background while the audience is quivering in anticipation of the next card thrown down on the table. What's this? Our hero is saying hit me at 18? Insanity! Those big ideas have got him again!
But wait! My lord! The card, it's a 3! As the chorus of the song and the excellent guitar lick jumps in, the casino erupts in shock and awe! The dealer, flabbergasted, hangs his head in disgrace while our hero rises triumphantly, Kate Bosworth drooling uncontrollably on his arm, and math nerds now rule the world! LCD Soundsysem is their battle cry! Huzzah!
Or probably the song will be the third one played while the credits roll. I hope the ushers cleaning the theater get a kick out of it.

Since one of his songs is on the soundtrack, this is probably a good time to mention that Amon Tobin rules. If you've never had the pleasure, check out his myspace page or something. Amon Tobin is simply the best electronic recording artist.

"Does LCD remind you of the E-fueled rave music scene of the 90's?"
Errr, No. It reminds me of late 70s new wave, in particular Talking Heads.
