Despite the humidity, dust, dryness, heat, parched lips, skin burns, hair frizz/damage & sweat - summer is a mighty fine season for it brings the freshest releases & makes once again listening to albums from summers gone by possible again!
Not many records have survived the entire plays overtime on this side of the screen except for CICADA – turns out the more you play it the better it gets. Ever since I purchased their debut in summer 2006 (only because I thought the cover was nice), there has never been another summer without it playing loudly from my room. This band seriously makes some of the best pop sounding progressive electro house on the planet & throughout their career each and every remix they put out for people like Depeche Mode, New Order, Editors & Lorraine made it into my top remixes lists at its time.
I have immense admiration and respect to their work, because it fixes my mood in ways only legends like Air could do.
There haven’t been any new materials by them until recently when they announced they’re working on their second full length & released ‘Same Old Scene’ – Yep it’s a Roxy Music cover & they did a mighty fine job with it!
DL: Cicada - Same Old Scene
You can purchase it from Beatport with remixes by Klaus Hill, Henrik B., & Cicada themselves.
If you don’t know them or didn’t know they had an album – then I seriously recommend you to go and buy it (even if from a used records store). You’ll be thanking me for making your lazy summer lounging experience a million times better.
Lush Lush Lush.. All i can say.

So true! Their music is awesome. I love almost every song of their album (I have the 2 CD version, I'm not that sure about some of the remixes on CD 2).
They were with me last summer here, then the summer in Australia and now I sometimes listen to them in the European summer.
