I got the new release "Radio Retaliation" last week and have played it a couple of times. Note that it is not on heavy rotation. Hyped as being "political" in message, musically there is nothing new or groundbreaking here. Recommended for fans but I would not recommend it for newcomers to their music as I think some of the earlier releases such as "sounds from the Thievery hi-fi" and "Mirror Conspiracy" are more impressive and my personal favorites compared to some of the later ones.

Bottom line: It's OK, but I was expecting more. I think they are capable of better, but perhaps they've already hit their peak. I haven't really been following the electronica genre for the past couple of years but I get the impression it has declined from where it was a few years ago. Newer recommendations welcome to change my mind.
