Also on the bill for the one day fest in Wickow's Luggala estate are Soulwax, The Jimmy Cake, Boxcutter, Comtron, Dark Room Notes.

The ad's headline reads Kraftwerk + Guests, so it's unclear as to whether there are more to come on the bill, but thusfar it's pretty damned good...

6 uears after their last full album 'Dublin gone, Everybody dead', The Jimmy Cake finally return after numerous line-up changes.

Pros:

• The Jimmy Cake are awesome. I've always thought so and I always will.
• The Jimmy Cake live are an awesome proposition.
• The epic scope of this album is a pay off to what they've been buildling up to for years.
• The addition of Who-like Synths on tracks like 'Hugs for Buddy' add a new flavour.

Cons:

• The chaotic mish-mash of instruments that normally infuse their tracks isn't as much in evidence on this album as it was on the last which could piss off a few people who loved them for that very reason.
• At first few listens it doesn't appear to be as amazing as 'Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead'.
• Thats pretty much it for the cons.
  

The albums excellent and anybody who doubts me can listen to 'Hugs for Buddy' below to see what I mean. Get to see The Jimmy Cake live as soon as you can as well.
