Ladytron are an electronic band formed in Liverpool in 1999. The group consists of Helen Marnie (lead vocals, synthesizers), Mira Aroyo (vocals, synthesizers), Daniel Hunt (synthesizers, guitar, vocals) and Reuben Wu (synthesizers).
Their sound blends electropop with new wave and shoegazing elements. Ladytron described their sound as "electronic pop". Some of the group's songs performed by Aroyo contain lyrics written in her native Bulgarian.
Their name was taken from the song "Ladytron" by Roxy Music. According to Brian Eno, once a member of Roxy Music, Ladytron are "the best of English pop music".
Ladytron have released five studio albums so far: 604 (2001), Light & Magic (2002), Witching Hour (2005), Velocifero (2008) and Gravity the Seducer (2011). They also issued the live album Live at London Astoria 16.07.08 in 2009 and the compilation album Best of 00–10 in 2011.
They have produced remixes for many artists, including David Gahan, Goldfrapp, Apoptygma Berzerk, Placebo, Blondie, Gang of Four, Christina Aguilera, Bloc Party, Kings of Convenience, and Indochine.

Concerto is a live album by Roxy Music. All tracks were recorded during the group's "Manifesto Tour" at the Rainbow Music Hall, Denver, Colorado on April 12, 1979, except for Mother of Pearl and Editions of You, which were recorded earlier that month at the Oakland Auditorium, Oakland, California. The album was released in 2001; three years after it was previously released as Concert Classics in 1998 (which doesn't include the final two tracks). It was released again (with the same track listing) under the title Ladytron on August 19, 2002 on Superior Records. Roxy Music had no input to this album as it is not an official Roxy Music release but released under license.

On my Plane to Manila
passengers sit'n row to row
The Flight staff served the curry chicken,
When I heard the Turbin go, "Yeah!"
Out of my window was the sunset,
On the wings a funny glow,
Then my seat started rattling,
Im sure that wasn't part of the show,
So i started to dance,
Without wearing no seatbelts
So i started to dance,
Without wearing no life vest,
I started to dance..
My plane noise went down,
I heard the pilot call `regrets`,
But the people didn't panic,
They all just stared at me,
And they started to dance,
Without wearing no seatbelts,
we all started to dance,
Without wearing no life vest,
We all started to dance,
It was quiet a ride.
So i started to dance,
Without wearing no seatbelts
So i started to dance,
Without wearing no life vest,
