and louder and lo-fi and heavier produced - just lots of contradictions. I think it's gonna be like the last record but swollen. We've been listening to a lot of European prog music and dubstep and dance and folk. A huge broad variety of things really. There's one track we've been playing in soundcheck, it's this massive prog opus." A cite needs to be added. Also what is a "prog"? This sounds like

For some reason anonymous editors keep changing the article to the past tense - i.e the group are no more. Even though this seems likely to be the case, as yet there has been no announcement of this, only that they have stopped touring. If and when they announce a split (or even if we have some other

I reiterate the concerns on the article's talk page regarding this paragraph, "Klaxons singled out a new song that has strong prog influences as a guide to one possible direction the album may go in, revealed recently NME.

I'm seeing a common prose error identified in this example, "The band added repacement live drummer Steffan Halperin, with the band announcing" "...with the band announcing..." this is a passive voice and isn't good prose for an encyclopedia article. I fixed a previous example in this section under

It does not necessarily mean that the article is not GA quality, or that the issues listed are keeping it from GA

Check the tense in this sentence, I believe you're supposed to be in the past tense according to the context, "the band follow in the footsteps of Miss Kittin, Erol Alkan, Felix Da Housecat and Simian Mobile Disco, who have all made similar contributions. It was officially released on 1 October

This article on Klaxons should have a section dedicated to explaining where they got influences for most of their songs by adding information from other articles like this one: "Atlantis to Interzone" is a song by British indie electro act Klaxons. The song references the mythical lost city of

To be fair I'd say the same thing about the linking to the various countries in the next paragraph. Unless there is an article specific to the band's tour I don't think it adds anything to this article to link to the country.

I was confused by the term "redundant" as in: "work in a record shop, before moving to London after being made redundant". I had to click the link to realize it meant being fired. Is being "fired" or "laid off" a more global

Side note: I also linked to other wiki pages multiple times. Not everyone reads whole articles, myself included. Just because they are linked earlier in an article does not mean someone will see that section, and thus the

I saw that the article is listed for GAN. There's an unsourced quotation in the "Polydor" section that I've tagged as needing a source. Also, the sentence above seems awkward. What doesn "revealed recently NME" mean?

Made redundant here = the record shop went out of business. If you're fired you've done something wrong, which is of course a diferent thing. Is there a US equivalent to this, or should we just say "lost his job"?

According to the author, Crowley's book 'Magick Without Tears' would concern "Wiccan practices"... Since I really don't think that is in any way true, I'd like to ask on which the author bases this claim...?
1141:
I've changed it back. It makes no sense to change "made redundant" to "fired" and leave in the later reference to "redundancy money". Also fired suggests he was to blame, which changes the meaning.
