Details 

• The album title 'Velocifero' translates from Italian as 'bringer of speed' and, in this context, refers to Ladytron's high adrenaline style of music.
  
• Ladytron take their name from a song by Roxy Music, also titled 'Ladytron', which is about a man falling in love with a robot. The single, released in 1972, was an early example of electronic music and featured a mellotron.
  
  
• 'Velocifero' was Ladytron's first album release for Nettwerk Music Group. The Canadian label made headlines in the 2000's for supporting the downloading of mp3 files at potentially zero cost to the consumer. This stance pitted them against powerful organizations such as the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
  
  The 'collapsed copyright' model proposed by Nettwerk would mean artists owned the song as well as the specific recording of it. As such, they could charge what they saw fit for their music and keep the profits for themselves. They could also give it to fans for free. The model would've drastically reduced the role, profitability and power of record labels and was met with fierce opposition.
