They've been making consistently great music for over 20 years now, yet most of the US thinks they quit the biz in 1990.

Which only illustrates the stupidity of the general record-buying public. They're the third- or fourth-bestselling dance act ever in the USA. In the UK, they're one of the top acts in terms of top twenty hits (e.g. they've had more top twenty hits than the Beatles).
The new album has been out for a month or more in the UK and I agree it's superb. I think it takes a couple of listens to appreciate its strengths, but it does eventually grab you and it's their strongest album for a good many years. Incidentally, I don't know if the tracks are available outside the UK, but itunes in the UK was offering downloads of a couple of demo versions of the songs on the album.
