They are releasing a whole movie soon. From what I saw it looks cheesy : they are playing little scenes with their robot helmets on... I really regret the "da funk" period I must say. From the time they did all those anime videos coupled with teenagers tunes I lost interest in them... Are you still liking them ? |
||||||||

I only got their first album and some motherfucker stole it in a party |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Their last gig in coachella was AWESOME man. I know their last album was crap but I can imagine them releasing some good stuff soon or later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like "robot rock" (is this the name??) track, but the whole album is crap, not mentioning the cover of course. Yeah live shows are cool, but if you dont have decent albums behind... |
||||||||
|

i listened to the first album the other day again. after like 5 years at least. i have no idea why i thought it was good. |

I listened to it the other day and played some tracks at a party and I realized that it was still awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aww come on, there are some good tracks on that. Revolution 909... Rollin' n Scratchin', Burnin', Indo Silver Club... these are still nice... even Phoenix... and Da Funk is pretty darn good for a radio single... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its amazing but everytime I think about them, I almost cry a tear thinking about "da funk" Think it's what brang me to electro at the time. The video is almost as great as is windowlicker (I said almost folks) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
saw them live in 97. great show |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice is less than good though :) yeah, couple of tracks are nice. but i had a feeling all these years that it was a much better album than it really is. i was disappointed, must be honest about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the first two albums okay. some songs more than others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unless you see their dead bodies - you can't say they're dead, silly. their name is established as one of the best elektronic acts ever. i respect them. |
||||||||

homework is classic. wicked fresh, raw house. discovery was cool and funky, but dated badly. still fun though. human after all was just lazy and slap dash. i think they are on heroins now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is certainly a fair amount of repetitiveness, and a lot of duds. but i mean in general dance music is hardly an "album" genre anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
daft punk is still OK in my books |
||||||||
|

Discovery sounds dated? It was ahead of its time with this whole 70s / space disco / italo revival thing. I didn't like it first, thought it was to poppy and cheesy. Then I realised how awesome it was and it still sounds fresh to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unfortunately, you can't give them any credit at all (or barely) for robot rock; they sampled an already existing loop (from release the beast by breakwater), looped it all the track long and added the "rock. ro-bot-rock." robotic voice - barely anything more to it. the original loop wasn't even modified! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still like it, and the video too. but then I also like bob sinclar "love generation" video, so I guess I'm out am I ? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was ahead of its time with this whole 70s / space disco / italo revival thing. An ahead of its time revival? Wicked. Regardless, I think Discovery is an awesome album and a lot better than Homework, which doesn't do it for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i tried the search and didn't come up with much... i've been half-trying to hear more Italo stuff for a while... anyone wanna recommend some mixes or s'thing? |
||||||||
|

Like "Spacer Woman" by Charlie, my all time fave? There was a comp recently, , is that what we're on about? |
||||||||
|
|

looks like it |

a few Felix remixes plus some quite good other dance gems. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't believe the track Make Love off the latest album doesn't get the credit it deserves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Discovery is just so wicked. What a lot of people didn't understand was that they weren't joking, they really wanted to make a open-hearted accessible album. And I wouldn't say it was purely retro, it just took influences like cheesy 80's AOR and italo house and totally updated them. I remember meeting a girlfriend through dancing to "Digital Love" at an indie night in '02. She turned out to be a bitch, but I still love that song. |
||||||||

|
still sounds like crap. Oh and watch the videos too. What a lot of fun ! I still think Naruto is better (and I hate jap'anime) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The whole record is so full of joy and imagination. I think it's great they can make something so poppy. I think the influences on that album are cool. I think a lot of "dark" and "hard" dance music is cheesy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so do I, then Im listening to donkey rhubarb and Im feeling better :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To be honest, I think Discovery is their best album. Loads of people think it's crap, but I love it. |
||||||||

they had to die after homework but they survived till now |

since coachella, ive been on the biggest daft punk tip ever! i seriously cannot get enough of them, and their live show proves they are far from dead. long live the two greatest robots ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did they play something not called house for kids? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
human after all wasnt all that good. the title track and Robot Rock dont really go anywhere - pretty much just a single loop. the first four tracks on discovery are my top Daft Punk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
daft punk is as idm as it gets and that's a good thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theyre french, right? have they ever written a song with french lyrics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm with the discovery folks. Also, lots of nice memories from when that album came out. |
||||||||
|
|

k so heres my take on the boys (yes, they are french, as with everything else awesome like air, michel gondry and baguettes) read up on them and youll find out that they started off as a shitty guitar rock band, but then bought a bunch of drum machines and cranked out the genious that is homework. realizing that homework is just some guitar guys on e fooling with synths makes the album make that much more sense. tracks like revolution 909 and rollin and scratchin were just made for mdma, they hardly make sense without it :P then they got big with da funk and around the world, and record compainies latched on as fast as they could. hence: discovery, the same etarded guitar boys making a genious pop album. watch the accompanying anime interstella 5555 and you basically get the idea: they made their huge hit with one more time, and just blew out of proportion and almost became too big for their britches that people started forgetting who it was behind the music. human after all seems like a logical progression of sorts: completely devoid of cheesey, sprinkly poppiness of discovery, and littered with guitars, the duos first love of course. human after all is daft punk saying 'fuck you' to the record companies and just making the album that they wanted to make. sure, its repetetive, but since when arent any of their other tracks?! and btw, i found a video file of nearly all of the daft punk coachella set, but its 850 mb for some reason (even though the quality its not so hot, but certainly still watchable) so i havent put it anywhere for download. see? i told you guys i had gotten into them a bit too much. oh yeah, and homework is still my fave. dirty gritty dancey and full of imagination. |
||||||||
|
|

Yeah, Musique their first single. If I remember correctly it goes: Musique, Muuuusique. Musique, Muuuusique. Musique, Muuuusique. Musique, Muuuusique. Maybe DP got commisioned to do a µ-Ziq advert? Human After All was a bit shit yes, but i've got into it. it's an album of good ideas, but DP don't want to take them anywhere. Their masks are fucked. I still want Coachella mp3s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, musique is the b-side to da funk, which was their first single. and if theres anyone out there who can rip the audio from avi's and clean it up a bit, im sure we can get some mp3s going round. |

Daft punk is NOT dead. |

Never seen two dead people rock this good before. |

i finally watched interstella 5555 last night. how fucking quality is that film.... since, i can't stop listening to discovery, and feel kinda stupid for my earlier comments saying it was dated. hmph. |
