Author Topic: How is an electronic music performance possibly my favorite album of the year? (Read 1445 times)

I've never been a fan of electronic music (I like Prodigy - Fat of the Land and NIN, that's about it), but I tried earlier this year with that LCD Soundsystem album. Yea, I hated it. But I really never listened to Daft Punk prior to a few days ago. Hell, I didn't even realize "One More Time" was performed by them.

Since then, I've got all their stuff and have been listening to Alive 2007 pretty much non-stop. It is incredible. I want to go to a Daft Punk concert, take some drugs, and just fucking lose it. Recently some dude made a thread on GAF called, "Am I the only person who doesn't like Daft Punk?" and GAF promptly jumped on him. Now I see why.

This version isn't as awesome as my favorite track on the album (it's cut down), but it'll have to do.

daft punk kicks ass... finally you're seeing the light!

I don't like the album versions nearly as much, honestly.

Which is why I just listen to Alive 2007 over and over. It's the ultimate Daft Punk mixtape.

The best album of the year is electronic music: Burial - Untrue

Did I post in the Daft Punk thread? Because if I didn't I should have. Responsible for a horrid album that tortured me in my retail days.

I'm gonna rename this thread

etoilate is probably talking about Discovery, Still Human After All is fun to listen to but totally appaling from a technical standpoint, you can tell the album took less than a week to make

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #9 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:32:18 AM »

That comment was a bit premature on my part. I've barely listened to their albums. I'm going by a few songs, and I don't think any of them were on Homework.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #10 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:32:52 AM »

name the songs, I can tell you what album they are off

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:33:46 AM »

I could just look at my iTunes.

They weren't.

Sorry I deprived you of showing off your Daft Punk knowledge.

Daft Punk was cool. Ten years ago. Now they are for homosexuals. You are a homosexual.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:41:00 AM »

Cajole, the album was Homework.

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2007, 02:55:49 AM »

I like Homework and like 3 songs on Discovery and the rest is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Robo · « **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2007, 03:33:34 AM »

Most of the best Daft Punk songs have been heavily commercialized or overplayed for me to a point of nausea, unfortunately. At this point, I can only listen to Homework occasionally (skipping over Around the World

) and a small selection of tracks from Discovery (err what tvc said). Human After All is shit other than maybe Robot Rock. Still, I would have killed to see Alive 2007.

Vizzys · « **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2007, 04:41:02 AM »

I liked discovery but I thought human after all was mostly trash

go me

agreed about Human After All,
but in the context of Alive (i have been learninated that Vergoose = Alive), the tracks make perfect sense.

I wanted to go see them in Brooklyn this past summer but tickets were like $200 a pop

FACT: Revolution 909 is still their best song

Bloodwake · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:38:05 AM »

wow, there's a new Daft Punk album?

Shit. Need to download that.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #24 on:** December 05, 2007, 01:54:34 PM »

Hit up the bay

I think Daft Punk are hella overrated but this live lp is kinda cool.

If you want impressive use of synths, look no further:
