Sorry to fuel the Daft Punk haters in the world, but after hearing "Breakwater - Release The Beast", I've gotta say I've lost a whole ton of respect for them. It's the most shameful piece of plagurism ever, it's even worse than Eric Prydz (sp).



Daft Punk have done some good stuff, but when you hear sampling like that it just makes you ashamed to admit you like dance music.

is the sample used in Robot Rock, right ?

Yeah it�s kinda sad after you lisen it altough, i still like robot rock

well you should listen to the samples they used for 3/4 Discovery tracks.... You will lose all respect from them. Homework is their best album, the most creative one.

yeah its clear that there not just playing from a recording.

hmm.. what makes that so clear..? :?

I mean there not just playing the cd. If you listen to alive 97 it sounds very different from cd album.

Wow, another thread for the greatest electronic act in the world!!



This place is awesome!

suck a cock

I've never seen Daft Punk live but I think the Chems are better simply because they've actually played live a decent number of times in the last few years!! I can't help thinking DP are only playing because the record company have told them to get up off their arses and sell some more albums!!



Still, if they do a non-festival date in the UK sometime I'm definately there...

Hey, you made it back safe! 8)

They probably spent the past 5 years trying to figure out how to play in those suits X-D

Daft Punk's Electroma



Announced last week, but with more information filtering through each day is news is new of Daft Punk's first full length feature film entitled ‘Electroma’, which will debut at the Cannes Film Festival sidebar.



Directed by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter the film is a psychedelic musical and visual odyssey based around the premise of two robots and their quest to become human. It is the reclusive duo’s directorial debut, but not their first appearance at the prestigious film festival after the pair collaborated in 2003 with Japanese director Leiji Matsumoto on the animated film ‘Interstella 5555’.



For what 'Electroma' lacks in dialogue it is expected to make up for in an engrossing Soundtrack and impressive visuals. It will makes it debut in the Sidebar at The Cannes Film Festival sidebar Directors’ Fortnight, which kicks off on May 18.

Daft Punk has always been the very definition of French House, if you want to get all sub-genre-y on me...



(And trance doesn't have to be cheesy any more than [proper] techno be dark and robotic. Paul Van Dyk is an example of a trance artist/DJ who I would not call cheesy [Watch me get flamed. :D ]. Listen to Funk D'Void's 'Emotional Content' for an example of emotive techno.



And trance is generally considered, AFAIK, to have "evolved" from techno through the introduction first of drawn-out dreamy pads and, later, of prominent [and even dominant] melodic arpeggiated synth lines and predictable, colossal breakdowns.)

ooh man, u'r quite bang on.

this thread is pretty interesting, one of the few left on this forum. most are just fun, i think the last great thread was whirly's when Push The Button was released. I want my share of fun, but i want some downright musical and educative discussions as well dammit! Damn, i used to tell my friends, who're not on this forum, i know one forum where everyone is fuckin cool, noone fights because of musical indiffernces, noone questions u'r lineages and sexual preferences because of what u listen to, ah, i'm kinda weary of calling my favourite forum the same it used to be, anymore.



but this thread has some very interesting discussion going on, i guess i missed it, it's over.



but i agree with punk lovers here, all of em. the punk and the chems are different universes, the chems are WAY bigger musically, and as far as my soul goes, but the punk give me some really fun moments, which is good. they'r a pretty brilliant act. even human after all, nothing wrong with it. don't compare it to the chems, just hear it for what it is. it's pretty brilliant i'd say, which means, i'll play it now just cause i talked so much bout it and it been ages.

it sure takes a lot of time to love it, the first time i heard it, i just let go and said fuck it, another fav act lost to the oblivion, but no way, no fuckin way yet!



u said they've got another disc being manufactured?? do elaborate.

Android, if You hear any melodic in Robot Rock than You are really god! X-D Beside take any track from Discovery for example Superheroes (wchich is based hardly on the loops only) and compare this to Robot Rock. If You don't hear any differences that you're mad...

ok, i am not gettin into an arguement, but WHAT do u call that guitar melody (oops), thruout? it's a riff, but a melody.

hehe, nevermind star, so what if it's repetitive? so what? nevermind, don't see u gettin the pt of their music.

The thing is, if "human after all" was created by some indie dance group, it would probably get a pretty warm welcome. But, since it was made by Daft Punk, many are dissapointed with them and the ablum. Which is only fair, cause they're capable of sooooo much more.



And then, how they flaunted the fact that they completed the album in 6 months, was a really bad idea.

i totally agree.

but that's how i treat all my fav bands, it's tough but it's possible. not the first listen definitely, but after a while, if it fails, i try and simmer down my expectations and listen to it as a new piece of music, if it's really good, it fuckin works!

even with the chems, it's SO hard to like a new album the first listen everytime they release one, but then after one listen i gotta tell myself, hang on, hear it as a new experience, forget who they are, what they've done for me in the past, and fuck, they always hit the fuckin spot right at the pt i try that, sincerely enough.

we are, we are, we are, we are, we are,

No, it's called lying to yourself. You so desperately want it to be good, you repeat to yourself over and over that it's good, and after a while, you don't know any better. You're indoctrinating yourself.



When you've grown up there will be a day when you think: damn, what was I thinking! This fucking sucks!

I kind off agree with you there , Slipvin.

I also try to give an album another listen if i don't like it as first. But if i don't like it , i don't like it.



It's SO hard to like a new album at the first listen...? I remember the first time i heard come with us , or dyoh , or surrender. From the first listen i was in LOVE with it.



Ptb had to grow on me. I didn't dislike it at all , i liked it , but not what i had with the above albums. After a few listens i did like it A LOT. But with every album it's so hard to like it at first...?That's the whole thing about finding new music , innit. You hear something and you go like "wow!"



Ive never heard HAA so i'm not talking about that!

Spot on.

Ah, but these "growing up" things just keep happening over and over again, so shouldn't we just accept that everything we are currently listening is something that we are going to hate in the future?

Or to put it in a better way:
