what android said. people keep forgetting that this is a club record. not something you want to play in your bedroom or with headphones on. Just imagine yourself in a club and robot rock comes on....i mean c'mon people the pretty much all the tracks are danceable....breakdance that is...if you are into that kind of stuff.

you break the floors chemreaction?

i wish that was me in that pic but not really. i do know some moves here and there ,nothing fancy but i know this guy who can do the moonwalk, spin on his head and other sweet gravity defying moves. 8) he really is made of plastic with no bones.

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...

Anyway, glad you like it android. I didn't manage to do so. The Dafts need people like you to pay the bills. Oh wait -- their pretty ridiculous Gap ad might have helped them in that matter. :?

Ok, WTF, who says Techno has to be repetitive? The chems, unfortunately, are categorized under techno, but they have lovely, very unrepetitive stuff, along with the more pure fun dance songs.



Why does everyone have to have this stereoptype about electronic music? And why does Abercrombie&Fitch, aka. "The popular, beutiful person store" play electronic music all the time, yet have it never become more mainstream? It seems like the only song everyone might know about is Technologic and maybe the rockafellar skank>.> America's messed up.

Exactly. I see a lot of electronic music get lumped into one "repetitive" category all the time. From people I work with to customers and stuff. I don't want to sound like a music snob, but I think that sort of reasoning is because people are unfamiliar with the different types of electronic music out there and they simply don't know any better. To each their own - I am unfamiliar with the difference between dark metal, black metal, nu metal, etc because I simply don't understand it and don't know any better. It's just not my thing.



But on the same token, you have to look at the reasons why electronic music has this reputation of being repetitive and/or monotonous. There's a lot of factors that come into play because everyone hears music differently. It could be the repetitiveness of drum loops, or the standard boom tiss boom tiss boom tiss that's sticking out in people's minds. Or the predictable arpeggios often found in trance music, or even the synth melodies looping over and over and over again over a repeptitive drum loop that goes boom tiss boom tiss boom tiss - you know, stuff that's made it into the mainstream (which it has, think late 90's thru 2001 where you couldn't watch a film without some kind of obligatory club scene in it, buy a soundtrack without electronic music on it, turn on the tv without hearing an electronic song, or watch any program without an electronic song playing in the background, etc) America was inundated with club culture and the music that went along with it, and it all managed to bury itself into the mainstream subconsciousness whether people liked it or not. When electronic music broke in the States it was heralded as the next big thing and went strong for a few years, then tapered off a bit. And its permeance turned people off. I think that's why electronic music has a negative connotation with some people, and why it's stereotyped...

I think most soundtracks seem to have at least one chemical, crystal, prodigy, or fatboy track on it. At least action movies and sometimes comedies and romance/dramas.

It doesn't help that a lot of American experience of "techno" comes while they're watching absolutely mindless (action) movies... that feature, often, absolutely mindless electronic music. Or, a little higher up on the evolutionary chain, a Crystal Method track....

BTW. From when Daft Punk is TECHNO music????????Their music is far from techno. It's more electronic music and in style of house, and house is not a techno. You are just fucked up in atyles terms. Juno Reactor is pure techno and trance. The first works of Prodigy You can add as techno, rave and so on, but not Daft Punk!!!! Man!!!And who say's techno is based on short loops of rhythms????Techno doesn't contains loops of rhythm, techno is just trance beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Like rock music is also based on percusist beat!!!!Please don't faking music styles!!The "loop" is something in the track there is hearing that come from another recording or not, or is hearing that is repeating the same phrase...

And BTW looping music not have too sound bad like Robot Rock wchich is priority shit track for me!!Well take for example High Fidelity or High Life!!!Amazinbg tracks all based on loops rhythms!!!But with soul!!!

if human after all is artistic, then my dick is the mona lisa

Bosco dude, you clearly don't understand the true meaning of the word 'artist'. Artists are the scum of the planet, they have the power to spit on a peice of paper, call it the meaning of life and make millions.

They're pretty good at pulling the wool over ppl's eyes.

So in that sense, HAA is actually very artistic.

Jeepers, must I give you the dictionary meaning of the word 'melody'?

There is melody in every track on HAA, just because it's not highly detailed, doesn't mean it hasn't got melody.

I never said Techno has to be repetitive, I implied that most Techno is repetitive (which it is) I didn't make the rules and I don't like stereotyping just as much as the next person.

I also hate to sound like a musical snob (I think it's too late for that though) but all music is based on repetition, repitition creates rhythm.

equinoxe24 Escribi�:

Uuuummm... Daft Punk have have always made Techno, actually they're renouned for bringing Techno to the masses. Until DP came along, Techno was always dark, minimal & electronic (kinda Carl Cox/ Jeff Mills style) Then Thomas & Guy piped up and asked "who said Techno can't be funky?!" and so they changed the face of Techno by throwing some Funk in there.

So yes, they make a unique brand of Techno. Listen to their remix of the Micronauts 'Get Funky, Get Down' or maybe 'The New Wave' or 'Alive' for that matter. It's pure Techno :D

equinoxe24 Escribi�:

techno is just trance beat

Techno & Trance are too very different genres, they may have similarities

but the one's plain cheesey and the others hard and dark.

but it's supposed to test your patience, that's the whole point. It loops to the point of insanity but changes just in time ;-)

I don't know how it is where you are, or if you're directing this at me equinoxe, but where I am most forms of electronic music (house, dance, trance, hardcore, etc. etc. etc.) are lumped into one general category - techno, or electronica. That's where the conversation was headed, I think you're reading into this wrong and focusing too much on technicalities because really, Daft Punk is shit to you and you aren't going to hear any different. Whereas someone else is going to hear house, techno, whatever. It can't be expected that every single person on the planet knows the difference between house and trance and so on, same as you can't expect everyone to back your claim that "rock music is based on percusist beat." Come on now.



In the States, before the phrase "electronica" came out, pretty much all forms of electronic music were referred to as techno. I'm sure plenty of people here know the difference between certain kinds of electronic music, so you don't need to be so harsh and tell people they are "fucked up" in music terms.



Play nice. You're getting yourself all worked up over technicalities.

Yes but the really genre of techno music is far from daft punk, chjemical brothers and so on. There is apart style called techno music. But today everybody call electronic music as techno. And when i talked about trance, i mean that techno is most similar to trance because those two style are very close. BTW really techno is shitty to me. Don't like it. If i must named the Daft Punk, a call it new funk or house. Yeas it's pure house music. Many peopples call the old works of fatboy slim as hose, but he was recording a Big Beat or breakbeat in the firstly, now he come close to house.

As much as i love the chems..



Daft punk's track around the world was the koolest thing

Also revolution 909 was kool.



Some of the chems stuff is good for when you want upbeat ambient. Where as daft punk is just electronic.



Infact. The chemical brothers rule!!!!!!



Peace out

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.)

Mathew Jonson is a good example of techno music, wchich i like...
