I love Homework and Alive '97. And I really like Insterstella 5555. I cn't say about the new stuff. I only could download some crappy files. I'll just wait for the album to be released.

The album sounds like a bunch of demo songs randomly put together.
Agreed. I was looking forward to it until I heard the album. *sigh*

I wish I had a chance to listen to the album yet. I'm both excited and scared reading what people say about it. It is said they only made it in six weeks, so I'm afraid of "amateurism" too. but hey, I'll wait and see (well, hear...)
Actually I have mixed feelings about this band. I mean they are good, and it is nice to have frenchies on the electronic scene, but, when you compare any "french touch" thingie to the power and sense of structure of the chems, it puts things in perspective. I mean, come on, those guys have been around since 1996 and it is only their third album. hey, Thomas and Guy-Man, GET TO WORK!!!
(I'm being bad mouthed here. they've done a lot of obscure things on Roul�, Scratch� and Crydamoure labels. anyone here know "tracks on the rocks", by Thomas Bangalter? it is from 1998. really good stuff. not the electonic simplicity of Homework, yet not the "we love the eighties" sample fiesta of Discovery.)

If Daft Punk is the only French band you've listened to I understand you say things like that.
Etienne de Crecy for example, or Dimitri From Paris. These producers could be a worhy 'opponent' to the Chems any time.
Daft Punk isn't the best thing French house music has to offer.

I don't know, I never really got into Etienne de Crecy. Basically, here's the timeline of electronic music:
Daft Punk (first)
Motorbass
Etienne de Crecy
Alex Gopher
Chemical Brothers/Crystal Method (last)
I really don't see how you can say that about Etienne, maybe I just don't get his music or my tastes hadn't evolved then ( I really havn't listened to the three cds of his since I started with the Chem's; I heart the Chem's)

It is not. I k,ow my french producers, man, I'm french myself.
Yes we have a lot a good things going around (Cassius, Saint Germain, rhinocerose), and I did not mean it is not good, just that is is IMO not as innovative as the chems are ,especially as far as *structure* goes : The chems really manage to build anticipation, create a tension/release dynamic and have little subtle aural details everywhere, and this I have yet to find in a classic (french or not) house record (which, most of the time, is quite simple as far as song arrangmeent is concerend...)
I didn't mean I don't like french electronica. "Welcome onboard" (last Dimitri from Paris album) is a masterpiece.
