I've never quite understood why some people drool and dribble so much about Homework, especially the track Around The World.



Just what is so great about someone saying "around the world" on a vocoder over and over again? I find this very unremarkable song to be average at best.

that's the very reason it is good aswell. Simple and funky.

I liked Scratchin and Rollin - a bit on the minimal side, tweaky and solid.

There are more tracks on the album than 'Around The World'. Maybe you should give 'em a spin too.



Btw, the album track 'Alive' was originally a B-Side on their first 12" The New Wave. And this song ('the new wave') is techno in it's purest form.

We don't give a fuck about the vocoder part... The great part of the song is its crazy bassline :?

From my limited personal experience, and not that of some speculating press that likly doesn't know shit about it, synths and sequencers are not that hard to set up and operate once you have the voices and notes in. Really I cannot think of any reason to why that would not be them, I mean I think that they're trying to put on a themed show with the suit and the pyramid together... next it will be speculation that Gorillaz isn't the cartoon characters playing the music.



We cannot believe everything we read. When Setting Sun came out, Tom and Ed couldn't go out in public because the press was blaming them for Noel & Liam being on their period again.



Although I haven't ever really liked daft punk too much, and every time I hear one more time I get a sickening feeling equivalent to being flicked in the balls, they've done some pretty good stuff and after hearing that Coachella show I was pleased. Doing live acts should be the most important thing they or any artist does and unless I missed something, I don't get why they'd be having other people do their live acts... Unless they're such sell outs that they book 2 or 3 gigs on the same night

I can say I was drooling over 'Musique' when I first heard it but in the case of 'around the world''........yah it didn't do it for me.......

Since 'Musique' there has only been a few Daft songs that I find close to monumental. Mainly only 'Robot Rock (maximum overdrive)' and that was more due to Evil Nine just destroying the place with that song last year at fuji rock
