Ooh this song is awesome. I don't hear any USE-ness really.

(um guys, I was being facetious)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

yes but your joke made us THINK!

think awful things.

what the...

Is that an mpg from a club or something? i am so not understanding...

― piscesboy, Monday, 17 January 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh it's from a club where someone had a promo i guess. it's a little frustrating (that it doesn't do more) but still infectious (in what it does do, and clearly works best LOUD).

Good call! Any idea what the source sample is?

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

May as well be Ulysses 31 - GOOD THING. Sorta Ulysses/Cornelius - 'Drop' + 'Another View Point'/Discovery. That shit is absolutely fantastic and hearing that makes me actually anticipate my b-day.

I'm in an immense pickle over whether to totally save it until it comes out (probably more satisfying in the long run), or cling onto every new little bit of whatever that's leaked (bit of instant grat)!

what's 'U.S.E.'

― nick.K (nick.K), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"united states of electronica"

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

oooh. it sounds (maybe it's the mic and the crowd noise) like it should be the imagined futuristic dance music from the club scene in "Space Mutiny" starring John Phillip Law and, uh, Reb Brown. yes!

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

is that really them?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I am going to listen again, cos on first listen that sounded fairly boring.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

and I really really have faith for this album as being the one that keeps the youth part of me which liked album-dance alive.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

it sounds like Daft Punk doing a cover version of Rage Against The Machine. fucking shit!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

this is tragic, I am trying so hard to like it

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe it's not them! don't panic yet!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope it's not them! But it sounds like them enough to be them!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

GUITARS.. OMG!

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, did the total guitar-cum-synth wank solos on "Aerodynamic" and "Digital Love" just pass over you? Or are you just not into rhythm guitar stabs?

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

thousands of dance records have guitars in them. there is nothing to this except the guitar, it actually does sound like WWF intro music.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

And the problem here is....?

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(i really like the track, and want to acquire this.. whether it's Daft Punk or not.)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I am willing to wait to hear a proper version cos I would expect the drums to be a bit more interesting in that.

This sounds like something off that fucking Prodigy album. The only saving grace is a distant reminder and faraway scent of Daft Punk on the breeze.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

And the problem here is...?

THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE TRUE GUITARIST OF OUR TIME ON THIS ALBUM

http://www.marcweb.de/yngwie.jpg

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, the track is supposedly called "Robot Rock".

I'm just mystified by the horror here, that's all. (haha, "Rage Against The Machine" cover? anything with lots of guitar = RATM I guess.)

And yeah, those two Discovery singles sounded like they had emulated Yngwie solos, totally!

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Donut this is stupid, I just told you the guitars thing is not a problem, not least cos as I said there are guitars on loads of dance tracks.

And I have heard Rage Against The Machine, many songs, like most young people probably have. The tempo and the way the guitar is looped over an almost hiphop beat sounds so like RATM! I was rooting around my brain for "what does this sound like" and I first thought "WWF music" then "Rage Against The Machine".

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

also, clearly you know I do like "Aerodynamic" and "Digital Love", so am I supposed to be pretending not to like this even though in actual scientific fact it is as good?

It's a fucking loop! It's only barely electronic in the dance sense, it's got no pop sensibility and it's too calm to be techno.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

and as I said, it actually mentally fucking hurts me to have to write this and I keep thinking "oh let me just listen again", but this track is shit! I think alot of ILMers will agree too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the "WWF Music" = "RATM" thing I disagree with.. RATM without the vocals would sound like a gazillion other rock bands. I was confused by your comparison because I was like "there's not shouting about Communist guerilla groups getting the power back here", which to me defines RATM far more than their guitar sound. Also, this is too choppy for RATM, even sans vocals. Usually there's a continuity to RATM's rock, where this just stabs a lot.. more like Prodigy, granted. I was mainly questioning the RATM mention, mainly.

You guys do know that the new Daft Punk features two songs with Dennis DeYoung on vocals, right?

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a fucking loop! It's only barely electronic in the dance sense, it's got no pop sensibility and it's too calm to be techno.

Except for the 'too calm' part, that describes a good chunk of Homework and many songs after the first four on Discovery, like "Crescendolls" and others. Are you a fan of Daft Punk albums, or just the singles, then?

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I heard the album the other day at the record company. That is definitely the real Robot Rock.
As for the rest of the album think very basic production and drum programming, lots of Tone Loc-guitars, lots of monotony and lots of vocoders. Theoretically it is great: when the whole world is on this Daft Punk revival trip with stuff like "Drop The Pressure", "Call On Me" and "Yeah" they make their least "pop", least accessible, least "disco" record yet (although one of those rock guitars is similar to Donna Summers "Hot Stuff"). And theory is what really matters, riiiight?
Last track "Emotion" is pretty, you could sing Maria McKees "Show Me Heaven" to it.

― Essdot, Monday, 17 January 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

So, Daft Punk are now the 200X edition of Two Men, A Drum Machine, And A Trumpet!!

"I'm tired of gettin' pushed around..... *GUITAR STAB*"

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I love both albums, but that description does not in my opinion describe anything on Discovery, and not much on Homework either cos of the "too calm" part.

Discovery is pop through and through. This is middlebrow Prodigy style bad dance/hiphop.

And this is the single, jesus this is the band who did "One More Time", "Digital Love", Bangalter did "Music Sounds Better With You". There is NO EMOTIONAL CONTENT WHATSOEVER in Robot Rock and no physical connection either.

I just feel bad, cos I am sure 90 percent of the Discovery fans are gonna be gutted when they hear this track, I really hope the album is better.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Ess is some of it actually far out or weird?

Cos to me "Robot Rock" is extremely accessible, just boring.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Brilliant! I wonder if Simon Harris, Pascal Gabriel, Ivan Ivan, Shep Pettibone or Age Of Chance are going to be around to do remixes for the singles.

well, i wouldn't expect anything "EMOTIONAL" from a song called "Robot Rock" necessarily, but no physical connection? Please. I was nodding my head even to this camcorder bootleg video of the song.. I'm sure a good remix here and there would make this roolz the skoolz (as long as it doesn't follow in the tradition of the quality of remixers they had recently.)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

it's just slow bad hiphop, they did the exact same thing a thousand times better with "Da Funk"

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Discovery is pop through and through.

It was for the first four songs. Not the entire album though, by ANY means.

This is middlebrow Prodigy style bad dance/hiphop.

I'm not going to comment on this... where to start.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, ok then, Discovery is disco through and through.

Comment away, but Daft Punk doing a "serious" record is waking up from the dream as far as I'm concerned.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Ronan, have to say I think your damnation is premature!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not claiming the new Daft Punk is going to be their best album by any means.. it could be their worst by a country mile.. or it could blow the previous two away. We are, so far, basing this on a bootleg of one song here so far... let's be fair and not overreact just yet.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope you're right Spencer! But it's been a long wait and this song is very disappointing. To me it feels like the kind of single that all the people who thought Discovery was ironic or too pop will absolutely love.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't even really hear what the bassline is doing in that clip.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Although, if "Robot Rock" is a sign of what the rest of the album is going to be like, they might actually have a chance to break big-time in the U.S. moreso than ever before.. haha. (*the sound of the rest of the world puking*)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Comment away, but Daft Punk doing a "serious" record is waking up from the dream as far as I'm concerned.

I guess you didn't think much of Homework then? I like the first album, but it does sound more like it fits the more "serious" traditional electronic/house/techno album niche moreso than Discovery.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

O ye of little faith!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

based on that sample, i am inclined to agree with ronan here. my one saving grace is the hope that there's all sorts of stuff happening above and below the guitar sample in the mix that a shitty digital camera couldn't hope to pick up.
