#10 is much much better than i expected

#10 is much much better than i expected

ILM is not the rest of the world SHOCKA. ;)
No but really, doesn't surprise me at all. Critics don't break records any more (if this ever was the case.)And reactions have been 50/50 all along, probably even disappointed fans have purchased HAA and as I've been saying, there is a group of people who like this better than Discovery. So #10 sounds about right.

Sort of a longshot: but is this a relatively slow/big sounding track with loadsa scratching sounds?

Yeah, tho' I haven't heard it in a while, so I may be off a little.

― BARMS, Monday, 21 March 2005 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

well i'm not ILM Omar, it was based on my own reckoning - it's a pretty hard sounding album, i figure it's selling more due to generous media coverage (the tv ads etc.) and many people just thinking 'oh new daft punk, the last one was cool so i'll get this' - they may only have heard 'robot rock'). non-dance press reaction did seem weighted towards the negative. it's a pleasant surprise really, but it's extraordinary to think that it's first week sales are probably better than those of 'Kish Kash's going by chart positions alone.

ohboy, ohboy...will I finally find peace of mind. :)

well i'm not ILM

this is true. ;) You believe tv ads would make a difference? I'm sceptical about this. The "what a disaster/joke" anti-hype just seemed premature in retrospect.

Just finished listening to this for the first time. It's certainly Daft Punk, personality-wise, but - whew!- is it light on the ideas!

Another person asking who did that "Make Love" remix. Is it really Ivan Ivan, or is donut messing w/our heads?

― Stupornaut (natepatrin), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I was going to buy for this mofo today, but noooooo, I won't get it 'til April 5th.

But this new A-Frames' Black Forest (that also came out today) is amazing.. and I'm dancing to it a lot more than Human After All

― donut debonair (donut), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 05:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I should note I was going to buy THE VINYL for... sorry. Important qualifier there.

― donut debonair (donut), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

(also I'm dancing to the A-Frames in a very different way I'd dance to da 'Punk.. this is not a direct recommendation necessarily for Daft Punk fans)

― donut debonair (donut), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 05:17 (twenty-one years ago)

This album is seriously underrated. I like it at least as much as the first one.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

Humans After All was a hoax after all! Of course Daft Punk would never release such a repetitive, loopy mess of an album. I've got a friend in the Toshiba-EMI Yogaku-bu (Western music division) who filled me in on the secret and slipped me the real DP release due to hit stores next month: Robots After All. Here is the single "Rrobot Rrock" (mp3) - a vast improvement over the original hoax version.

why did they send six copies of the "hoax" album to my radio station this week?

Yes, quite the improvement.

According to BoingBoing, there's a video for "Technologic" now. Here's the torrent:

...okay, just watched it and AAAAAGH HOLY FUCK GET IT AWAY FROM ME.

― Telephonething, Sunday, 10 April 2005 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

i cant help but listen to "technologic" without thinking it was purposely made to soundtrack tomorrow's electronics and it commercials
-- mark p, January 25th, 2005 12:14 AM.

SO IT IS DONE. The new ipod commercial uses "Technologic".

*cries*

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

where can I see this ad?

Just played during SNL.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

This was destiny! I've always though DP deliberately tailor-made the song to appeal to to the Apple/ipod/burning/ripping/downloading culture.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Genius.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Is the commercial anything like the "Technologic" video? now THAT would be genius.

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

This is quite similar to the Shins song used in the Mcdonalds commercial in regards to content of the song and the use of it.

mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmmm we are human mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmm after all...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:01 (twenty years ago)

I never listen to this now!

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:04 (twenty years ago)

I've been listening to "Release the Beast" a lot on the Freeform Five mix.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

Both of those Breakwater albums are pretty good.. the first album (the one that doesn't have "Release The Beast") is actually better.. especially "Do It Till The Fluid Gets Hot". Admittedly, I have to thank Daft Punk for turning me on to this group.

(As for HAA, I've lost my initial disenchantment for it... it's still Daft Punk saying "ah fuck it" still, but I don't dislike the album any more.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

i haven't listened to this in months!! completely exited my brain.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

I think buying it on vinyl helped (which was released almost a month after the CD was.) I wouldn't have blinked an eye buying a somewhat decent hard techno-housey album by any other artist, always expecting half filler, but I had my expectations raised for this one, because.. well... it was the same guys who did Discovery, ya know?

Aside from the Basement Jaxx remix of "Technlogic", the singles from this have been pretty disappointing.

― donut ferry (donut), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

still listening to it and loving it.

i admire the way the emperor machine takes everything thats bad about the original and makes it even worse

― unconscious, honey (FE7), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

HEY GUYS, REMEMBER THIS ALBUM? LOLOLOLOL.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Saturday, 29 October 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

I still like this.

― deej.. (deej..), Saturday, 29 October 2005 02:45 (twenty years ago)

me too, but I never listen to it.

Remember when nobody thought it was REAL, though? Pretty shameful!

― F.R.I.E.N.D. (nordicskilla), Saturday, 29 October 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

Not that they won't be good, but that is a rather predictable bunch of remixers.

― F.R.I.E.N.D. (nordicskilla), Saturday, 29 October 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

i still think it's godawful

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 29 October 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

I remember the day it came out excitedly rushing to Amoeba to hear it. They happened to be playing it on the store's stereo. I wandered the aisles as it played and it quickly ruled itself out as a purchase. I've heard it here and there since then and...ugh...no.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 29 October 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

The Sebastian remix is really awesome

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Saturday, 29 October 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

And the Justice mix, too. I'm still undecided on the Emperor Machine, though I'm glad they chose this as a single over, say, "Steam Machine."

― telephone thing, Saturday, 29 October 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

this album is wonderful

if you pretend its not daft punk it's quite enjoyable!

three months pass...

Japan-only remix compilation coming out soon. Definitely not worth paying ludicrous import prices for (unless you are hell-bent on owning Thomas and GuyMan Kubricks) but there are two new tracks that may be worth Soulseeking after the release: a Playgroup remix of "Steam Machine" and Para One of "Prime Time Of Your Life."
