All this amazing new music is making me quite ecstatic.

Yeah, I was thinking about this myself. 2005 seems to have hit the ground running on that front.

you are all stupid cunts

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 22 January 2005 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

daft cunts i meant.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 22 January 2005 01:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that like being in the KISS Army?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 22 January 2005 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Photoshop away.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 January 2005 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it's being really over-rated on this thread considering what it actually amounts to. not awful but just not all that, putting it for me in the same class as Prodigy's 'Girls' (*Ronan explodes*) neither higher nor lower.

Stevem in 'meh' reaction to group favourite shocker ;)

Yeah its not up to One More Time/Digital Love standard but still pretty great as far as I'm concerned. This cleared the dancefloor last night, incidentally. I fucking hate people.

yeah, i'm not too hot on this. it's nice enough. as tim f said, it sounds like an album track, and might make more sense in context.

SFJ sez the album sounds like a fax machine. tho i'm not sure he's the authority on this kinda thing. house music, that is.

Breakwaters - "Release The Beast" if you havent already heard it....

― zappi (joni), Saturday, 22 January 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Much more continuity with the Discovery sound than I was expecting

Praise Robot Jesus for that! Still on my no-preview crusade but this humming, can't get it out of (reliable) heads, business sure is wonderful news.

― Omar (Omar), Saturday, 22 January 2005 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

daft punk = god

― tron, Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

wtf! it would take me about 60 minutes and a copy of soundforge to get from that breakwater track to "robot rock". i'm not really sure how i feel about that.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

"Robot Rock" = the motherhugging bomb. Just the timbre of that guitar sound, the way it's been processed or edited or whatever. Hmmm, Homework tracks produced like Discovery ones, anybody?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I think that "human after all" sample up there is bullshit. even on computer speakers it doesn't sound like them. I have another version that's AMAZING, like a combination of homeworky beats/bass with discovery-ish phasored synths over top (so much so that it could just be a really good imitation...) i'll put it up if I can figure out how to use usendit.com

― Elliot (Elliot), Saturday, 22 January 2005 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, this might work:

― Elliot (Elliot), Saturday, 22 January 2005 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

It sounds like Daft Punk, but it certainly doesn't sound like an album-opening track.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 22 January 2005 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, the Breakwater track is illuminating...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 23 January 2005 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

hearing the breakwaters track reminded me of hearing george duke's "i love you more" for the first time a couple years ago.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 23 January 2005 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know if i was just too excited, but i'm just not that impressed with 'robot rock'... it sounds not bad as an album track, but kind of disappointing as a single.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Sunday, 23 January 2005 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

it was cool to hear it at The End last night, even better tho was Erol Alkan opening his set with The Prime Time Of Your Life - OMG the vocoder sounded so good and it's like E.L.O. gone electro-schaffel muthafuckas

― Stevem On X (blueski), Sunday, 23 January 2005 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

cues for Daft Punk's new look...

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 23 January 2005 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Robot Rock, eh?

http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/gobot/rocklords.jpg

That was Erol Alkan playing 'Prime Time'? Wasn't looking, I was too caught up in the moment after an excellent moment of song ID'ing. Everyone loved it, even when it shredded itself into tiny molecule rending shrapnel and we had to stop dancing.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Sunday, 23 January 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh i'm assuming the track really does just accelerate to 2000bpm and that wasn't just Alkan arsing around

― Stevem On X (blueski), Sunday, 23 January 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Its place in the tracklist makes sense (1st or 2nd track easy). See dude, there is one album I'm not doubting on right now ;-).

Think that was a Vitalic remix of 'Robot Rock' this morning?

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Sunday, 23 January 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I have another version that's AMAZING,

It's the same track that MarkP linked to earlier on. Still, nice track - but thw fact the second half is exactly the same as the first half kind of makes it seem like a fake.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Sunday, 23 January 2005 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I somehow missed it til later.

― Elliot (Elliot), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG EARLY DEMO

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 24 January 2005 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

What is this "sampling" I've been hearing about?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 24 January 2005 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

it's this thing

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 24 January 2005 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Interesting.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 24 January 2005 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

"HUMAN AFTER ALL"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 24 January 2005 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

"THEPRIMETIMEOFYRLIFE"

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 24 January 2005 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM THE BRAINWASHAAAAA

― stomp (+dancefloor), Monday, 24 January 2005 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

The whole television obsession is ironic/anachronistic?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

"they're heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere"

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 24 January 2005 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

So, every one knows it's on Soulseek now?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 24 January 2005 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah it leaked

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 24 January 2005 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn, this robot bird flies by my window and starts singing the whole album before I can kill it (...well had to listen to it just one time, can't stand you guys going on about it for 2 months.)

[Enters wanna-be jaded mode] nah fuck that, tears of joy when they sing "prime time of your life" for the first time (that's one strange track btw.)

― Omar (Omar), Monday, 24 January 2005 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

damn 56k i want more than anything to hear this.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 24 January 2005 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

'Make Love' (sort of lover's motorik innit?) is so sweet, my teeth fell out.

[exits chanting footie style: "Three Classics In A Row! Three Classics In A Row!"]

― Omar (Omar), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

oddly, daft punk albums always get release/leaked just as i either break up with or get a new girlfriend.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

which one was it this time?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

got a new one (last friday)

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM THE BRAINWASHAAAAA

ha! That's one cool moment.

Very much robotic I'm glad to report [deletes it from HD]

― Omar (Omar), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

the first two tracks are great - i expect the rest is too - i am about to find out :)

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 24 January 2005 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I love it. Steam Machine is such a funny song, it's as if an actual steam machine is singing his crazy little song to seduce the mangler. I love it.

― JakeWithBrain!, Monday, 24 January 2005 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

this.

album.

is.

so.

fucking.

amazing.

― Nic de Teardrop (Nicholas), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

After one listen, I'm disappointed. I only really like the single, "The Prime Time of Your Life" and "The Brainwasher". It sounds like an electronic novelty pop album, and those three tracks work great in that context. The others didn't excite me. It took me a while to get into Discovery, unlike a lot of people who loved it right away, and the warmth of emotion of that album is certainly not here. The tracks I mentioned have a sort of rocking dance pulse I can relate to.

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 24 January 2005 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, "Steam Machine" as well. Anyway, the remixes will be something to look forward to.
