Is the bonus DVD all of the videos? That might make it worth it....

― Joseph B. Cowart (flamingrev), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

It isn't, and their two DVDs put together cost less than a new CD already (no jabbering baby robot heads, though)

You know, lots of people have complained about the last Daft Punk album ... from James Murphy on Pitchfork down to the many, many ILMers and bloggers ... but in retrospect, short as it may be at this point, hasn't a lot of the other shit people are psyched on been derived from that output OR nearly the same?

Alter Ego - Rocker (remember when this leaked as "Human After All"?)
Justice
Digitalism
a ton of other guitar driven electro shit.

p.s. "Stream Machine" was like the sickest fucking Suicide rip-off ever. Not that all of "Human After All" was solid, but it wasn't bad! There were some really solid tracks ...

ugh i hate all that farty justice stuff, really does not do it for me, just like this album

Don't forget Busta!

Leaving Virgin or not, no "Digital Love" on a DP greatest hits collection ain't a DP greatest hits collection.

Too right.

one month passes...

The show at Coachella was easily the best concert I have *ever* seen. The lights, my god, the lights. It was like a constantly shifting star gate sequence from 2001 crossed with Tron, all perfectly choreographed to the most amazing mash up of all their hits with really intense edits and pacing. They appear as robots on the screens, and they seem to be talking to each other, but can they really hear each other? Did they just push one button? Are they using Ableton? Who knows. Who cares? Just amazing.

think it may be worth going to Global Gathering in July just to see them!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 07:39 (twenty years ago)

new material?

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 08:21 (twenty years ago)

seemingly no

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 08:26 (twenty years ago)

not doing much to disprove the notion that global could have taken place in 1999...

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 08:30 (twenty years ago)

yes, it's very Britcentric. but they do have Digitalism, Justice blah blah lower down the list tho.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 08:39 (twenty years ago)

Whoah...

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 13:13 (twenty years ago)

I wish

the global thing can be crazy expensive. VIP?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 13:19 (twenty years ago)

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Wow great pics!

― van igloo (van smack), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:37 (twenty years ago)

All found via flickr. Also read that they were using synths, midi controllers and ableton.

― i'm from hollywood, Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:42 (twenty years ago)

vaguely: "Daft Punk's 'Electroma' is visual and musical and which follows the history of two robots in their search to become human."

anyway, what's with the re-issue of "human after all" coming out tomorrow?

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Hehehe, I should have guessed my source would have been here already. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

And can someone remind me? Wasn't 'Human After All' a huge dud? Is all forgiven?

― pleased to mitya (mitya), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:20 (twenty years ago)

it was all sung in english, as far as I can remember, so what's the prob?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:21 (twenty years ago)

there's an amateur video of the entire coachella performance making its way around the torrent sites (themixingbowl.org and others)

the video's not top quality but the performance sure is

― W i l l (common_person), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 18:02 (twenty years ago)

The new er... direction of Daft Punk makes a lot more sense after seeing the single videos somehow. Almost makes it seem like they were first to the supposed trend going on in french house (wot I read about on Stylus... apart from Uffie I've heard like, _none_ of it yet) everyone going for a more rock-inclined in-the-red repetetive brutality in their tracks.

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 19:24 (twenty years ago)

/heads over to justice myspace to check "the fuss" late as ever..

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 19:27 (twenty years ago)

all image and no substance. i still don't get the love for daft punk.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 19:33 (twenty years ago)

the supposed trend going on in french house is more than ten years old!

― FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Thursday, 11 May 2006 05:11 (twenty years ago)

what makes you think there is no substance, frenchbloke? i'm not sure what you mean exactly. no depth to the music? or what depth there is is jsut derived from other things?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 11 May 2006 09:13 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

hearing snippets of their live set in Ireland down the phone now courtesy of kv_nol. soundin' GOOOOOOD.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 25 August 2006 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

They've added a new member and are now called Sensus, apparently.

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Thursday, 5 October 2006 05:53 (nineteen years ago)

that video was awesome!

not

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Thursday, 5 October 2006 06:06 (nineteen years ago)

Adding a house beat to that would make it the best thing ever.

― I.M. From Hollywood (i_m_from_hollywood), Thursday, 5 October 2006 07:12 (nineteen years ago)

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
WITHOUT A REAL ATMOSPEHRE?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 5 October 2006 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

So, who's going????
