DVD of this is U + K, they made everything else at Wireless look like a bag of puke.
LCD just seemed like they couldn't quite be bothered cos Murphy couldn't get enough vocals.

i'm not hugely into these guys, but i did see this on TV (the O2 wireless festival, hosted by the cockfarmer from popworld) and thought it was massive - nice good proper marriage of acid and house

It was nice to see A Zane realise he probably wasn't going to get the better of J Murphy and revert to grovelling mode.
― Michael Philip Philip Philip philip Annoyman, Monday, 18 June 2007 09:57 (sixteen years ago) link
see if it had been Alexia Chung interviewing she would've made it a much more convincing joke to assume Murphy was from LA.

Just to add my voices the wireless festival praise - twas superb!

a guy I know met them after "rock ness" and they couldn't understand him and his girlfriend was talking to one of their mums
saw them at pukkelpop, last year. it was great despite it being the end of a long weekend and a bit of a crush

james murphy is just a crap vocalist. it's too bad because the band is great, egging each other on - it would be great if they had a singer who could egg everyone on, too. instead murphy seems to try to go for some kind of ill-advised ian astbury impersonation interspersed with fey indie asides, very little of which seems to have anything to do with the music being played behind him.

I think If I was any other band on the bill that day I'd just give up. Daft Punk were on a different planet.

Roll on, Coney Island. I apologize to anyone near me in the crowd that day if I shit myself.

vahid (or anyone else), i bought two for july 27th but it turns out i'm in new jersey all summer, is $65 each fair? still pretty expensive for daft punk i know, but ebay sez 86 bucks (plus $15 shipping!) is the lowest and it'd be nice to recoup that shipping/service charge crap ticketmaster pulls, if anyone's interested

I saw them on Sunday in Leeds.
The best lighting i have seen - ever. The whole show was fantastic. In parts it was phenomenal, particularly the encore of human after all/one more time/music sounds better with you.

i bought tix for seattle and then moved to sf last month so fuckin shitty.
― babedad, Friday, 20 July 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link
wait... I know someone who bought tickets for Seattle and then moved to SF last month (or maybe it was a month earlier)... and that dude read ILM sometimes. My official take is that anyone who bought tickets for the Seattle show should find a way up to Seattle... cuz it's gonna be totally awesome!

which i realize is kind of a ridiculous take probably

OMG so good. Different from Coachella too. They should really set it up in Vegas as a regular thing - at the Luxor of course.
Quite simply the most entertaining thing I have ever experienced.

it doesn't really mean anything either way, just guessing that if one of them were dried up creatively in 2021, it'd more likely be the one who's generally done less music outside the group. (even Le Knight Club was a duo, and mainly filtered disco loops...)
― stilt in the wings (sic), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 05:37 (three years ago) link
they've both done collabs independently of the other in the past few years - Thomas with the Arcade Fire, Guy-Man with the Weeknd and Charlotte Gainsbourg
was the Parcels track the last released thing that they worked on together??
― eisimpleir (crüt), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 05:47 (three years ago) link
afaik, but I didn't know Guy-Man had done Weeknd stuff without Bangalter
― stilt in the wings (sic), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 05:59 (three years ago) link
he co-wrote & produced one track on My Dear Melancholy along with Gesaffelstein. what i didn't know is that he co-wrote & produced Kavinsky's "Nightcall"!
neither has been that prolific with solo collaborations really, they've both done about the same amount
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 09:48 (three years ago) link
had a couple of co-writes on the Tellier album he produced too
Bangalter has done solo stuff (and a little more writing?) as well as other collabs, was my idle half-thought. but it turns out the video is taken directly from the end of Electroma, so no runes to scry either way.
Digging to catch up on the bits they've done since Parcels (in 2017):
Thomas produced and co-wrote Supercherie (2018, kinda Get Lucky-lite) and produced, co-wrote, played synth and sang on L'autre Paradis (2019) for -M-. Guy-Man wrote the music, co-wrote the lyrics and produced Rest by Charlotte Gainsbourg (2017, mixed by the other bloke from Le Knight Club), and Hurt You (2018) is that Weeknd song with Gesaffelstein.

also was not aware that Natalie Imbruglia had released a cover of Instant Crush

I kind of wonder if the continuity they’ve had since the large-scale festival and arena shows that’s followed through to appearing in the helmets in a variety of tv performances and collaborations has kind of boxed-in the brand. The between-album shifts and minor reinventions are a little trickier to pull off when you’re yoked to the robot helmet shtick?
― mh, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 23:11 (three years ago) link
Random Access was the biggest style shift of all, played with real humans in contrast to the robot helmet schtick. Probably would have been time for a major helmet redesign if they made another record, or just go full anonymous - the helmets were a very minor part of the image when they debuted for Discovery, given the Interstella 5555 videos.

The Helmets were actually designed for the Discovery era. Interstella 5555 doesn’t feature them much since the idea for the anime was developed with TOEI in the early stages of Discovery and the helmets came after, developed by Alterian. At one point the helmet designs even had hair.
Here’s a short interview with helmet creator Tony Gardner, where you can see the hair design and explaining the process:
