lots of this record still stands up well. something like "face 2 face" is secretly one of the best songs ever made.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Monday, 4 March 2013 11:24 (eleven years ago) link
"face to face" even, not sure why i assumed it was a 2.
still one of my favourite records IMO

don't know why I wrote IMO just there, of course my favourite records are my opinion ;-)

"face to face" is still the best thing on this - Crescentdolls, Short Circuit, etc are the secret keepers once you get past the frontloaded singles

"veridis quo" is my favorite on this.I always prefer their more moody pieces ("emotion", "make love", many tracks on Tron...).
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 4 March 2013 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
"light it up and get groovy baby" is the single most romantic phrase i can imagine! daft punk wish they could evoke a hundredth of that emotion, indeed a hundredth of that sonic pleasure

I like bits of Discovery but I can totally get in the headspace of people who don't like Discovery. It's repetitive. When there is musical development, it's predictable. It sounds like a digital nightmare. There's side-chain compression everywhere. Unless you're already totally 100% on board with the Daft Punk retro-futurist stripped-down space-disco aesthetic, you won't like Daft Punk.
― C: (crüt), Saturday, 9 March 2013 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
I enjoy that description of the album but don't know if the conclusion's fair because IMWOYP Daft Punk were a huge gateway electronica 'band' thing

it's way less repetitive than most of its house music influences. How do you mean 'repetitive'?
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Saturday, 9 March 2013 22:52 (eleven years ago) link
that's some bullshit. daft punk was awesome when i was a kid and 'repetitive' wasn't even in my musical vocabulary, much less any kind of familiarity with a retro-futurist stripped-down space-disco aesthetic.

daft punk was repetitive to me when I was a kid

lots of music is repetitive

some people don't like music that is too repetitive for them

:-p
Discovery is way less repetitive than Daft Punk's other albums tho.

Anyway the last sentence of that post was a little off mark, yeah. I was mostly just rattling off some things that characterize Daft Punk's sound/aesthetic that could be divisive. The repetition definitely isn't as heavy on Discovery as their other albums, although I'd still say there are a LOT of repetitive/minimal elements. That's just my perception tho & certainly not something I'd expect e.g. house music heads to agree with.
― C: (crüt), Saturday, 9 March 2013 23:24 (eleven years ago) link
I just remember getting Discovery in 2001, when I was 13 & not familiar with many different kinds of music, and to me things like "Crescendolls" and "Superheroes" were super repetitive because I wasn't used to music where unrelenting 1-2 bar loops were right at the front of the mix.
― C: (crüt), Saturday, 9 March 2013 23:29 (eleven years ago) link
n.b. I still thought those songs were cool and exciting. especially "Superheroes" because of the ending.

i think crut's post applies a lot more to Homework which was the first DP album I got. this was like 2003 but I was really into Underworld and Orbital and upon hearing DP my first reaction was "these guys really don't know how to build up a track". of course that is my 17 year old self saying this. I think the truth is that there are certain aspects of DP's house that you really have to buy into and ultimately I don't think they have the talent that Underworld has. Discovery is even more stylized (and to be honest I find it hard to think of a more influential album from the decade - the Discovery sound is everywhere right now), but the good vibes are a lot more front and center. I don't really consider it "repetitive" - at least not in comparison to their other albums! I loved Alive 2007 so much because it injected that sound into the other material.

the idea of repetition as a negative thing, or something specific to (dance) (music) any one form, is an alien idea to me. to even isolate it in that way just feels so strange.
