I'm always impressed how elementary school kids can't get enough of Discovery.

Da Funk was my favorite song when I was 7-8, parents would play it all the time and it made sense to me. Not unlike MJ.

but actually it doesn't work because they're doing things that reminds their early stuff while DP's new album doesn't seem to be about what they were doing but what inspired them as kids...

aw this thread made me listen to this for the first time since these days... it was also among the tracks that would be played everywhere in Paris then.

which makes me wonder : do people, sayg under 30, care about this new DP ? ime very very much YES, i would guess even that for a majority of daft punk fans in the us this is the first daft punk release they've gotten to experience in real time and they are stoked

People under 30 are awaiting this like the second coming, i say it blows JT out of the water for now.

ten years from now it's gonna all be a group of ilxor kids going "oh yeah well i got ratatat's first mix cd when i was like NINE"

kinda surprised we don't have any Aja types popping in nowadays who are younger than ILX

I'm waiting for the ones who are the RESULT of ILX.

It's sad that I can remember reading this review. I am so old.

I still HAVE that issue. Remember that review too. Hell I'm pretty sure I remembered at the time just as a random description I thought worked great.

that stereolab track is so great

Who wrote that review?

what does that darlin' 45 go for now?

IIRC it was Ian Gittins but I could be wrong. I'll have to dig that up.

answering my own Q

apparently $106 on discogs

"daft punky" doesn't really work, good call robots

I regret not buying that because of Huggy Bear hatred.

What was Single of the Week, while you're at it?

Actually that's probably an album review from the layout. I always liked that font, MM was great to read.

No it was a singles column entry, I remember that much.

Yeah, I pulled the review from GIS so I don't remember what the single of the week was.

CrispyBen, nope no luck on those leads, thx though.

anonanon, what about Aufgang? Playing their new record right now and thinking of your query...

That's weird. I looked up that review at the library just the other day to check the exact quote. Reviewer was Dave Jennings and it was on the singles reviews page. Didn't notice what the SOTW was.

ha, I actually came across Aufgang through "independent research" and mentioned them upthread but they are too slick/busy/produced for what I'm looking for. Now if you had something that sounded like rough Aufgang demos played on piano + drums...

was it: http://www.beatport.com/track/tantakatan-original-mix/527292 ??

j/k but that's what i keep thinking of when you say piano and drums

Yeah, I keep harping on that as I seem to recall it was presented more like a band, a experimental duo or trio maybe who were exploring a house-y sound through reverb-y piano repetition and drums, as opposed to a house producer using live sounding instrumentation, which is mostly what I've been able to turn up.

Probably too full and jazzy for your description, but I really loved this a couple of years back and thought it worth sharing.

what about Tussle?

when did the weekly inky UK press stop bleeping out the swears? they print 'F***' as 'Fuck' in NME these days and i'm sure have done for years.

It wasn't Hauschka was it?

Oasis getting big really undermined that policy xp, when for years the content of every other page was "Fook! Fookin c***!"

I didn't know what c*** was when I first started buying it

I think Shaun Ryder was why NME invented "fook"

iirc 'fahckin cahnt' was how they did Essex

greg wilson gone done an edit

Question: is the song getting any mainstream airplay in the US? Any airplay at all?

It was playing on the tinny radio behind the counter where I was getting my lunch (not in the US though). It sounded pretty terrible tbh, I can see why you'd ramp up the compression if that's the media you're targeting.

It's been getting some airplay on that Canadian station that accidentally leaked it.

daft punk, homework
prodigy, fat of the land
a blur album
what's the story morning glory
verve, urban hymms
chemical brothers, the one with block rockin beats
fatboy slim, come a long way baby
reef, place your hands one
manic street preachers, everything must go
bently rhythm ace
+ something by ocean colour scene, or embrace or something like that.

Ah, the Britannia Music Club.

report from a friend djing a wedding on Long Island last weekend:

"had 50 middle-aged people from Ohio dancing to Get Lucky, dropped it right after 'we are family' :)"
