a little sceptical Kornel, no such track as 'Technoid' quoted - did you mean 'Technologic'?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently it's all "weird noise, techno with heavy metal guitars and really good 70's disco".

Not like I was expecting anything a hell of a lot different than that general idea, but YAY!

― What's this place, Biblevania? (natepatrin), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I meant "Technologic", sorry about that.

― piscesboy, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

haven't heard it yet, but there's a playback of it in london tonight

― Chris Houghton (chrish), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder when Tong will play 'Robot Rock' as the essential new tune, by the end of the month?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

according to chart singles.net a Basement Jaxx singles compilation is being released on the same day as Human After All!

― Stevem On X (blueski), Thursday, 13 January 2005 13:08 (twenty-one years ago)

march 21 is officially ilm day!

(actually I'm all for a Jaxx singles comp)

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

There should be kittens and robots in that picture as well.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder if they'll include any pre-Remedy singles.

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Flylife surely? altho they prob wouldn't put that as first track ahead of Red Alert etc.

― pete b. (pete b.), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

A singles comp after three albums normally seems strange to me...but this being Basement Jaxx it'll be pretty damned brilliant. March IS a fine month indeed!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Hopefully Basement Jaxx will provide some bonus tracks (a cover of My Perogative).

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Thursday, 13 January 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Stranger has occurred.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 January 2005 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 16 January 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

good track though!

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 16 January 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

skepticism is right. this isn't DP

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 16 January 2005 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, but WHO is it

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 16 January 2005 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Holy shit, Alter Ego have released new material??! This makes me much happier than a new Daft Punk album! "Decoding the Hacker Myth" is, despite the stupid title, one of my favourite LPs of the nineties.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 16 January 2005 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

"Rocker" by Alter Ego was probably the most played record of 2004, in clubs.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 16 January 2005 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Have they gone all clubby then? The last time I heard of them they were making contemplative electro-trance...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 16 January 2005 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes it's like a rock song done entirely electronically. I was not a total convert but it was absolutely everywhere in 04. For a time it was good!

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 16 January 2005 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to give it a listen once I get somewhere I can download that track. I never would've imagined they'd make a comeback, it's been, what, eight years since their last LP?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 16 January 2005 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they've always been around, though I'm not certain.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 16 January 2005 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

According to AMG, between 1996 and 2004 they've released a couple of singles and an EP, but nothing else. Didn't they have some alter egos (hahaha) though, maybe they were hiding behind them?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 16 January 2005 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the problem with "Rocker" is partly the way that people react to it... the sudden switches in the track, and the way that everyone waits for the synth hook, makes it feel a bit like a singalong rock song where the audience knows the chorus and gears themselves up for it (think "Why Does It Always Rain On Me"). Which is not to say that other big dance tracks don't do this too, but the progression feels less organic in "Rocker" (perhaps owing to its rock song structure). People don't seem interested in dancing to the groove so much as demonstrating their awareness of the track and enjoyment of it - it's one of those hands-in-the-air anthems where you put yr hands in the air partly because it seems like "the thing to do".

The distinction with eg. "Drop The Pressure" is that because everything is anchored on that looped bouncy synth hook the whole thing feels more unified, and like the audience is enjoying it as a dance track.

I still like "Rocker" BTW, but I think it's particularly susceptible to becoming irritating through over-familiarity for those reasons.

Who is that yousendit track by?

Gosh.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 16 January 2005 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

That is such a funny way to hear a new tune!

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 17 January 2005 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh jeez, they've become such U.S.E. wannabes...

*dodges rocks*

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah! Droney like "Fresh", funky like Discovery. I like.

― What's this place, Biblevania? (natepatrin), Monday, 17 January 2005 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh jeez, they've become such U.S.E. wannabes...

i realize i'm in the minority here, but i really hope this isn't true.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 17 January 2005 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Pretty cool tune. It would be great if Daft Punk toured w/Justus Kohncke, and I had to kneel in submission to a plastic dance-rock revolution. That probably won't happen, but it's fun to think about.

― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 17 January 2005 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

if this track sounds this good from a distance-mike recording of a PA, it's going to sound amazing on CD.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 17 January 2005 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm with ya mark

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 17 January 2005 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

haha i KNEW i'd heard that guitar sample from the new daft punk track somewhere. check murs & 9th wonder's "intro"!

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 17 January 2005 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh this song is awesome. I don't hear any USE-ness really.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(um guys, I was being facetious)

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

yes but your joke made us THINK!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:35 (twenty-one years ago)

think awful things.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

united hate of funtronica

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 17 January 2005 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

what the...

Is that an mpg from a club or something? i am so not understanding...

― piscesboy, Monday, 17 January 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh it's from a club where someone had a promo i guess. it's a little frustrating (that it doesn't do more) but still infectious (in what it does do, and clearly works best LOUD).

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 17 January 2005 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i KNEW i'd heard that guitar sample from the new daft punk track somewhere. check murs & 9th wonder's "intro"!

Good call! Any idea what the source sample is?

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

May as well be Ulysses 31 - GOOD THING. Sorta Ulysses/Cornelius - 'Drop' + 'Another View Point'/Discovery. That shit is absolutely fantastic and hearing that makes me actually anticipate my b-day.
