It's not a very good album, just cos it's moodds don't really take you wanyway. It's neither funky or interesting. Every track has an idea, an OK one, and that's it.

On a different note, Ned, I'm envious that you got a MIA ticket. I tried to get one for the Knitting Facotry (NY), but sold out. I'm always too slow. But anyway, MIA is exciting, Daft Punk are not (how's that for a pointless comparison?)

But they could both be exciting! Etc. etc. I have a ticket but I still don't know if I can fully swing it (getting up to the show is not a worry, getting back might be!). I intend to work something out by hook or by crook, though.

Are you afraid Mark will dump you in an alley somewhere?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 28 January 2005 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Is there a special trick to swinging a ticket that I don't know about?

― The Ghost of An Immature Juvenile (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 January 2005 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it true that Virgin considered cancelling the release after it leaked so early and got so many bad early reviews?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

where'd you hear that?

s1ocki's post was 909.

Haha, The New Real Daft Punk Album, coming in November 2005.

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 30 January 2005 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know anything about this

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 30 January 2005 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks jed!

Oooh, that's nice. I was just thinking that this is the first time I'll even really care about the remixes.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 30 January 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

remixes are a way more central part of dance music now than the last 2 times they released an album.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 30 January 2005 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you think? what has made them more central now as opposed to constant in importance?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Sunday, 30 January 2005 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Does this mean that Pitchfork review of the Daft Club remixes CD is going to have to flip his cartoon panels?

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 30 January 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

haha

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

"make love remix" is 10 x better than the original.

Maybe Human After All was intended to be a remix construction kit? I have no idea if this remix was done the past week, or was a commissioned remix from way back when, but it's really nice either way.

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

..I mean, come to think of it, maybe Human After All would have been better off marketed as a "loops/breaks" release and not "the next album". It now makes a LOT more sense in the former context!

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Do we know who did this remix?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Ivan Ivan! He's back!

― donut christ (donut), Sunday, 30 January 2005 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, I would just like to reiterate that "TECHNOLOGIC" IS FUCKING AWESOME OMGWTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

And I would just like to reiterate: BLORP BWAAAP PHBLLLT (repeat x50)

But oh. This "Make Love" remix. SO FRESH SO CLEAN.

― What's this place, Biblevania? (natepatrin), Monday, 31 January 2005 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

discovery kind of had a life changing effect on me. no joke.
this is just like a bunch of building blocks.
so yeah it's a shame. still i love MAKE LOVE and ROBOT ROCK though.

it's hard to be too downhearted after 3 of the best pop albums of all time waltzed up without any warning last year (you know; your anniemal, your devin dazzle, your love. angel. music. baby) and
as long as that keeps happening it'll be okay!

i sooo wish theyd toured the *last* one though.

― piscesboy, Monday, 31 January 2005 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

See, I'm fearing if they tour with this album, it will be with Ratatat or the Fucking Champs, and it will be one big RockIronictra fest. :/

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

LOVE THOU THE ROCK?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 January 2005 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

So, the Twin Cities contingent isn't much impressed, eh? We'll see.

i wonder if i am the only person who liked the two crydamoure compilations better than either "discovery" or "homework".

Yes. Well, at least yes on the second one. The first one was pretty amazing.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 31 January 2005 06:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan, incidentally, judging by your reaction to both this album and the Alter Ego track up thread... why the fuck are you not ALL OVER the electrohouse 2004-05 threads? If you like this stuff then you should by all rights be going mental over Tiefschwarz and Rex The Dog and Vitalic and the like...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 31 January 2005 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

trudat

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 31 January 2005 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Vitalic is awesome, or at least "Pony" is awesome. The others I haven't heard because I don't buy much music anymore and I've been avoiding filesharing as it is the devil's work (IOW I'm running out of disk space).

Also, if I'm brutally honest I would be happy just listening to "Technologic" on loop and ignoring the rest of the album.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

it reminds me too much of 'We Want Your Soul' and 'Slash Dot Dash' (not musically just thematically) amongst other tracks

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

and it's not as good as L.F.O.'s 'Freak'

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, what is as good as "Freak"???

(Also, "Slash Dot Slash" sucks ass; I have completely fallen out of love with Fatboy Slim.)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

If you like this stuff then you should by all rights be going mental over Tiefschwarz and Rex The Dog and Vitalic and the like...

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 31 January 2005 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

all right all right. i am convinced, CONVINCED, that this is NOT DAFT PUNK. and what's our belief all based upon? some friend-of-a-friend confirmation from a lurker with a wierd name no one's heard from again on another thread. it doesn't jibe. that said, this shit's pretty cool. 7/10 sounds good to me. but i don't believe it's daft punk. my prediction (you will revere me in the future!): this is the new (and best) album by a band already mentioned a couple of times in this thread. initials T.A.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

this couldn't be anyone else surely

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

From some other board:

I got some smashing rumor about this album.
don't know if it's true, i got this from daft punk channel on soulseek.

This album it to contain only B-sides and all A-sides are to relesd in 10 singels This things said some guy who was saying he know guys from Daft.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

um, you are joking right? i can't believe that anyone seriously thinks this is NOT Daft Punk. however disappointed you may be in it, the style is totally them.

the rumours are absurd, though I would expect Daft Punk to want to fuck with pre-conceptions and piracy to SOME extent...

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm stepping out. i'm unconvinced. come time, if i'm wrong, i'll eat, uh, my lunch. but without enjoyment.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

ha. who else has this 'oh it can't really be them can it?' thing happened to prior to a new album release? does it only happen to Dance acts? get over it already. if it's not DP i'll eat your wife.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Rowr.

― andrew m's wife (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course its the fucking real album, unless someone went out of their way to manufacture a fake tracklisting as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 31 January 2005 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

unthinkable

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

oh hell, it probably is fer real. forget i said anything. no one has to eat anyone's wife.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw.

― andrew m's wife (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

This album it to contain only B-sides and all A-sides are to relesd in 10 singels This things said some guy who was saying he know guys from Daft.

That's bullshit. That's like having an artist release an entire album on CD as only one track...

oh..wait.

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

the 'it's not them' line is silly silly fanboy wishful thinking that seems to make some sort of horrible sense.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

but is mostly just sour grape flavoured disappointment.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

... and incredulity.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

hahha "Just Lose It" CAN'T be the new single! It just can't!

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

So, how do you think it's holding up?

I still like it a lot, LOVE the title track, but tend to skip Robot Rock - want to experience it while out, instead.

However, what I can't stop listening to is the Make Love remix. Has any other remix leaked?

― JakeWithBrain!, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The track I've gone back to repeatedly is "Technologic". Still haven't heard the "Make Love" remix.
