Daft Punk's Homework V. Discovery

xpost: Musicians be having influences. (And surely that influence runs both ways with all those examples. I mean, weren't DP in a band with one of the dudes from Phoenix, ffs?)

I'm just saying that deliberately portentious sound notwithstanding <i>Homework</i> was at its core kind of a generic acid house record.

how is this record portentous?

voted 'homework' for sentimental reasons; they're both amazing, there isn't that much separating them; could care less about "as-of-2007-DP-fans" and their tastes since i've been one since 1996. 'homework' isn't pedestrian.

You're absolutely right. I should have ran out and bought the "Alive" single when I was 8, then I'd have cred.

xxp

a totally distinct genre that sounds like a mix of phoenix, cassius and alan braxe

to be fair this is a pretty awesome genre

yes, one that has inspired countless 300+ post threads arguing the relative merits of homework, discovery, HAA and the justice album

tired of motherfuckers trying to tell me they're down with prince

People in liking an extremely popular musician.

you should read the justice thread.

ronan on that thread = me on this thread
me on that thread = you on this thread

also i say really grumpy and bitchy shit to a bunch of people i like, for no good reason.

1000+ posts of pure awesomeness.

I've read the Justice thread, not interested in doing it again. Yikes. Still lol @ one of the first couple posts: "That pretentious symbol looks familiar", though.

And I disagree, if you close your eyes, it sounds exactly like something from '96 -- that is, ANYTHING from '96.

this is totally wrong to me. list three tracks by other people that could've been on Homework or vice versa. in '96 nothing sounded like DP (not even just the recontext of disco on 'Trax On Da Rocks' - American takes on this weren't as 'psychedelic' or the deeper-but-less-range 'Pansoul').

listened to bit of old Leftfield essential mix from '94 last night and it's got 'Alive' in it daamn

i d/l'd 'discovered', this thing of 'tracks sampled by' DP. kind of bemused -- no idea what connects 'da funk' to the track they include.

was it the james brown track with the 3 second drum break?

'get it up for love' by tata vega.

oh yeah i didn't hear the sample in that either. fantastic track tho.

we should do a poll on best song sampled by daft punk, on its own.

Naaaaaaahhhhhh...

If anything, Homework kinda went against the grain. The big trends in house and techno at that time were breakbeats, deep/progressive house, drum and bass, trip hop, etc... Trippy, spacey, "warm", "deep" immersive sounds. Daft Punk were a bit more stripped down, hard edged, disco-ish, electro-ish. They were a ahead of their time in some ways, and looking back in others.

there is a lot of butthurtedness going around on this thread

dude it's dance cats & pop dudes colliding wut u expect

human after all

OTM!! ^

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i love the follow-up to the poll question. talk about trying to add bias.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

jeez

wau though, that's a lot of votes.

typical of ILM to champion the weaker option.

Listen u fong, ilm is a general interest music board, not a dance board, and Discovery obv has the wider reach. 44 votes for Homework is still pretty significant!

...fong?

typical of pipecock to act the tard

tard / fong? i like these new words.

anyway, 'discovery' the worthy winner in my book cos i listen to it more.

ya i forget this is ilm, jabbahands otm.

lol fong

-- jabba hands"

so people with "general interest" don't actually know anything about dance as we can see here. and judging by the "rap" producers poll, they dont know shit about hiphop either. so for all the general interest, what the fuck does anyone know about here?

<3

what the fuck does anyone know about here?

now Skapunk, that's what i CALL dance music

pipecock would you go yank it to al jolson already
