What's up with Daft Punk?

I like "Feel It Coming". one of the few things I like from the Weeknd, actually !

i feel it coming is my 4 y/o's favorite song right now

the official or mint-condition unofficial instrumental of "I Feel It Coming" is worth a listen: https://dbr.ee/8LRt

Nice!

ahh, that's great. much better than the vocal version.

Laserdisc?

The Wave Of The Future!

Seem to recall a couple of months ago Has It Leaked? claimed they were in the studio so possibly legit

I hope there is a spoken word track with Ralf from Kraftwerk talking about the history of the band over a minimalist drum machine pulse.

Vangelis, By...Vangelis

i'd like one from rowlf, the muppet piano dog.

French press says fake

Wow, all mine does is make coffee, never seen one that talks!

Here's hoping they use a drum machine and/or sampler for percussion again.

Yeah, Boombass from Cassius has denied any knowledge xps

I guess around the time of RAM, I noticed that those guys have never used a female vocalist. Have I missed that they in fact did? Is it not unusual that scholarly fellows such as they have avoided doing so?

The only female vocals they've ever used are on 'Ouverture', from Daft Club, iirc. That's Élodie Bouchez, Thomas Bangalter's wife. And yes, it's very unusual.

Looks like they’ve officially disbanded?

Ha, yes, I bumped the more recently active thread, but I saw that.

My wife says ppl online are freaking out b/c the group just updated their homepage. Anyone heard anything?

surely it's an NFT thing

They're playing at my house.

Da Funkgible Token Punk

They're playing at my house.

Alternatively, they're going to show up for LCD Soundsystem's SNL performance this weekend.

Kinda fun! Wish I'd gone to the show but I remember the era there.

this is pretty cool

whats the venue?

The Mayan in LA

Also reissuing Homework on vinyl, apparently.

Been a fun set. Just listening mostly but it's a true snapshot of time and place.

video download since Youtube rips are being taken down:

Saw them around that time. They were fun but not too different from very good contemporary Chicago or NYC dj’s playing in the House world. It’s just that …” pssst … these are two really young French dudes!” made it special.

The first album, remixes, offshoot labels and “Discovery” were and are still godhead to me, though.

xxpost -- thanks for that!

yeah, thanks

Thomas Bangalter, one half of legendary duo Daft Punk, is releasing a new solo album.

Out on April 7th via Erato/Warner Classics, Mythologies was commissioned by choreographer Angelin Preljocaj for the ballet of the same name, which was premiered last year by the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine.

Interesting. The ballet's title is a direct reference to Barthes which is blowing my late-90s rave+theory mind.

that's a dope record cover
