Daft Punk fans?Music

[Wardez]

How do you get
"when it comes to Daft Punk influencing dubstep," from,
"[Daft Punk] in part contributed to the widespread mainstream reception of things like dubstep and other more aggressive forms of electronica and remixes."?

I'm sorry for misunderstanding what you had written, but the Prodigy & The Chemical Brothers(the Chemicals you mention earlier & I also like for their variety & use of sound) did a good enough job of promoting a more aggressive form of electronica without Daft Punk.

As i said i'm sorry for misunderstanding what you'd written, but with the title Daft Punk Fans? I'll expand a bit on my first statement, they seem to be stuck in a rut. They have their gimmick and a sound that they cannot break free from, another band that suffered from the same is Jamiroquai. The Chemical Brothers on the other hand evolved with each album but still maintained a certain flavour that told you you were listening to one of their tunes.

I'd say they're all equally responsible for promoting electronic music in general within the public. You know, the whole DJs as celebrities and artists in their own right kind of thing. The helmets definitely helped in that case, call it a gimmick if you will but it's very effective branding.

As for their sound, I disagree, each of their albums are markedly different, for example Homework is quite varied with easy to get into tracks like Da Funk and Around the World, while you have slower burning tracks like Rollin' and Scratchin'. Discovery is a more cohesive album in the sense all the tracks have a disco+synthpop groove running through them, it's lighter sounding and there's more of a emphasis on making it sound less overtly electronic. Human After All sounds a lot rougher, it has a lot in common with garage rock in its production; the synths and beats are all very immediate and in your face. It's more riff based too.

From the one track we've heard it seems that DP are going back to the disco sound in Discovery, which is understandable considering in the time between their last album and now we've had a trend of more gritty electronica with acts like Justice, Danger, and Digitalism, there's also not-really-Dubstep too. Everything got noisier and dirtier, I think what DP will be trying to do is balance that out a bit with their new album.

I actually can't wait to see what Giorgio Moroder has done/influenced them

Edit:
HD quality

 

[mr_geez]

First time ever I pre-ordered an album. Can't wait for the release and subsequent world tour.

 

[Dooblewasur]

über excited but EDIT: what am I talking about? Nevermind.
I thought Pharrell was saying "We're up all night to get stoned," which would have been lame.

 

[terminator363]

I'm curious how many tracks they will have in the album.

uhhh...

uhhh...

Jesus! How could I have missed that

 

[Omnis]

Seems like all this electro is really just bad disco. Glad DPunk went to the source. Probably could've done better than Pharrell though.

 

[Pupik]

But going and standing in a field to listen to a recording? You can better appreciate the music in a quiet room with a pair of headphones.

Disagreed with the other statements (marginalize a genre by its stereotypes, and you wind up listening to nothing), but I'd agree that the outdoors are usually not the best venues for electronic acts. From my nontechnical experience, the lows and highs are so overblown and megablasted that any finer middles and enjoyable nuances are generally lost.

There are some artists that improvise a live set very creatively and organically, but having not heard Daft Punk live, I couldn't say for sure by a few YouTube clips.

So how many times have you guys listened to the new SNL Ad? So far 88 times for me.

 

[gnorty]

I think it's highly likely that Daft Punk will actually perform on SNL, since they are using SNL to promote their album.

 

[gtuned]

dem new clips.

Also: http://clients.allaccess.com/mail/D/daft-punk/daft-punk-snl-h.html
Supposedly sent out by Columbia. (how you could fake something from allaccess is beyond me)

 

[mr_geez]

Probably could've done better than Pharrell though.

The pace of the song is perfect for front man Pharrell, who, like Michael Jackson before him, excels when he's moving side to side, one hand in his pocket, instead of nodding forward and backward.

 

[terminator363]

Pharrell Williams seemed to be experiencing the side effects of that pill Daft Punk gave him in that interview.

 

[Dooblewasur]

Pharrell sounds like a complete moron.

EDIT: someone leaked the album...or, uhh, Levels by Avicii
Got seize-ed by the gov. http://daftpunk.tk/

Can you explain? I don't get what "Levels" has to do with Daft Punk.

Apparently this joker leaked 13 versions of Levels in an attempt to pass them off as his own

My avatar bugs me.

The wait is unbearable!

 

[terminator363]

I want to hear "Giorgio by Moroder" so bad

 

[nissman]

I like Daft Punk very much. Whenever we have a party or something we always listen to them.

 

[gtuned]

Radio Edit has leaked, listen to it here. http://pmd.sonic1029.com/audio/downloads/rick_lee/daftpunk_getlucky.mp3
Still 2 minutes missing from the full version, but daaaaamn, it's good.

They just extended the commercials. Not real. This is though:


Edit: Now there is speculation. It might just be a good mix containing another (different) segment of the song not released yet. No conformation of anything though.

I'm not putting out any opinions; yet.

 

[Omnis]

New song is awesome. Confirms the fact that modern songwriting is awful though. 3 lines, then a chorus repeated as nauseum. There's a lot of little nuanced things on this track. I don't think it's the final one though. The electro is way too subtle. It's pure disco.

Don't expect a whole lot of electronic elements on this album. Daft Punk themselves said that they sought inspiration in albums like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" etc., so it'll probably sound like something out of the 80'ies. They also said that they mostly used real instruments. Only using drum machines in two tracks and a single sample in the last track on the album.

That said, I hope that supposed leak isn't real. Just sounds too simple and, well, boring.
