Essentially they're as dull as dishwater and only marginally above Timbaland in the 'song construction using others work' stakes. Sampling is a creative artform - not merely regurgitative - haven't seen anyone drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa and floggin that. A sidechained to buggery drugfree disco nightmare featuring the most unoriginal and endemic use of vocoders since Dudley, Carlos & Moog decided, after about 10 minutes in 1928 and a few albums in the '70's respectively, that it sounded like shyte and promptly moved on. Oh and they've just done a track/video collaboration with Kanye West that rips Akira. Absolutely unforgivable on both counts :wink:
They may have the best light show I have ever seen tho

I'll certainly give them that much. I think thats the advantage to having the kind of funding they do and charging up to $200 for a fucking ticket will give you one hell of a visual treat. Also the fact that its in concert format rather than rave or party gives it the advantage to rig up a whole stage and whatnot. The helmets are very impressive as well, I heard they're covered in LED's displaying various images.
theyre suits are the normal ones they wear (like in photos and in the gap advert) then they go off for a few minutes, come back on for an encore, and just as were getting into thomas b and dj falcons - together this happens....

then stardust - music sounds better with you and one more time comes in :D

Have you ever seen Electroma? Trust me its the most accessible, pop, commercial, uninspiring hollywood film I've ever seen.

shouldnt be. that's like trying to convince someone that trance the past few years hasnt been cookie-cutter.

if i have to spend hours on beatport or audiojelly just to find a few gems, the state of trance is hardly something to be respected. that's why im playing and producing mostly deep tech and dubby tech-house lately...so much amazing music being produced right now that's not trance its hard to ignore.

Anyone else listen to this? Good work, has a lot of potential. Did you use any DP samples to make it? I'd really like to hear it developed, you can barely get into the groove in just :14

Thats the point, just set it on loop! :D

The big prize goes to whoever can ID the sample, it is an entire phrase with some gating and filtering applied - just like DP would. It is not a sample used by DP.

so does the song "money money" and i'll be damned if that isn't one of the worst songs constantly performed.

i concur, daft punk is the diet coke of electronic music.

some people enjoy things that are close to what they like but are full of weird additives and actualy taste like vomit.

Around the world

Post by AlexT » Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:54 pm

When i was 22 i went to a club and everybody
danced the polonaise to "Around the world".
I had my hand on a 16 year old girl's shoulders.
Later I had them on her breasts. And even later...

I really liked Daft Punk since then.

I like DP for similar reasons since then... (and even later...)
