not that half the LCD album isn't just alt-rock by any other name anyway, I'd rather listen to Screamadelica any fucking day of the week.

And the stupendous laugh your ass off part about all this is that Tim Goldsworthy was in Unkle!! If they weren't the food laden drain off in the gigantic washing up basket of early 90s British baggy indie then I don't know what was!

I was not in an American world at that time.

not exclusively...

We have baseball and Van Halen, we don't need you

Aw, Daft Punk aren't *really* "human after all", surely they're just going through a Data-like period of emotion chipitude or something!

TEH EXCITEMENT

im a bit afraid theyll come out of it playing covers of beach boys songs.

I shed a tear of joy when I heard the news, seriously. Finally, I can say there's an album coming out in 2005 that I'm actually looking forward to hearing.

"And the stupendous laugh your ass off part about all this is that Tim Goldsworthy was in Unkle!! If they weren't the food laden drain off in the gigantic washing up basket of early 90s British baggy indie then I don't know what was!"

Goldworthy left Unkle even before they produced their first album and was almost singlehandedly responsible for their best stuff.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 26 December 2004 00:17 (nineteen years ago) link

anyway Tim Goldworthy isn't in LCD Soundsytem.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 26 December 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

... and i cant find ANY reference to Primal Scream in that LCD Interview.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 26 December 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Someone's on the ball!

homework = 1997
discovery = 2001
new one = 2005?

Why are you people worried about the sound of this record? Of course there's gonna be vocoders and robotic beats and shit! One of the songs is called "Robot Rock"!

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Sunday, 26 December 2004 15:36 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a modified cover of Sade's "Lover's Rock", though.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 26 December 2004 15:41 (nineteen years ago) link

no, superpitcher's!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 26 December 2004 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i really love vocoders.

― Crapstone (Crapstone), Sunday, 26 December 2004 21:47 (nineteen years ago) link

how long be4 the download? what, days or weeks do we think?

god i've missed them, and a real pining is kicking in about now.

― piscesboy, Sunday, 26 December 2004 23:04 (nineteen years ago) link

gahhhhhh!!! i can't wait any longer!!!

i keep typing HUMAN AFTER ALL into slsk and up comes an old Level 42 album.

salt, wounds etc.

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 4 January 2005 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

that's actually it. they're using the slap bass more. half fo Alan Braxe's productions sound like 'Running In The Family' anyway so the guys just went the whole hog.

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 20:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, that sounds exactly like Sebastien Tellier's last album (which is awesome).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 21:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Specifically "Wonderafrica" which is wild.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 4 January 2005 21:41 (nineteen years ago) link

The promo single has been leaked. It's also called "Human After All." It's pretty great. Cowbells and very thick + buzzy analogue synths.

― Matt Boch (Matt Boch), Friday, 7 January 2005 20:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I've heard that and I suspect it's fake. There's no tune at all. I sort of like it, but I can't imagine it being a single - more like bonus beats.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:23 (nineteen years ago) link

yeh yeh. it's fake. i have pie all over my face... and i thought the scarlet fever rash was enough.

― Matt Boch (Matt Boch), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Matt, I do suspect that it is actually Daft Punk who made it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Hang on - I thought the file Matt mistook for it was actually Alter Ego's 'Rocker'?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:29 (nineteen years ago) link

it is! I just downloaded Alter Ego's "Transphormer" and Rocker it is. Quite good.

― Matt Boch (Matt Boch), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i think spencer means that daft punk enjoy "rocker" and are trying to popularize it?? i'm sort of wary of conclusions like that but it's nice to pretend that your favorite artists enjoy the same things you do.

OTOH their franz ferdinand remix strongly suggests they've been keeping up with tracks like "rocker"

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh no, I thought it was they who made the spoof track. I stand corrected too!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:36 (nineteen years ago) link

So anyway, last week I bought "Skitzo Dancer", the latest single from Parisian band Scenario Rock. Best track is the remix by Justice which, wait for it, is credited with sound polishing by Thomas Bangalter for B.A.S.S.. So that's something, whatever it is.

― JoB (JoB), Friday, 7 January 2005 22:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i think b.a.s.s. is the name of hubert "boom bass" blanc-francard's mastering studio? he's the guy who's in cassius with phillipe zdar.

i say this because there's a sticker that reads "b.a.s.s." on the back of the motorbass album and i once tracked down the meanings of all those stickers and some were from different clubnights in paris and some were from studios/crews involved in the album.

sorry this is a bit trainspottery but this sort of thing fascinates me, can anybody corroborate my spotty (haha) data?

That has to be one of the most pointless "best of" collections ever. Even beating Leftfield's recent effort.

If you're gonna get two discs, er... Homework & Discovery at mid-price maybe?

― file under cozy techno (fandango), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Customers who bought Musique Vol. 1: 1993-2005 (With Bonus DVD) also bought

Daft Punk - Alive 1997
Various - Ultimate Chillout Classics Album (6CD)
Daft Punk - Daft Club
Sepultura - Roots
Headman - On

What's that Parliament remix?

― Le Baaderonixx de Benedict Canyon (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

its the one with the video that has a cgi Bootsy Collins flying around in disco hyperspace and stuff. at least five years old

― Yawn (Wintermute), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 15:12 (eighteen years ago) link

The "point", probably, is to leave Virgin EMI...

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Is the bonus DVD all of the videos? That might make it worth it....

― Joseph B. Cowart (flamingrev), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 16:31 (eighteen years ago) link

It isn't, and their two DVDs put together cost less than a new CD already (no jabbering baby robot heads, though)

You know, lots of people have complained about the last Daft Punk album ... from James Murphy on Pitchfork down to the many, many ILMers and bloggers ... but in retrospect, short as it may be at this point, hasn't a lot of the other shit people are psyched on been derived from that output OR nearly the same?

Alter Ego - Rocker (remember when this leaked as "Human After All"?)
Justice
Digitalism
a ton of other guitar driven electro shit.

p.s. "Stream Machine" was like the sickest fucking Suicide rip-off ever. Not that all of "Human After All" was solid, but it wasn't bad! There were some really solid tracks ...

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

ugh i hate all that farty justice stuff, really does not do it for me, just like this album

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 21:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't forget Busta!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Leaving Virgin or not, no "Digital Love" on a DP greatest hits collection ain't a DP greatest hits collection.

― Yoo Doo Nut (donut), Thursday, 23 March 2006 06:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Too right.

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 23 March 2006 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

The show at Coachella was easily the best concert I have *ever* seen. The lights, my god, the lights. It was like a constantly shifting star gate sequence from 2001 crossed with Tron, all perfectly choreographed to the most amazing mash up of all their hits with really intense edits and pacing. They appear as robots on the screens, and they seem to be talking to each other, but can they really hear each other? Did they just push one button? Are they using Ableton? Who knows. Who cares? Just amazing.
