I heard they'd thrown their synthesisers away and bought some garden furniture.

Daft Punk love is the thing about ILM i that baffles me most.

According to Res magazine, they have just designed a TABLE...

Daft Punk love is the thing about ILM that I cherish the most.

I love me da Daft Punk, it's the Basement Jaxx I don't get = /

They're now sucking quietly, instead of the in-your-face-on-every-airwave suckage of a year or two ago.

I like it better now.

Oh no haters!

it was a nice dream. all was well with the world. all wrongs were righted. and thee was no more daft punk.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 09:11 (twenty years ago) link

Ah, I see, go out at the top, that's what you're saying?

there was some ep i downloaded offa soulseek a little while ago, "on da dancefloor," anyone know if this is legit?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:09 (twenty years ago) link

also boo to the haters

apparently it's not them slutsky, it's not too shabby tho

I love me da Daft Punk, it's the Basement Jaxx I don't get = /

Not even something like "Red Alert"??

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 20:06 (twenty years ago) link

it amazes me how little of ilm is rabid psychotic daft punk fanism.

(a) patrick alavi of work it baby records releases records online and labels them daft punk. some are ok, none are legit.

(b) bangalter fucked up his ears hence the delay.

YOU TELL EM!!!

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sick of this 'hater' bullshit.

I think they make boring music, and I think I'm entitled to say so on this forum. Do I have to like every single band in every single genre that ever existed to not be a 'hater'?

I don't give a fuck if you don't like the music I like; I'm not going to say "OMG haters!" if you say Coil or the Fall suck on one of the threads dealing with those groups.

P.S. Bassmet Jaxx suck as well. *Especially* something like 'Red Alert'.

― Sasha (sgh), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:23 (twenty years ago) link

It's just the rules. You have to like Daft Punk. We say so.

― Dan I., Wednesday, 18 August 2004 03:32 (twenty years ago) link

Do not feed the haters.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 04:44 (twenty years ago) link

I think they make boring music, and I think I'm entitled to say so on this forum.

haha we think you're a boring hater, and we think we're entitled to say so on this forum.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 04:48 (twenty years ago) link

it's in the faq that if you don't like daft punk you....eh.......I better not say.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:17 (twenty years ago) link

wow, you're right.

Can I hate on Daft Punk on ILX?

Here on ILX, only Lil Jon is more unassailable than Daft Punk and all haters who attempt to board will be repelled. A second offense will result in computer viruses sent to your IP address. Embrace the digital love or leave.

― Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:35 (twenty years ago) link

I think we should add Basement Jaxx and late 90s timbaland.

― djdee2005, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:38 (twenty years ago) link

Other than the Daft Punk and the Basement Jaxx thing, it is kind of nice round here. Has ILX decided that the last DP album was actually any good in some kind of mass oversight?

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 07:24 (twenty years ago) link

what are you saying

― pete b. (pete b.), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 07:33 (twenty years ago) link

That it sucked.

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 07:43 (twenty years ago) link

i don't get it

― pete b. (pete b.), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 07:46 (twenty years ago) link

it's over-rated, I like it more than ever tho. Basement Jaxx are my favourite thing of all time.

In answer to Barima's question, no no figurines yet :(

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 08:42 (twenty years ago) link

daft punk >> basement jaxx > drugs, food, bumping uglies, etc

the proof is in comparing the singles tracks and essential mixes and ignoring album vs album matchups.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:29 (twenty years ago) link

no i think Basement Jaxx have better single tracks and essential mixes too

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:31 (twenty years ago) link

heh, well OK, not entirely - several tracks on Homework I might prefer to anything by Jaxx (Da Funk, Fresh, Burnin', Alive)...

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:33 (twenty years ago) link

really?? hm. i thought the daft punk EM was like the holy grail of french/chicago house. it's the one disc (two discs, actually!) that's consistenly been in my CD wallet since i got it (well over a year, i think). maybe it's a, uh, london thing or something.

xpost - hey exactly, don't forget "around the world" and "one more time"

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:34 (twenty years ago) link

yeh i love those DP EMs but the Jaxx ones I've listened to just as much. I'd call it a high-scoring draw.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:40 (twenty years ago) link

i'd love to be able to forget the annoying vocodered vocals on 'one more time' i really would. same goes for the awful vocodered vocals on one of basement jaxx's singles too. i'm sure in time i will. quite simply two of the most overated acts in recent times. still, i'd rather listen to both of them than oasis or manic street bloody preachers.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 09:57 (twenty years ago) link

outside ilx they are hardly 'overrated' at all. 'discovery' was generally hated on for its alleged retro irony. the jaxx have never really broken through either, especially not the current album.

― ENRQ, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 10:01 (twenty years ago) link

broken through what exactly? these two acts have merged the art of electronic dance music with pop fun better and more imaginatively than anyone else ever did or probably will.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 10:08 (twenty years ago) link

yeah that's why "one more time" and "around the world" are still reliably killing dancefloors in house/techno-shy california.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 10:12 (twenty years ago) link

anyway when something is both annoying and unforgettable it usually means the problem is you. like when you can't get that girl "you can't stand" out of your head. just give in and feel the love, dude.

not very funny and mostly sad to read my obnoxious pro daft punk ranting of 12 years ago

daft punk are so awful now and represent so much awful culture now in my mind, it's hard to believe

sorry to be all "old man yells at clouds.jpg" but there you go

still, i think i will always have time for solo bangalter and crydamoure productions of the 90s

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

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.

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

Yeah, Boombass from Cassius has denied any knowledge xps

― groovypanda, Thursday, 6 February 2020 20:28 (four years ago) link

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?

― veronica moser, Friday, 7 February 2020 23:38 (four years ago) link

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.

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.

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.

― groovypanda, Wednesday, 25 January 2023 11:30 (one year ago) link

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

― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 26 January 2023 03:33 (one year ago) link
