Thomas Bangalter does a soundtrack, anyone got it? (Also talk about "Together")

So is the soundtrack worth shelling out for?

And what about the DJ Falcon collaboration, working under the name Together. The thought of seeing them DJ at Tribal Gathering puts a massive smile on my face.

Haven't heard the soundtrack. But if I recall well, the Bangalter/Falcon track is called "Together", not the collaboration name. Definitely a track you need to hear in a club environment, the repetitiveness makes the track almost unlistenable "at home".

Nah the Tribal Gathering Ads refer to them as Together too, and as far as I know that's what Muzik or something called it too.

had a flick through the bangalter soundtrack album in hmv, sounded pretty good. makes the 'scarface' references in ver punk's 'superheroes' more explicit. the together track 'so much love to give', i think i said on another thread, is so repetitive it makes the 'together' together (told you it was repetitive, are you still with me?) sound like 'bohemian rhapsody'. in the right frame of mind it's the aural equivalent to poppers at 1am, in the wrong frame of mind, like siegbren said, it just sounds like they're taking the piss.

this is cool, cos I've heard about 3 tracks which aren't repetetive, sound french, and are absolutely fantastic, and they're now obviously something else.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 September 2002 11:22 (twenty-three years ago)

siegbr*A*n, sorry.

'SO Much Love To Give' appears to have been made just so you could mix it perfectly and beautifully into 'I Would Die 4 U'

The soundtrack is for Gaspar Noé's Irréversible. I have the CD, I've not been keen on seeing the film, which apparently is quite gruesome (long rape scene, beating a man to a pulp). A track called Night Beats is reminiscent of Homewerk. Best is Paris By Night, a mournful / tense / melancholic track with a heavy, gritty, but simple synth melody running through it. Another good thing is the inclusion of several Bangalter tracks not previously available on CD, from his Roulé 12"-es. And a nice bit of Beethoven.

I used to listen to "Together" all the time (I've never even heard it in a club). It's especially good for headphones while working, and for driving.

I've had this one for awhile (most requested download from my HD on soulseek...by far)
Anyway good album. My favourite track: Outrage. Bit like 'Alive' but faster and harder. Great track.

Eh am I some kind of repetition loving lunatic?

I had heard both Together and So Much Love To Give in clubs only and loved them, but I always need to hear stuff at home to really really love it. They are both great tracks, So Much Love To Give is the warmest most mind blowing thing I've heard since Cosmos, absolutely no doubt in my mind that music can't get much more beautiful than this, the repetition is just necessary, to make you think of a million different meanings for the phrase "I Got So Much Love To Give". I mean I see how ten minutes is a little excessive but a 4 a clock in the morning track? I don't know, I think I have non clubbing friends that are going to love love love this every bit as much as I do. I mean listen to it! Go out into the world and smile! This is the acceptable face of total shimmering positivity!

(the bassline reminds me of "Learnin' To Fly" by Tom Petty!)

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 18 November 2002 22:42 (twenty-three years ago)

God this is mindblowing, I need to write something about this, I really do, but so personal!!!!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 18 November 2002 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

heard both "together" and "so much love to give" played by emerson/deluxe/yousef(?) while in a very messy state on friday night @ circus. would like to revise my opinion to :-0 !!!!!

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 09:56 (twenty-three years ago)

an ace remix of justin's "like i love you" also went down well.

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 09:57 (twenty-three years ago)

That'll be the Basement Jaxx remix. I've yet to hear this.

― JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 12:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Michael how was Tim, I hear he's very good. Actually was Emerson sober and mixing? Last time in Dublin he was neither. Still a bit of fun though.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 November 2002 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

ronan, i'd love to report on the set but i was ridiculously messy, losing my friends for two hours without realising and falling flat on my arse while dancing. what i can tell you was that the last hour was amazing: "so much love to give", "together", "like i love you", "i feel love", "blue monday", "can you feel it", "insatiable". party time, it was, oh yes.

I still think this is an amazing record.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 4 January 2003 21:49 (twenty-three years ago)

something it took me a while to remember in order to mention is how the intro to 'so much love to give' minus the vocal really reminds me of 80s video game 'enter your name on the hi-score board' kinda music...this is because i've been playing a lot of classic arcade games lately via the gift of MAME emulation software. anyway, this is a good thing obviously, and you do get a lot of that in Bangalter's stuff from old Roule stuff (he did a track called 'Outrun' and i like to think its named after the 'classic' Sega driving game of 1986 or thereabouts) to stuff like 'Superheroes'

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 4 January 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

The bassline as I said above reminds me of "Learning To Fly" by Tom Petty!!!!!!

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 4 January 2003 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

well, in whatever sense you can call it a bassline

mebbe everyone knows this already, but...

saw a bit of the movie Pleasantville on tv recently. in one scene, j.t. walsh is speaking in a bowling alley to the men of the town and says "it's time to make a decision. are we in this thing alone, or are we in it together?" naturally i started in: "togethertogethertogether..."

Listening to the Irreversible soundtrack now and getting a BIG Goblin vibe! Awesome.

― original bgm, Friday, 18 March 2005 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

driving to work this morning in my stereo-free car, i was humming "together" and i thought, hmm, this bass "riff" suddenly reminds of something. it's a tv show them, i think. but which one? oh shit! 9021FUCKING-0!

i may have ruined it for everyone now.

Is it possible to quantify just HOW shit the Freeloaders scouse house version of SMLTG is?

"Together" mixed with "One More Time" and "Music Sounds Better with You" on Daft Punk's Alive tour/album is basically the greatest thing ever.

Been vibsing HARD on 'Together' recently.

And Outrage from the Irreversible OST is the most horrible sounding record ever. In a good way.
