CD - $9.99
VINYL - $33.99
I know vinyl's not as popular, but come on.
Man, I think that's about what it cost me to get the limited release of Kavinsky's LP (not including shipping to "Australie" from France). It is quite rich.
Not agreeing on the song choices but I see your point. I guess Im more annoyed with how incredibly perfect Axis would be with a cheesy love PSB lyric.
Possibly, but I think that after their last album (which I haven't listened to, but was apparently over-ballady and a bit mushy) they wanted to turn it up a bit. Lu Cont (according to someone or other) said that he was inspired by that 12-inch remixes LP they put out in the 80s.
No problemo! The more people that know about it, the better
I find it ironic how DP makes an album with "real" lyrics while Pet shop throws out a single with a bunch of words that could have been a DP lyric. But the music is still so PSB, thankfully.
Yeah, I think they went in completely different directions which is quite odd. But thankfully, both are significantly different and an improvement over what's popular and being played in (most) clubs at the moment. Hopefully they'll inspire people to make tracks that aren't chockers full of "massive drops" and inelegant, rough-sounding synth lines.
DJ actually spinning vinyl records at a club is rare now as mostly it's just plugging in the MacBook and hit play
I think it could be a fan collector thing
Pretty much. I'm starting to buy stuff as something to have a keepsake of, as well as for when I finally get myself (read: borrow from a mate who has far too many) a 1200mk2 so I can just do
this sort of thing when the mood takes me.
I tend to flick between music a lot and as a result, my CD collection is in complete disarray. But that's harder to accomplish with vinyl, so I guess it kind of fills that purpose.
That's the best part of this, despite it's almost completely different sound. It still feels like DP. That's why I LOVE IT SO MUCH. At first, I picked out just a few of my favorites to listen to (which was still about half the album, which is almost unheard of for me), now I'm down to listening to the whole album each time.
My biggest problem is that, to me, it doesn't feel like Daft Punk. It feels like a dance music act that have created a live album, but there's nothing that strikes me as having any specific feel... which is a massive shame. I think they could've crapped out anything and as long as it had that vibe, I would've been satisfied. But as it is, they've done what is create something that's exceptional quality (despite me not really digging it, I can still see where most people are coming from) but doesn't sound like them.
I mean, even if you look at acts like The Prodigy and what they're doing now, it's drastically different from what they had on Experience, but you can still hear it's them. Can't think of any other groups in a similar situation (maybe PSB?) but I really struggle to find anything that screams to me "This is Daft Punk and we're making a live album".
