"Technologic"
It has dethroned "Feel Good Inc." as the best song to be featured in an iPod ad!

"Robot Rock" is an awesome, awesome, song, as is the title track. Everything else is pretty blah. I hate "Technologic"; it's freaking annoying as hell.

Yeah Human After All isn't their finest hour, but it has a few jems. It's soo tongue in cheek that I'm convinced that it's some sort of huge prank... I mean.. just listen to "Emotion."

I wasn't taht hot on the new one at first, passed it over for lots of Fischerspooner, but the more I listen to it the more I like it. It may sound funny but I find you have to drop your barriers and just let it sink into your brain without thinking about it too much.

I'm gonna take a guess and say that Elsewhere was one of the dancers in the Ad.

What's the name of the song from the iPod commercial with the kids on rollerskates? That was so catchy, yet I hated it at the same time, but the more I hear it the more I like it.
Whenever Apple introduces the new Super iPod, they should use "Better Faster Harder Stronger" because that's the best song in the world.

Yeah, pretty much all of America aside was, as electronic music hadn't gotten any sort of intentional mainstream promotion, and the web hadn't reached the popularity it has today to make it a viable tool for music outside of established genres. i started hearing Da Funk and Around the World on the one station that dared to play electronic music a year after the CD was released.pjberri said:

Homework is the only Daft Punk album I have, and that was only because of Da Funk and Around the World.
Da Funk was such an awesome video, and the song just brings me back to the 90s. I'm only 18 now and I can't remember how old I was when they were released, but Daft Punk is one of the many dance artists I didn't realise I liked until now. :lol
Gonna get me some more Daft Punk.

Discovery should be your next purchase. The first four tracks are probably the most accessible, though i ended up liking almost every track on the album, especially "Superheroes". Human After All grew on me a bit after listening to the songs a couple of times. "High Time of Your Life" is one of my favorites unnamed in this thread, along with the overly simplistic "Robot Rock".Great King Bowser said:
Is the video to "Da Funk" the one with the dogman and his boombox? If so, yeah, it's an awesome video. If not, whatever song that is has an awesome video. "Around The World" comes in at a close second for Daft Punk clips, IMO. Although, the only other Daft Punk video clip I've actually seen is that one from the album with the anime crap (Discovery?) where they're all dancing around in a spacestation or something.
Yeah, that's the one. The "dogman" was also in the "Fresh" video, which i'll have to see again, but i don't remember liking.BuG said:
"Around the World" featured dancers on stage performing various routines with a set of stairs, and "Revolution 909" starts off at a rave and includes an instructional portion on making spaghetti sauce. Awesome video.
Man Technologic is the shit, I love that monotone groove it has going. I remember as soon as I got the album I fell in love with "Only Human" and "Robot Rock" and then hated everything else because nothing sounded like "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" then I heard Technologic and I was in heaven!
Charlie the Dog, man did he rock, I wish they'd bring him back, and "Fresh" is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. There's a site that has all the old Daft Punk videos on streaming feeds but I forgot the site, it's not hard to find though.
Exactly, I didn't really like alot of the stuff on HA, but after listening to it over and over it just grew on me. I thought "Primetime of your life" was one of the worst Daft songs I ever heard, now it's like the first song I play, same for brainwasher, sadly I don't think "Television Rules the Nation" will ever grow on me.
Has their new video aired here in the US yet? I heard about a new video or something like that, but haven't seen anything.

Anyone who enjoys Daft Punk, anime, or just things that kick ass should definetly check this out:
It basically takes one of the best electronic albums ever (Discovery) and mixes it with one of the greatest artists ever (Leiji Matsumoto).
The experience is so well coreographed that it makes you wonder if Daft Punk wrote the score for a film, or if Leiji directed a music video for an entire album. Amazing stuff.

If you enjoy "Robot Rock," enjoy the original they jacked the sample from:
http://coolout.racknine.net/mp3/breakwater-release.mp3
Breakwater's track rocks harder anyways, this dude's voice is nuts.

iPod commericals have a way for ruining a good song for me. I like Daft Punk, but haven't heard the new album. I think I'll just skip the commercial and just get the CD later today instead.
robot said:
There's nothing to wonder, DP made the album with the full anime in mind. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that - at least for me - the anime makes the album more enjoyable. The CD by itself seems very touch and go to me. (Too Long really is too long. I know. Ha ha, funny! But the horse is beaten to death about 7 minutes in.)

I don't need to. It's Daft Punk.
As for the other kind of sampling... I got kicked out of Oink, so there goes that.

I didn't know Daft Punk sampled either, and I wouldn't have found out had I not heard the sample for "Robot Rock" being used by 9th Wonder for a Murs track that came out an entire year before Daft Punk's newest album. After all, it's very synthy, so I obviously assumed it was original.

I freaked out when two songs I listen to (Feel Good and Technologic) were featured in iPod ads.
Like a one-two punch.
I prefer Feel Good Inc. overall, because of how repetitive Technologic is. Neither album is really that stellar, though. I bought each as soon as Best Buy had 'em for 10 bucks.

I loved that track, and I had no idea they were sampling that much. One thing I'm wondering if anyone knows, what about "Da Funk"? That track sounded really funky and familiar, if that was 100% original they are gods. If not............they still are, but I'd love to hear anything with that groove in it.
