Oh wow I totally forgot about Human After All. I guess I found it pretty unremarkable compared to what I was listening to at the time (I was probably catching up on a lot of D&B). In the same way that Homework only did it for me with the radio singles, it was fine. Technologic gave us Touch It by Busta Rhymes, which is a big guilty pleasure for me. Shoutout to the TRON Legacy soundtrack though. Right place, right time for the band and they didn't waste that opportunity. The 303 version of the the main theme that played over the credits is epic as gently caress. Also easily the best IMAX 3D experience I've ever had, in no small part due to that soundtrack.

 I saw it in IMAX 3D at midnight the night it came out and it was pure bliss. The soundtrack contributed a whole lot to that wonderful experience. Also I just finished re-listening to RAM, and I gotta say, if they had to break up, Contact is one hell of a last song to go out on  Every time I listen to it, it just floors me.

Seated in the theatre's sweet spot, too. My legs were still shaking for like ten minutes after we left the theatre, it was such a sensory overload. Great pinball table, too.

Really cannot possibly begin to guess how many icy mornings I spent waiting for the school bus blasting Daft Punk in my headphones. It was early enough that the moon was still out and you could see your breath and I just didn't care because the fancy french boys were just moving my body in a way nothing else did. Just absolute legends and I'm really hard pressed think of anyone besides, like, Georgio himself who has had a bigger influence on the influencers of today.

My college buds and I would always trip on New Year's Day, and one year "Daft Punk syncs up to the Rose Bowl" was said. On acid, Daft Punk DEFINITELY synced up to the Rose Bowl. That's my Daft Punk story.

Also, despite my (probably) terrible taste in music, here are a couple of Daft Punk remixes I've enjoyed. Both are from when trap edm was becoming a thing, and the snaps and what's were hot.

Like another poster above I was more into the breakbeat and darker sounds of the time but I listened to discovery a fair bit. Also love the tron soundtrack. I kinda think it’s time, electronic acts rarely stay together for as long as they did and if they do they just seem to tour playing their greatest hits

RIP 💔 I got into Daft Punk in a big way in 2001. I went down to Miami for some U2 concerts over spring break and ended up going to some parties for Winter Music Conference. They had just released Discovery a few weeks prior and it was the biggest thing, all that next year or so it was almost impossible to go to a club or rave without hearing One More Time or Harder Better. So glad I got a chance to see them both at Coachella and again in Seattle on the Alive tour. Those were two shows I'll never forget. MMD3 fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Feb 24, 2021 |

Not much to say. As a stupid idiot I got into them in like 2008 which... RIP to any chance of seeing them live. Discovery quickly became one of my most spun albums upon... discovery along with Homework as I would get high as gently caress and grind Flysis/AirRivals. My late brother and I had standing plans to do whatever it took to get to their next set of shows (everyone did, lol) The plan is to listen to the studio albums one more time in order of preference (fwiw, worst to best, Human After All - Random Access Memories - Homework - Discovery) before finishing with Alive '07 and putting the albums away for a good long while.

Still not over the loss of Daft Punk They were the gateway drug that got me into several artists, among them Justice, Danger, SebastiAn, Kavinsky, Boys Noize, The Glitch Mob, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWaWsgBbFsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr-iawLvNr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFBmKAR07U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX9Yk_B3cwY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwzRLgJorYQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN_MSyrq6-U

This is extremely dumb but im watching my brother get super into Daft Punk and making mashups of their music and the line that keeps sticking out is “Our work is never over” and that’s true, the work they did for electronic music opened the door for generations and it’s not over yet and even if they aren’t doing it together the work is going on and the doors are still wide open and new geniuses are pirating production software every day and following their dreams. Anyways just a 32 year old man ugly crying over French robots, carry on

Rageaholic posted:So why didn't people like Human After All when it came out? It's not a perfect album like Discovery is IMO, but it's an awesome hybrid of the Discovery era and the Homework era. People came around on it after Alive 2007, but when it first came out, why weren't people digging it? at the time the consensus was that it was sloppy, not well thought out, and generally lazy, a belief heavily sustained by Bangalter saying that they made the whole thing, start to finish, in two weeks (or some poo poo I'm not looking it up) Anyway just came in here to say drat sucks that its over. I kind of felt like it was coming for a while - they'd been slowing down for a long time and every interview they seemed more cynical and dismissive than the last - but they were probably the last band left that I had any romantic notions about. Discovery was my very first album and I picked up Alive 1997 and Homework really soon after. A conversation I had with my brother sometime a few years later about "Nightvision" is probably the most important learning experience I ever had about music.

That mix always takes me back to simpler times. Cheers for the reminder.

This album got into my veins like no other. I was upset that I missed it on vinyl because I try and grab everything I absolutely love on vinyl because im a big dumb nerd. The price for that thing was in the hundreds. Friend of mine somehow found it (Original pressing, not the rerelease) at cost a few years back and got it for my birthday. You have no idea how much I freaked out over getting that.

Good. He deserves to. I won't lie, some of the most fun I've ever had at shows has been at Bassnectar shows. But his actions are just completely indefensible and gross. I haven't listened to his music since I first heard about the allegations and I don't plan on listening to it in the future.

Yeah, good riddance to another creep. Wooks on parade defending his rear end on social media, though.

I’m also one of those wooks whose had some of the absolute best nights of my life as Bassnectar shows, but I heard the very first peep about him being cancelled a few years ago and just absolutely bailed on the entire scene and never looked back, nor did I look into it because I didn’t want to know. It sucks because the community is a really amazing thing, but it’s also inarguably a way for people to take advantage of young kids on drugs, and if you don’t hardcore police that poo poo it destroys every local scene. Oh yeah, I remember now, I think it was like Bassnectar, Gaslamp Killer, and... Darwin? One of the big Canadian brostep guys I was super into all got cancelled in the same week and I was done. I was also close friends with a woman whom Pretty Lights would constantly text and invite to fly out to whatever city she wanted and I was stricken by how often it happened.

Rageaholic posted:Good. He deserves to. Hell, same. I'm one of those weirdos that prefers physical media over streaming, and all my Bassnectar discs were at the very front of the cd wallet in my car. There were times I'd listen to Vava Voom or NVSB while driving and I'd go through them front to back, like four times in a row over the course of a number of days. I haven't touched them in months. I made a comment on Reddit (I know) about how none of what he did is defensible and if he does down the line decide to come back, the community should not in any circumstance support that action, and got extremely downvoted. He put on one gently caress of a live show, and I have some memories that I'll never forget. Probably the best of which is from Electric Forest 2015, one of my closest friends was kind of gloomy as we're standing around pre-show, so I gave him a drug-fueled passionate pep-talk about looking at all the wonderful people out here wearing their favorite outfits, playing with their favorite shiny and flashy and glowy poo poo, and they're all here to have a drat good time! He gave me a hug and from what I could tell, had a drat good time! What really locked in the memory was the next morning at camp he said to me "Thanks for last night man, I was able to not think about anything and enjoy the show. I needed that." I'll keep those parts, but if you want to greenlight his actions as a person, go gently caress yourself.

Yeah, it was Datsik, AKA The Most Punchable Face In EDM. He released a couple of incredibly wack-rear end statements in response to allegations, and I think tried to return to the scene last year. He's also one half of Ephwurd. Nothing good has ever come out of Kelowna, British Columbia.
