Actual techno Daft Punk > disco Daft Punk

[tragabigzanda]

this record lifting me up this afternoon

[tragabigzanda]

the drum solo in Giorgio By Moroder brings me to magical places

[dimejinky99]

Oh no

[Ello Sailor]

Well that sucks.

[tragabigzanda]

there were ample reports that a new album was nearly complete. I'm half wondering if this isn't a publicity stunt and then they'll surprise drop the album

RAM is a desert island album for me.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Here's the video of the announcement

[dimejinky99]

Maybe if we try turning them off and turning them back on again?

Genius move if they don't want to tour/promote it.

[tragabigzanda]

Also “Resurrection” just sounds like a Daft Punk album

[psychobain]

OMT was overplayed, but fuck, its so fuckin good

i love Discovery

[tragabigzanda]

Yeah I love Discovery too. If all I had was Discovery and RAM, I'd still consider them one of my all-time favorite bands.

HasItLeaked is a pretty reputable source for insider music news, and today they posted that the work-in-progress album has been shelved, and that planned Deluxe reissues of the main albums (excluding Tron) are on hold as well. WTF.

I can only read this as disrespect for 'Homework'.

Unacceptable.

I've always liked it, but just feel like Discovery improves on the formula

[Ello Sailor]

Yeah but Homework is still a classic, especially during that era of electronic music. A total spearhead.

I get that, but it wasn't my experience. I didn't really get into Daft Punk until HAA, and I wasn't listening to much electronic music in the late 90s (a little bit, but it was all Ninja Tune/MoWax/Warp Records, and I tended towards downtempo big beat stuff). Connecting with the album later was a bit of a challenge, and Discovery went down much smoother.

I should spin Homework again, it's been a while. I'll do it soon.

i prefer discovery, but HW is badass
ill spin it

[Ello Sailor]

Discovery shits all over Homework.

I stand by what I said in that it's underrated, but you guys know what's up.
