listening now, only just into first track, hoping it builds up to something better
edit: finding myself getting bored and skipping, so far, I hate to say that Get Lucky might be the standout track. Now glad I haven’t ordered the vinyl
Can’t say Daft Punk have ever even come anywhere close to living up to the hype for me.
And as for Get Lucky – jeez, it’s just a very weak 20 second vocal, lame disco beat and cliched format repeated over and over to fill the allocated time slot on Radio 1 – unfortunately Radio 2 seem to be playing it too – heard it described as the perfect pop record – MEH!
It’s very Daft Punk, but as someone who loved Homework, liked Disccovery and was indifferent about Human, I’m hoping that the album is the first part of a double offering, the second being called Real Original Music, or summink, because his album has none!
Ahem, stumbled across a download of the whole album, so giving it another go…
Up to track 6 and really can’t be bothered with it anymore. Just seems to be an exercise in how bland can electronic music be.
I’m not inpressed either. Much of it sounds like a movie soundtrack album. The slightly better songs sound like bad Scissor Sisters. Get lucky is by far the stand-out
Ok, so Giorgio Moroder is a legend of electronic music… but to listen to him talking for over 2 minutes.. just doesn’t stand up to repeated listenings!
My name is giovanni gorgio but people just call me gorgio…..
I love this track! There are a few duds on the album but there’s also a few touches of the daft punk brilliance, unfortunately not as many as I would like. Discovery was the pinnacle it seems but they’re only in their 30s so time may bring us some more brilliance.
It’s just a crock of self-indulgent nostalgia. We know their influences already, there isn’t any reason why they should invite them all into the recording studio to make a Jamiroquai tribute album!
