So I have never been the biggest Daft Punk fan. I like some of their music and fully understand why it's influential and all that, I just feel like their output ain't that great. I went to their live tour in 2006? it was pretty cool and yeh i got heaps bent and watched the pretty light show. BUT, i don't think it was the life changing experience that everyone was claiming it to be. The sound was bad, the whole day was ramshackled, remember the ticket/dance floor access business so EVERYONE arrived early to wait in line for hours? Anyway that's not Daft Punks fault.
So the news of their new album comes out and the whole musical world goes apeshit. It's definitely has some nice moments. There is a rad list of guests like Pharrell, Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder and Panda Bear. The production is smooth and it IS a good album. But there was allot of hype and i feel maybe more then deserved.
So now we get some news that excites me a lot more than the original release. Daftside (Darkside) which is Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington have remixed the whole album and uploaded it on the Interwebs. I listened to this in one hit and it is soooo dope. i would really like to get a download of it, even though I'm sure the low Bit rips will come in time. So kick back with a beer and some good headphones and have a listen.
