Daft Punk - Robot Rock

radiospan

Here's a video I found, recorded yesterday, of Daft Punk playing their new single "Robot Rock" at some exclusive party they had for it.

The single is out on March 14, including a remix by Soulwax. It will be released to radio stations on January 26th. I suppose the video is in the making now, I hope it's as good as their other videos.

Their third studio album "Human After All" is out at the end of March.

Can't say im too impressed with that tune. It dos'nt really do anything, except sound like an electro guitar repating itself. Hope the rest of the albums songs are a bit more varied. I heard Brainwasher is supposed to be the new "rollin scratching"

chewy

would defo like more rollin scratch as opposed to their second album


that track is abit samey all along not build up or anything?

Robot Rock doesn't sound spectacularly original from that clip, but it does sound more like Homework than Discovery.

Boring sh1te. I hope the released version is far more interesting than this. It's so repetitive that it instantly reminds me of that Deep Dish track that hit the charts recently.

Flashdance is the tune you're referring to Sico, it didn't do much for me when I first heard it but it's grown on me spectacularly in the last month or so and I now love it!

Does anyone know if the album is out as a torrent yet?

20 minutes until I get to hear the new album

getting myself in the mood by listening to discovery.. I've lost the god damn dvd

Ive been listening to the album for almost a week now and i really like it, apart from the last song "Emotion", I hate when an album ends on a crap song, and i dont really like "make love", but the rest of it is great! all cool squelchy beats, which is much more like homework than discovery (thank god)

Just so everyone knows though, Most dance producers use old tracks to get samples from and they use a small bit and it normally sounds good! But Daft Punk are taking the píss with Robot Rock:
Download this Song Breakwater - Release the Beast (4mb)

Its from a band called Breakwater and the track is called release the beast and it was released in 1980.

Now that is just Lazy.

Bloody french.

I like it, alot. Especially Technologic.

it's no discovery (yes yes, I'm a whore for liking discovery more than the first one) but that album was just something special.

three thumbs up!

(edit)

actually, I quite like emotion too

where did you get it from?

Selik

Just got the whole album off Limewire and first impression is that it's like a cross between Homework Discovery... Needs a few more listen obviously but apart from Technologic nothing as really "got me" yet...

Not as lazy as their recent remix of Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out. It's basically the same song.

I like the album, although "Emotion" and "Robot Rock" are probably my least favourite. "Emotion" is kinda Kraftwerk-y though. "Make Love" and "Technologic" are my favourites right now.

The Brainwasher is a great track IMO.

yes but they actually call that a remix, with this they say that its their song?

I've had the album a couple of weeks now and I am very disapointed with it. Nearly every song is really repetitive and I found it a pain to listen to. It is more like Homework but doesn't compare at all, not a great direction to be going in my opinion.

Who wouldn't like Robot Rock? What sad deluded simpleton would fail to be swayed by its almost monotonical simplicity? How can anyone complain that it's repetitive and claim to like dance music at the same time. Dance music is supposed to be repetitive. The only thing that separates any kind of music from noise is recognisable, repeated patterns.

The rest of the album is good too, I think. I like that track about television, and I could listen to "human after all" for ever.

Then again, I really liked that Deep Dish single too. So what the hell do I know?

Berger

Daft Punk aren't dance though, they're electronic!

I like the album. Human After All is my favourite track, the end of it is just too damn good. Brainwasher, Television, Robot Rock are all great tracks. It's not as good as Discovery but hey.

Cheez

its pretty good, only got a few listens but tiz ok.
Not too pushed to buy it, heard it was thrown together in 6 weeks(probly bollix but then again). They were electronic, goin a bit more dancy with this album maybe??? Hopefully its just a hint of better stuff yet to come, its been a while fer chisssakes!!!

conZ

Am i the only person that thinks every song on that album, apart from technologic, is a five minute loop of a fifteen second riff?

I didn't like any of it, except for the well written technologic.

Bit of a waste of time.

Anima

Yeah its an extremely repetitive album alright, but there are a few decent tracks on there so I'm not that bothered.

solo1

five minute loop of a fifteen second riff?

Yeah, but when the riff is good...

Anyway, eventually they are going to get together with Air. I can see it on the horizon. Daft Punk have that hard edge that Air were clearly desperately seeking on "10,000 Hertz Legend" but lost again for "Talkie Walkie", whereas Air have that all-important depth that Daft Punk pretend to ignore, but secretly want ...

zafa

the bottom line is that daft punk havent done anything decent since 1996

theyre sickeningly overrated

Nah... i'm not a big fan of Dance / Electronic music (don't know why i'm in the forum to be honest ) but i found 'Discovery' to be one of the best albums of that year.

Full of amazing tracks - 'One More Time', 'Aerodynamic', 'Digital Love' and the absolutely BRILLANT 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'

Yeah the album was put together in just 4 weeks, I think they've just been lazy bastards for the last while, but the album is better than the Prodigies last, which took 4 years or something!

Still you can always lash on a bit of Revolution909 and it's all gooood!

radiospan

I read somewhere it took them 2 weeks ?!?

Anyway, if anyone needs proof of Daft Punk's lazyness, listen to their remix of Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out. It's almost the same song.

Same goes for Robot Rock, it sounds the very same as the 80's tune that they sample in it.

Ain't that the truth. However, I heard that Liam Howlett had an entire album written and was going to release it - "Baby's Got A Temper" was the single release - but then decided it sounded too much like Fat of the Land. So he went back and started all over again to create a new sound. A new, crappy sound. I really want to hear the tapes of the album he threw out.

Yeah I heard that, and to tell ye the truth, I was ****ing delighted when I heard he was ditching that sound!

"Baby's Got A Temper" has got to be THE worst single released by a credible band ever imo. pure crap. I remember the woeful reviews I heard from people who'd seen them on that summer festival tour too

yep. Being who he is, I expected a new amazing sound(I had it so hyped up in my head too, When I wasn't being too cynical about it;) but I really wished it'd be a great new sound) not some rip-off of electro-clash, a crap genre created by a techno legend by accident, released for the laugh and loved by dickheads like MixMag et al!

I'm telling ye I was not impressed, and sad to realise my cynicism was deserved, Liam Howlett on his own just hasn't got it.
