I'm Alive!

I had the chance to listen to Daft Punk's latest live recording album a week early, and it is nothing short of phenomenal. First off, check out the songlist...


1. ROBOT ROCK / OH YEAH
2. TOUCH IT / TECHNOLOGIC
3. TELEVISION RULES THE NATION / CRESCENDOLLS
4. TOO LONG / STEAM MACHINE
5. AROUND THE WORLD / HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER
6. BURNIN' /TOO LONG
7. FACE TO FACE / SHORT CIRCUIT
8. ONE MORE TIME / AERODYNAMIC
9. AERODYNAMIC BEATS / FORGET ABOUT THE WORLD
10. PRIME TIME OF YOUR LIFE / BRAINWASHER / ROLLIN' AND SCRATCHIN'/ALIVE
11. DA FUNK / DAFTENDIREKT
12. SUPERHEROES / HUMAN AFTER ALL / ROCK'N ROLL

The keyword here would be "mash-ups." However, Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel does it totally differently from the usual mash-ups Djs and they really put MOS' Mash-Up Mix CDs to shame. The way they mash, overlay and doing live remixes of their own songs is totally a new experience and really inspiring. It is as if the whole set is coded with a subliminal message telling its listeners to strive to be creative, to challenge new frontiers and then never accept anything that reeks of the slightest mediocrity. Here is the first track in the CD, it should tease you enough to get you interested to buy the CD when it drops.

Daft Punk - Robot Rock/Oh Yeah (Alive 2007)

And I really don't mean to take a dig at Kanye, I feel he's really innovative even though he's actually quite a petulant bitch. However, Kanye took their track and made a somewhat good song, but look what Daft Punk does to their own track...and remember this is remixed live!

Daft Punk - Face to Face/Short Circuit (Alive 2007)

I remember when Tiesto is spinning to tens of thousands of people during his stadium concerts, but he just use the normal vinyls and all that, now compare it with what Daft Punk is doing. Anyway...the track that comes up after "Face to Face/Short Circuit," i consider it the climax of their set, here's a video for it...




that's all fellas, till next time.
