Daft Punk's song "one more time" is a piece of garbage- don't blame it on
the vocoder. The video is a clever use of retarded cartoons- but the song is
wretched-

Yeah, it's really sad. The new Squarepusher and the new Daft Punk albums
both use this vocoder thang, and although clearly the electronic music scene
(and for that matter the Electro Funk scene, going all the way back to Earth
Wind & Fire and Zapp) should "own" this sound, I can't help but think every
time I hear it "Oh, the Cher Effect".
I was so sad to hear Romanthony's voice defiled with that effect. Thanks a
lot, Daft Punk...
