I haven't read much about the Daft Punk album on this mailing list but
anyway,
there is some great music on it. Tracks like "Rock'n'roll" has the same
wonderful industrial wild-driven fork-on-fridge feeling that I have
previously only heard on the "Mururoa" EP. And the strangest thing of all,
people like it.
Also a few words about "Richard D. James" from a latecomer who waited for
the US version and had it shipped to Sweden. I wasn't expecting it to be
very good seeing that I didn't like the "Girl/Boy" EP very much but this
album is really great. Simple, happy melodies with innovative and varied
beats. Contrary to the four last songs on "Girl/Boy", I *don't* think the
songs are too short. The endings of them come naturally. Richard is
obviously not breaking the unwritten IDM-rule of long songs for the sake of
breaking rules and annoying people. He's simply neglecting the rule because
it doesn't fit into his concept.
Oh and there's a funny song called "Milkman" in which Richard himself sings
the witty phrase "I want to suck my milk, from the milkman's wife's tit".
;)
Cheers,
Johan. ,,,
