I have to disagree on this one though. I totally love DA FUNK. That track has one of the smoothest and coolest sounding lead lines I've heard in a track in ages. Also, I totally dig the video for that track too. Really unique stuff:) I think this album is going to be huge. It seems like Virgin is really promoting the hell out of it. When I was in Boston about 2 weeks ago, there were big Daft Punk posters on alot of buildings.

I haven't seen the video..... (I live in a cable-free zone, and I breathe the fresh air!)...... but if you really want to here smooth lead lines.... drop a few hard-earned dollars on Orb's Toxygene single with that explosive Kris Needs remix. It smokes everything I've heard in the last year.... I talked to a publicist about this track, just this afternoon, and she said that DJs across the country have been going nuts about this track. I'll tell you, it totally caught me off guard when I first heard it. Funny thing is, I've been listening to that 12" over and over now, yet i haven't actually listened to the rest of the ep yet. :) As for Daft Punk being huge..... I doubt it. I don't see much of an audience for this disc. Here in Toronto, there too are flyposters wall-to-wall in the downtown area, however, the general response I've heard for the video is essentially that it's damn cool, but the music sucks. Now if only the disc came with a CD-ROM video portion...... onnow: lamb "godbless" (mercury) Lame Thread Prevention in Effect: Aaron Michelson --------------------------------------------------------------------- aw-teck'r (autechre) "Everything you Know is Wrong" For reviews, interviews, art & trash http://www.on-it.net/~aaron/ aaron@defiant.on-it.net

Kudos to the DA FUNK track and while we're on the subject last weekend while I was in NY I, by chance, got to see them perform at some club in the Chelsea area of NYC. Actually it wasn't a bad club at all, unfortunately I was under the impression that they would actually perform(with instruments in hand) but instead they put on an amazing DJ set for basically the whole night. They basically mixed in a whole set of their own music with the occasional PA chant(through pitch shifter of course) to the kids out on the dance floor. Let's just say they had the crowd going though I tended to move around in a sitting position on some stairs being that my girlfriend really doesn't like to dance. Anyway they definitely have that dance floor flavor and that works for me.... ;-)
