Daft Punk — Alive 2007

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) November 20, 2007 11:19 am
You couldn't really avoid the hype about Daft Punk's touring show of the last couple of years. Anyone who went to Coachella in 2006 said it was just about the coolest thing they'd ever seen. Before Lollapalooza, I avoided the videos to see the product fresh. And when the curtains pulled back to reveal a giant pyramid and two party-starting robots...

Daft Punk Ruin It For Everyone

in
By Matt Reeder (CHARTattack) August 14, 2007 1:00 pm
I hate Daft Punk. OK, not really, but I'm royally pissed at them for what will surely amount to their stealing away my ability to be impressed by anyone else's live show for who knows how long. Sure, I read a couple of reviews and watched the YouTube videos of last year's Coachella performance, but after witnessing the robot suit-clad duo in the...

Daft Punk — Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005

By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) April 25, 2006 12:32 pm
French dancemasters Daft Punk attempt to wash the unpleasant taste of last year's Human After All out of fans' mouths with this greatest hits compilation. Smash singles like "Da Funk" and "Around The World" retain their value years after the fact, but the overemphasis on 1997's Homework and their most recent record is a mistake on several fronts....

Daft Punk — Human After All

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) March 15, 2005 2:16 pm
The title of Daft Punk’s latest release is bang-on — the 10 tracks on Human After All are evidence of the duo’s staggering fall from grace. Back in the late ‘90s they served as an irreverent, unabashedly disco-fuelled antidote to the self-important leanings of the emerging electronica genre. Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter appear...

Daft Punk — Discovery

in
By Hannah Guy (CHARTattack) March 13, 2001 1:31 pm
Initially, I was suspecting that Daft Punk had gone the way of the Propellerheads, never to be seen or heard from again. But lo and bloody-behold, here is Discovery, the second release from Daft Punk. Most people have already been pummelled with the clubby single, "One More Time." Much of the album follows up in the DP tradition of sproingy...

Chad VanGaalen Vs. Daft Punk's TRON: Legacy Soundtrack

Sorry, Daft Punk, but you can't count Chad VanGaalen among the fans of your recently released TRON: Legacy score.

He's very quickly figuring out what type of scores he likes and doesn't like."The soundtrack, uh, I don't know...

The Russian Futurists Hold #1 On Campus Chart For Second Week

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) January 11, 2011 3:14 pm
It's always a bit hit and miss with charts during the post-Christmas period. Universities close, and campus radio stations cut back to skeleton crews and the music departments all disappear into the hinterlands for a couple of weeks. There are few contributing stations, and the chart results are quite skewed. The campus chart for the week ending...

If you were expecting Daft Punk's TRON: Legacy soundtrack to be kind of like the follow-up to 2005's Human After All, well... sorry.Instead, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have created what's mostly a brooding, dark score that's also shockingly minimalist. There's a weight to most of the score to TRON: Legacy. Its music hangs in...
