Daft Punk prep live LP; robot rockers rejoice
- Artists:
- Daft Punk »
French dance duo Daft Punk are to release a live album later this year.
The recording of the band's show in Paris on June 14 will make up the main body of the release, which will be available both as a single-disc edition and a deluxe double-CD affair.
Thomas Bangalter - one of two Daft Punkers - said of the new LP:
"We're from Paris and we hadn't played there for ten years. It must have been a special night for the audience, as well as us."
Kanye West - popular rapper and wearer of phat glasses - has sampled the duo's 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' song for his own chart-tickling 'Stronger' single. Of the 'collaboration', t'other Punk robot Guy Manuel de Homem Christo has commented:
"The DJ had made an edit of our song at the beginning and then it turned into this song. Our song had a good sound, but when he put Kanye's record on the sound was really fat."
Fat like a cow. Daft Punk's original version is to be re-released, albeit in a live rendering, soon. Its video features footage shot by fans at a show in Brooklyn, New York. No fewer than 250 cameras were used. Liek, OMG, etc.

I love Daft Punk
They could send out a press release of a picture of their shit and I'd still think it was awesome
Fat?
those crazy french people.
Hooray
Will be good to finally hear the new bits and bobs in decent quality. Though what would make the whole thing worth buying would be a DVD version of a live show filmed sometime since last autumn.
Live album = good, but surely everyone has the Coachella recording already?
Anyone know why
they hadn't played Paris for 10 years despite hailing from there? Do Parisians hate them?
That was
blantantly 'phat' rather than fat. Chyah.
Their live abum a while ago from around the time of Homework was fantastic. i guess this one will be too.
No
I read a Rough Guide book recently which said "everything you read about the unfriendliness of the Parisians is not true, at least not now". I went there in May for a week and everyone was fantastic. The only unfriendly people I met were tourists.
