Electroma

So, um, what? Heh, okay. Apparently, it's about a world where everyone has Daft Punk robot heads. :D

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

That Daft Punk's debut as auteurs contains none of the French duo's music is but one of the perverse things about the project. There are still fine tunes to be heard — the soundtrack includes songs by Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, Sebastien Tellier and Curtis Mayfield — but long passages of the film take place in silence. Despite some startling imagery (especially in the final moments), this conceptually thin tale of two robots who long to be human is stretched to the point of crushing tedium. The influence of '70s touchstones like Zabriskie Point, THX 1138 and Vanishing Point is easy to see, but no one asked Daft Punk to make The Brown Robo-Bunny.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

trailer of the year imho

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

looks very weird, but in a good way.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

yea...

didn't even know about them making the film before now (there's not like some sort of daft punk equivalent of dirty, is there?)

but the movie looks really interesting - and I was a fan of THX1139, and if this is similar - it could be cool.

when does the film come out?

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

The car scene reminds me of The White Room by KLF.

The dvd comes out in September. (already out in Australia)

I wish The White Room movie was on dvd. The youtube clips don't do it justice.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

it's playing here july 26, a couple days before the Daft Punk show. can't wait. more excited for the movie than the concert to be honest.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

seriously? where

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

Seriously. I'd love if somebody could put into words the awesomeness of Daft Punk. Specially considering how dissapointing is approximately 66% (not counting Alive 97 here) of their work. Because I love them, and I feel it can't be another way when you've seen them a couple times live and you like electronic music. Where does their charm reside in? Is there any kind of clinical approach to my question? I'd love to know what to say to people when they ask me about the band and reach them, give them a fulfilling answer.

Seatte, Wa

you wanna stop by before the show? it's only 5 blocks from me, all downhill!

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

awesomeness is simple, repetitive, happy songs
huge stage show with the lights and pyramid
space helmets
---

don't look for too much in daft punk. it's just simple, retarded party music.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

it's also always done in style:

-robot gear
-uniforms
-live set of mashing up 3 lps
-interstella 5555
-their other videos
-light pyramid show
-action figures
-electroma
-good tunes

daft punk seem to go a long way to enhance their music visually in unique manners. that's something that separates them from a lot of other acts out there: daft punk became icons without being actual celebrities, simply by offering experiences which ppl do not see every day.

while their music might seem repetitive to some, their inventiveness removes them far from being just retarded party music.

ps. i also find discovery to be one the best albums of all time, so i might be biased :)

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

the fact that they're primarily graphic designers who handle their concepts amazingly well goes a long way.
but yeah i also love their albums

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

It's all in their overuse of compressors ;)

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

i think they are awesome because is not the same liking machine generated music and actually seeing some weird robot machines playing the music you like.. and also.. they make you dance: perfect.

Robots are like the best thing in the world after chocolate.. so i love Daft Punk even if there is not going to be another "Homework" again, apparently.

for some time i thought Daft Punk was the alter project of Air jeje.. cute.

also.. im seeing them in 2 weeks and i can't wait!!!!

and.. Electroma looks soo weird.. so great :)

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

Saw them again tonight...they took pretty much the exact same set they played at Coachella and threw another song in there...and then came the encore. Wow. Fucking wow. That encore is one of my music highlights of the year. No spoielrs from me but ye shall enjoy yourself, GforGroove!

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

Electroma fucking sucked.

Utterly disappointed.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

yeah same thing at HMH in amsterdam. that encore was fucking mad, i couldn't believe it

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

I can't wait to see them on July 31st. It is going to be awesomesauce.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

You can bet your fucking pants.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

nooooooo...

i heard it was quiet, and not very glittery, and cheap in some aspects, but i guess i was hoping it'd be good in the straightforward kind of way.

ah well, there's always oizo's 'steak'
now that looks really funny.

Re: Daft Punk - Electroma
 

That's a shame. I was looking forward to it. Was there anything about it you did like?

Re: a shitty movie
 

it doesn't suck at all. I saw it yesterday. Is obviously not a masterpiece or anything like that.. It was really crazy seeing all the excited ravey fans in the line, getting into the threatre almost dancing.. and then seeing them fallin sleep and the middle of the movie hehe.. that was *fucking awsome*..

I need to process more the movie, but besides looking fabulous and having crazy landscapes reflecting in the neat robot helmets, the music is really good and the last sequence takes your breath away.

Re: a shitty movie
 

i think its for fans. nothing to do with cinema.

Re: a shitty movie
 

doesn't contain any DP music.
no DP dudes under the costumes.
give them a break.

Re: a shitty movie
 

i think is not for fans. Nothing to do with Daft Punk.

Re: a shitty movie
 

cept there's an assload of walking where the dual jackets emblazoned with their logo are prominently featured throughout.
that's what bugged me. because there really isn't anything to do with daft punk in it, but they wear the jackets. bah.
other than that i rather liked it.
i guess because expectations were brought pretty low by that point and it fit the mood i was in at the time, which is just the will to sit there and watch things happen or not happen.
