I've spent my entire weekend drinking in my backyard and listening to early 90s techno. It's been the best weekend I've had in a month.

Any specifics?

I'm looking to expand my electronic collection. (specifically early 90's era)

I hope I'm not the only one who had it on repeat for like hours last night. Get Lucky is actually amazing. I have extremely high hopes for RAM.

Get Lucky is awesome, and it has given me high hopes as well for RAM and I really do hope it is decent, because I was very let down by Human After All.

Yeahhh not their best album but i still tend to play Technologic a lot because its fund to sing along to. Other than that, a pretty bland album.

Just picked up a compilation album called Valerie and friends and its pretty damn good.

For anyone who is a fan of Neo 80's synth, this album is for you.

For anyone who is a fan of progressive and various forms of chillstep check out Mr. Suicide Sheep's channel on youtube, some really awesome stuff there:

Saw The Knife yesterday, amazing show.

SPOILERS FOR ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO SEE IT:
You will only see The Knife for a good 15 mins, the rest is people dancing on stage to their songs. A lot of people were pissed off, which I can undersatnd but I had a great time nonetheless and I thought it was a great show.

Zantera · « **Reply #395 on:** May 06, 2013, 02:52:43 AM »

I'm seeing The Knife in August. Excited for it.

TVC 15 · « **Reply #396 on:** May 06, 2013, 12:33:08 PM »

That new album from The Knife is insanely good. I didn't think I'd be all wrapped up in amazement at the more ambient pieces, but they were just as great to listen to as their more beat-heavy stuff.

BTW, also glad that Matthew Dear may be upping his profile now that he's opening for Depeche Mode on their European tour. So glad for the guy who's worked so hard to get to that point in his career.

Yeah. I'd hoped for a little more Silent Shout stuff but it was amazing nonetheless.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #403 on:** May 14, 2013, 12:13:48 PM »

I quite like Random Access Memories. Favourite tracks are Giorgio by Moroder, Lose Yourself to Dance and Doin' it Right.

My name is Giovanni Giorgio but everybody calls me... Giorgio.

Sigz · « **Reply #404 on:** May 14, 2013, 02:51:31 PM »

I only spun it once, but I loved it.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #405 on:** May 14, 2013, 05:34:11 PM »

Never really listened to much Daft Punk before and thought what I heard was kinda meh. After listening to RAM, I'm not won over at all.

I like Doin' It Right (probably because I love Panda Bear) and the opener but that's about it.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #406 on:** May 14, 2013, 05:39:24 PM »

Also, Justice recently released a live album which is really worth checking out.

It's like, Written Law, that you must be smitten by Discovery and Homework. LAWWWWW.

adace · « **Reply #408 on:** May 14, 2013, 06:03:41 PM »

RAM is really good. Much more diverse and ambitious than I expected from them.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #409 on:** May 14, 2013, 06:10:27 PM »

Funny. My problem was I felt like I was hearing the same song repeatedly. Guess they're just not for me then, heh.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #410 on:** May 14, 2013, 06:13:29 PM »

I don't get that honestly, each song felt very much like it's own entity, at least that's what I thought.
Really digging RAM by the by, just thought I'd throw that in.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #411 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:26:45 PM »

I'm really enjoying Random Acess Memories and feel like its a vast improvement over Human after All. Its a sweet album, but incredibly different than anything they have ever down. It has a much more mature and subtle sound to it, and I'm really digging it.

I love "Doin' It Right"

carl320 · « **Reply #412 on:** May 19, 2013, 07:32:27 PM »

On a whim I went to youtube to listen to "One More Time" only to find out Romanthony (the guy who sings) died today

Scrub206 · « **Reply #413 on:** May 22, 2013, 01:21:19 PM »

Just got in RAM yesterday, gave it a good listen through and im really enjoying it. its a whole different direction but still the same daft punky feel/sound. too good

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #414 on:** May 22, 2013, 04:49:48 PM »

So after maybe 5 listens so far of RAM, although I find it satisfying, I can't help feeling kind of underwhelmed at the same time. Its just a bit too laid back and has kind of a passive sound to it.

The only songs that make me physically start moving or make me feel compelled to move are Get Lucky and Doing it Right. That's it, for the rest of it, I feel like its an album to listen to before going to sleep or an album to unwind to, which is fine. Its just that what I've always liked about Daft Punk is that they are like the musical equivalent of a cup of coffee, they get me off my ass and motivated. RAM chills me out like an Ambien.

Another thing I will say is that the album is way too long. At 74 minutes, it loses focus about have way through. Because of that, I had to trim off a few songs to get this thing more manageable, so I removed Giorgio by morodor, within, and Fragments of time.

But regardless, its still a million times better than human after all and I am happy to have it be a part of my collection.

Late to the party but Random Access Memories!!

My god, what an album and the session musicians...

JR Robinson
Omar Hakim
Nathan East
Paul Jackson Jr

amongst others!!

This is me listening to the album:

PixelDream · « **Reply #417 on:** July 09, 2013, 04:09:30 AM »

Really loving the new album 'Immunity' by Jon Hopkins. He previously worked as a sound designer with Brian Eno on Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' album. His earlier solo stuff sounds a bit generic but beautiful, and on this new record he's really coming into his own as an electronic music artist. The album flows like one piece and there's even plenty of his piano skills on display throughout. I love this record.

Check out the video for 'Open Eye Signal': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q04ILDXe3QE

My favorite songs are:

1. Doin' it right
2. Lost yourself to dance
3. Game of love

Not sure this particular song actually qualifies as "electronic," but it's absolutely amazing. Can't wait for the new Goldfrapp record!
