I have a feeling… That kid is staring at my forehead! On the eyebrow on the eyebrow On the eyebrow on the eyebrow Looks like a Kokeshi doll!!!! Monday, December 14, "Discovery" Daft Punk. I thought for a while what I should make my first post about. Should it be my favorite album ever? The aforementioned Frank Zappa album? A recent album? An album I just bought? But in the end, I realized that I should write about the first album I ever bought with my own money. And by this point it should be obvious that it was Daft Punk's "Discovery" album released in I first discovered Daft Punk when I was around 12 or 13 years old.
Thanks to my friend who introduced me to anime, a the video for One More Time what I learned later was part of the Interstella movie made from the Discovery album would play fairly often on the Cartoon Network television channel. Of course, it also helped that the song was featured in a Victoria's Secret commercial at the time too.
Underwear models aside, the music itself was pretty awesome as well. It was catchy, it was upbeat, it was fun, it was just cool, man. Seeing as I was a teenager growing up in the suburbs of Vermont, I didn't even know what a rave was at this point, and disco was just an old kind of music that was supposed to be bad.
Although, the Daft Punk duo have stated that Discovery is an homage to the music of their childhood in the 70s and 80s, to my year-old self living in a time before everyone and their mother was using auto-tune, this was the music of the 21st Century. Of course, buying an album with only hearing one track is not usually a good idea, but hey, I had Cartoon Network and Victoria's Secret on my side!
Needless to say, I did not regret the purchase one bit. Discovery was played on an old portable CD player my dad handed down to me on almost every car trip my family had. When we went to Virginia, a 12 hour drive, it would be played multiple times.
To this day, it remains one of my favorite albums ever. Starting off with the previously mentioned One More Time , those electronic horns in the intro signaled the start of something big.
By the time the bass beat comes in, if your head isn't bopping to the beat, I'm sorry, but you just have no groove. One More Time ends and starts the second track, Aerodynamic , seamlessly with a gong. The completely-instrumental track continues to build on itself throughout the song, it starts off with a funky enough beat, before going into some raw guitar shredding which has remained as my alarm on my cell phone for quite a while now.
From there, it combines the first beat with the shredding until it completely changes to a much quieter 80s synth riff which picks up it's own bass beat as well. Aerodynamic ends with a gong and wind sound effect into Digital Love, a 21st century disco song that borrows a riff from a George Duke song, and a crazy guitar solo enhanced with music sequencers. Gaining fame in recent years due to YouTube Videos and this guy: Kanye's version would ultimately become more well known than the original Daft Punk version.
It still surprises me to this day that most people have no idea that Daft Punk originally wrote the song, seven years prior. Also, when I was in 8th grade, in our rollerskating unit in gym class, the teachers would let us bring in CDs to play while we skated, provided that they were appropriate enough for school.
She compromised and said I could pick four tracks. I told her to just play from Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger down. She said no, and started from the 5th track instead. While I don't know this for a fact, I'm sure she played an edited version of Kanye's Stronger when it came out. I mean, if she didn't have CDs, she'd just play Top 40 radio, and that song was all over it at the time. I was way before my time, man. And to set the record straight, I'd take Daft Punk's version of Kanye's any day of the week.
I always liked this track, despite being a tad repetitive. Though, I always wondered what the people were saying. Seeing as the first five tracks make up a pretty energetic nearly 20 minutes. Flame — Just from how this song started I had kinda figured it would be bad. But after the disastrous opening it does pick up and become a decent song.
Well, more than decent. A pretty amazing song. A song worthy of multiple listens. Great job! Dang the ending of the album definitely makes up for the first half which was pure torture besides tracks , that is. This reminds me of how Nana-chan used to end all her albums with ballads. Minorin sounds especially Minorin-like in this song unlike last song XD but it works! Yay for working! Overall: The album opens strongly. Great first couple of tracks.
The middle tracks are what kill the album. I would just skip over them if I were you. The ending tracks do the first few tracks justice by making sure that the album is still not completely not worth it. This album all together gets rated a B. If you do then I apologize. Number 3?!? Who decides on this chart?!?
Nana-chan deserves Number 1! Especially with a song this outstandingly amazing!!! This was the amazing song that had the amazing chorus and the amazing music and then…. This song is likeeeeeeee horrible. How could I forget this shit. Still managed to stay on the top 10 I see. Well it needs to get off. Techno with a girl with a high-pitched voice. Very amazing! The PVs not too bad either :3 If you like techno definitely give this a go. I could only find covers and why bother listening to that?
This song is pretty good but his voice is rather bothersome. Maybe I should switch back to YouTube…. Categorized in Uncategorized. Hikki has uploaded some new photos from her American concert tour that I was unable to go to since the concert in California was sold out by the time I found out about it.
This song would have made it onto my iPod if the voice would have been better or if it had been sung by someone else. Unfortuantely, both of the singles suck balls. Neither of them made it onto my iPod because if they were on there I would have to burn my iPod for having such crap on it.
Then his voice came in. This song is soooo beautiful. What a great song ;D This song really reminds me of American music. And the fact that this song is extremely catchy is even better ;D And they sound really good live.
