I love Daft Punk so much. I hate that I never got a chance to see them live. I have the album Alive 2007 on repeat right now. (I say earlier stuff in the title because I didn’t care for the album Random Access Memories.)
Who else would you recommend I listen to? Especially if they’re still producing music. I love their loopy, sampled sound. Any other bands do something similar? Identical isn’t necessary, adjacent is fine.
Rumor is, any time two Frenchmen are in a room with a keyboard, there is a small chance that the next electronic duo will form from the interaction.
Until then, it’s probably Justice and Ratatat. Check out Marc Rebillet, too. The rare “one-man electronic duo.”
Oh man, Ratatat. My (now) wife put Ratatat on the mix CD she made for me after our first date 15 years ago.
The legend. I mean he’s fun for a while but after that while you start to see patterns and it kind of got old for me.
True, I don’t listen to him for several days in a row like I do with Justice or Daft Punk. But I love him in bite-sized pieces, and tracks like Your New Morning Alarm make me smile every time.
I saw him at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and everyone in the crowd was having such a good time. At one point, he’s running around on stage in his bathrobe (of course), and his robe got snagged on something. So he just took it off, and was running around in his underwear yelling, “SOMEONE GET ME A ROBE! SOMEONE GET ME A GOD DAMN ROBE!” Then he made a song out of it.
