Daft Punk – Unchained: DVD

Daft Punk – Unchained Director: Herve Martin-Delpierre BBC Worldwide Productions An interesting, and worthy documentary that traces Daft Punk’s music and antics back to the start, in fact back to the pre-robot days when, in an early review of their shoegazer-ish group, they were written off as making “daft punk”. So, Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo and […]

Chromeo: White Women

Chromeo White Women Big Beat/Wea David Macklovitch (Dave 1) and Patrick Gemayel (P-Thugg) are back with album number four as Chromeo and the deconstructed disco and playful yacht-rock tropes are still happening.

Daft Punk: Random Access Memories

Daft Punk Random Access Memories Columbia There aren’t that many albums that can trade on pre-release hype/hope but the marketing job for Daft Punk’s new album, the duo’s first original studio record in nearly a decade (not counting the TRON: Legacy soundtrack) has been so huge, so spot-on that there’ll be a queue of people […]
