说起法国的电子音乐大家第一个会想到的就是Air了,与Air的音乐个性有鲜明的对比的另一只法国电子乐队就是Daft Punk. Daft Punk由来自巴黎的Thomas Bangalter和Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo组成。 他们的音乐丝毫没有大师的派头,没有故作深度.歌词上甚至更显得有些浅白. 你不会在Daft Punk的音乐里听到华丽的声效,有的只是最原始的冲动. 在四年前的Discovery的成功发行后,今年马上就要推出新专辑Human After All. 音乐就好比那层封面一样,以不变应万变的 始终坚持着走复古电子路线. 听惯了Air的人去听Daft Punk 无不会为那么简单的音乐元素也能灌输成一张电子专辑而感到惊讶,难听的说甚至有点受罪. 内心层次上的回归和毫无做作,不摆弄技巧的音乐态度是我喜欢Daft Punk的原因. the Prime time of your Life里大胆的用一组130秒酥麻的电子噪音,把你的理性冲击到了最底线.到最后耳膜都快僵直.Robot Rock里更是一段旋律会从0分到 4分27秒的不停的被拿来做文章, 与暧昧的Make love相比我比较喜欢Steam Machine,这是整张专辑我相当喜欢的一首,别看是电子音乐,它也投射着些许死亡黑暗金属的气息,音乐旋律不复杂,但是层次很不错.编曲混音也是相当到位,Emotion则是专辑里唯一能投射出法国浪漫气息的抒情电子.(zouzhou)
Daft Punk return with their first new studio album in four years, entitled Human After All. This is their third studio album to date and the follow-up to 2001's Discovery. Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo recorded the ten tracks of the new album in just six weeks between September and November 2004, in their home studio in Paris. The French electronic music duo came to worldwide attention in 1997, with the release of their debut album Homework. As ever, the music is diverse and fresh whilst retaining their trademark Daft Punk sound, this time with a more spontaneous and direct quality to the recording. A mix of guitars and machines, Human After All takes us from the hardcore "Brainwasher" to the pumping "Technologic", with the addition of rockier tracks such as "Robot Rock"...
