okkie posted:They did remixes for Ian Pooley and Scott Grooves and some other dudes I can't remember now. Ian Pooley, Scott Grooves, and Gabrielle, which were all in the 90s. Maybe some others I'm not aware of. Hence why they said they don't do that anymore. The aforementioned remixes are pretty good and are all on the Musique compilation. The Gabrielle and Scott Grooves remixes are pretty much original Daft Punk tracks that sample a small part of the source material (or in the case of Scott Grooves, it samples the song that he sampled (Mothership Connection)).

Intel&Sebastian posted:If we're talking from a radio-play perspective straight up vocaloid-style vocals from no source but electronics are still pretty novel. Outside of Japan anyway. I think if there's anything from Discovery onward that's going to peg them as big innovators who were ahead of their time it's going to be their skills with that. If the vocaloid community is any indication I'd bet we are within 10 years of an all electronic-vox phase for pop music and half the time we won't even be able to tell. Haven't all Daft Punk's vocals had a human origin though? I thought most of their robot voices were made using a vocoder - a human voice as a modulator signal, and an instrument (synth, or guitar on Human After All) as a carrier signal - and the rest have been pitch-shifting of a normal speaking voice or Autotune. Although I don't know how they made the vocal effect on Something About Us (or the similar songs on RAM) - that sounds too human to be a vocoder. Is that a speech synthesizer/Vocaloid-like program? They were definitely really creative with vocoders, though. The way it's used in Harder Better Faster Stronger is genius.

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:I just noticed on The Game of Love the synth/vocoder solo around 3:30 has inhale sounds like the vocoder performer is still singing even though it would seem that no one would need to be performing vocals to get that particular sound, it's straight synth it seems. It seems like the effect they were going for was for the synth solo to sound like the vocoder voice was performing it which is pretty rad and why I'm posting. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about there not being any vocal input on that solo. That's a good observation. I hadn't noticed it the first time but now the breathing sticks out like a sore thumb. It's definitely deliberate, as if to tell us something about how human the singer is. The entire solo sounds pretty vocal to me, like a robot humming. They probably recorded someone (thomas, i guess) humming and taking breaths when needed, while playing a synth along with it, and then blended them together with a vocoder. If you record someone taking a breath and vocode it, it sounds something like that.

Present posted:I got this album and I'm really digging the sick bass groove/funk/jazz tracks in it, like Beyond, that instrumental bit in the middle of Moroder, in Get Lucky, the twangy guitar in Dance. Can any of you kind goons recommend any other artists/albums/tracks that are similar? Also really dug Contact. Music with sick bass grooves and chirpy funk guitar is my favourite kind, and my favourite part of RAM. Here's what I find hits the same spot. Most of it comes from turn-of-the-80's R&B and jazz-funk: - The guitar on Dance is played by Nile Rodgers, so look up his discography on Wikipedia and listen to everything he's been involved in, e.g. his band Chic and all the hit songs he produced in the 80's. It all has that same guitar sound and it's great. - anything by Roger Troutman or his band Zapp, for chirpy guitars and robot voices. The songs Dancefloor and I can Make you Dance remind me a lot of Lose Yourself to Dance. - jazz-funk like the Crusaders, Bob James, Surface Noise, and disco-era Herbie Hancock - sophisticated groovy funk like SOS Band, Mtume, Slave - late-70's Parliament and Funkadelic (and then listen to their early 70's work because it's great too) - "Regulate" by Warren G (1994 gangsta rap) and the song it samples, "I Keep Forgettin'" (Michael McDonald) have a pretty similar riff to Beyond. - Jamiroquai - anything tangentially related to any of the above - I guess for something more modern you could listen to Chromeo or Escort but they're both a bit more "get up off yo rear end and dance" than something like Beyond

If "Lose Yourself to Dance" is the next single, it will reaffirm for people unfamiliar with them that Daft Punk is the alias of an R&B singer who sounds like Pharrell / that Daft Punk is Pharrell's old-school side project. All from the people who brought us Homework, Human After All, and Tron Legacy.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Uhhhhhh excuse me, you also get to experience the auditory nirvana of the extended Giorgio Moroder interview in a format where you can really appreciate the differences in microphones used for recording each different era of his work he talks about. A distinction so minute even their sound engineer couldn't be arsed to care, therefore solidifying you as having higher ranked ears than he does. It's a Princess and the Pea deal. The person who has hearing so fine they can hear the difference between the microphones gets to marry Thomas.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Apparently the Grammy appearance will also include Stevie Wonder, Pharrell, Nile Rodgers and the RAM session players. Prediction: They'll play a medley of Get Lucky, Happy (the pharrell song), and a Stevie Wonder song. No idea what Thomas and Guy will actually do during the performance though. Pretend they're singing the vocoder parts? What would be really cool is if Stevie brought out his old talkbox and provided the robot voices himself. Haha.
