I'm somewhat baffled by all this Daft Punk love, the "One More Time" dudes right? French robot fellas? To each their own I guess but personally were they playing in my house I'd go to bed and try to get some shut eye. *slaps thigh at own wittiness* Then again I'd have said the same thing of LCD Soundsystem pre-last year's EP and enjoyed them immensely, still can't listen to the album in full though.

Before Unicrons reply I was thinking the same thing. As much as Around the World for example is a great tune, what is it performed live? What is the live performance of this stuff apart from great visuals and a remix version? To me it seems its the equivalent of watching a singer miming to a backing track. So do they actually do anything on stage, is the track pretty much a question of pressing play and then twiddling a few knobs to make a few on the fly changes and then hands in the air to get the crowd going?(before anyone goes mad I acknowledge this view may be totally wrong here and maybe they do alot of stuff on those decks so if they do please explain)

it's OK comet - the music is all still live, it's just not rock music.

If they're doing it live I'd imagine that they've got all the various parts on laptops recorded as samples and they mess about with them using something like Ableton Live. I've got limited experience using it and it's lots of fun and you can get some really geat stuff out of it. I've got no problem with it not being actual instruments, I just don't think the music is all that special.

I reckon track for track LCD Soundsytem's debut was one of the top five albums of last year, and if you include the bonus disc of early singles like Losing My Edge and Yeah then I reckon it probably contained more quality tunes than any album released last year.

The bonus disc, and those 2 songs in particular is the thing that makes that album in any way worthwhile for me.
