Thomas Bangalter: "The music we worked on with Kanye was super primal and raw and super violent. It was the opposite of our new album in lots of ways. It was really exciting to do something completely raw."

It all sounds like a High School retrospective, as if they've done all their searching and striving and just want to stand back and look at it.
It's a difficult/challenging time if you make electronic music as the moment - several half-stepped generations from the 90s crowd who took hiphouse and acid through to techno, trance and nu-everything and back again. The audience is so fractured and has such a disparate musical heritage that you can't pitch it to your crowd and predict success. By giving us a slice of fizzy, well-timed disco, DP have - in the words of Terence McKenna - gone back to last sane moment they (and we) ever knew - the disco era, of which house and techno and every flavor of everything in between, came from. To my mind and ear it's a massive, slick, shrug - 'we don't know what's next', they're saying, but here's some basics - the production and context and polish of which would not have been possible without the last 20 years, but that remains essentially a retrograde move. I don't dislike it - I don't feel strongly enough about it, if I were them and considering the floor-busters they put out in their heydey, I'm not sure I'd know where to go either. As I say, it's an awkward time to be putting out a seminal swan-song; the older crowd are hanging up their dancing shoes, and the younger ones are disillusioned with EDM and haven't yet got the sophistication to appreciate the years preceding that. We're getting ready for a big clear out, and I can't wait. When this happens, it's always the precursor to dark, stripped out, inaccessible noise. Yee hah :)- < well putKrassy
