i don't like electronica
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;40014594]It's proven that Vinyl sounds superior than M4As and MP3s though.[/QUOTE] It honestly depends now more on the type of music being listened. The music has to fit the medium. For instance, most pop songs of today's generation will just sound straight up weird on vinyl, because they simply don't fit in the setting. The new daft punk album, this is going to be a tough call honestly. Because i quite like buying cd's and ripping flacs from them, but i also love my vinyl.
[QUOTE=The_Marine;40014888]i don't like electronica[/QUOTE] And this is relevant how?
[QUOTE=The_Marine;40014888]i don't like electronica[/QUOTE] Why even bother posting this? If you don't like it just move on...
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;40014594]It's proven that Vinyl sounds superior than M4As and MP3s though.[/QUOTE] How so?
[QUOTE=sixtyten;40014958]How so?[/QUOTE] bit rate. IIRC. Also it's converted bit rate since i think it's like analogue formats technically dont have bit rate.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;40014965]bit rate.[/QUOTE] Yeah whoops I didn't read that post too carefully. I thought he was comparing analog to digital and I was about to tear him a new one.
I love the Discovery album but can't say I've listened to anything else by them extensively apart from the Tron soundtrack, with that in mind is there any of the other stuff worth checking out?
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;40015016]I love the Discovery album but can't say I've listened to anything else by them extensively apart from the Tron soundtrack, with that in mind is there any of the other stuff worth checking out?[/QUOTE] Listen to to their live album 'Alive 2007" to hear their mix of songs from their previous three studio albums.
[QUOTE=The_Marine;40014888]i don't like electronica[/QUOTE] I care. ... Wait.
[QUOTE=TheHydra;40014752]alive 2007 is way better if you listen to the first three albums beforehand though.[/QUOTE] it actually makes it harder to listen to the old stuff because you expect certain things and they don't happen because it's from a different song so yeah do alive 2007 last. or first. whatever.
I just hope this new album isn't as much as a disappointment as Human After All was.
it was great for a live album. but still, stupidly hyped for this, had it on loop for about 2 hours now.
the question is will they release this on vinyl they better

[QUOTE=sixtyten;40015178]I just hope this new album isn't as much as a disappointment as Human After All was.[/QUOTE] human after all is my favorite fight me fucker
besides alive 2007, digital love is probably my favourite.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;40015341]discovery -> hoomework -> human after all -> alive 2007 do not listen to alive 2007 first or you'll miss out on a lot of fun[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_ETDgmnlP8"]Alive 1997[/URL] is pretty good imo, seems like not too many people acknowledge it though. Looking forward to May, it's going to be a long April.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;40013902] [video=youtube;eVVfZAZdIUs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVVfZAZdIUs[/video][/QUOTE] this is actually an amazing song and way better than robot rock [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=MendozaMan;40014348]I'm sorry but the amount of "hipster" (I know you are joking but [I]still[/I]) that this implies is beyond ridiculous Converting 2013 heavy techno / electro music into Vinyl and playing it on something that could probably be used to knit yourself a woolen sweater is not reverse engineering, that is dark age engineering :v:[/QUOTE] wow this is a really condescending post
I'm glad to see they are still alive!
homework was actually the best one imo because it focused on making the best and most streamlined house possible, revolution 909 is like a masterclass in house discovery had that whole studio 54 70's chic going on but failed to take it anywhere because it was sterile (good disco and funk is anything but sterile) and most of the tracks were just direct cops from old funk records, LCD Soundsystem and Holy Ghost! did that whole thing way better than Daft Punk [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GLRJThnKfg[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcehYrGX8TU[/media]
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;40014594]It's proven that Vinyl sounds superior than M4As and MP3s though.[/QUOTE] who proved it and how? Vinyl vs. mp3 is a pretty subjective thing, but if we were looking at it objectively digital is clearly superior. It eliminates mechanical noises and offers much better dynamic range, the problem and irony is that most studios compress digital music just for the sake of making it louder. Digital is more "true" when its not victim to the loudness war.

Seeing as vinyl typically will hold the equivalency of 1030kbps. Music on the cd is superior usually and does not deteriorate as it's digital but its usually raped by the producers before heading to retail. A cd has like 1320kbps but when you get a typical mp3, even when ripped from a cd, you get a file that has a range like 16khz and a kbps of 320 at best. Digital is better, but varies greatly. What he said was that vinyl is superior than m4a and mp3, not all digital formats.. When it comes to the file types like m4a and mp3, vinyl is significantly better.
i'd like to collect vinyl but it's mad expensive

It's the same way that 128Kbps AAC sounds better than 256Kbps MP3 even though the bitrate is lower.

"one more time", "aerodynamic", "harder, better, faster, stronger", and "superheroes" are pretty good. "veridis quo" is nice too. what do you think of HAA/alive 2007?
It feels kind of odd to have a Daft Punk cover without the words Daft Punk on it.
