Burnin' |
     |
The third single from
the French duo's album Homework. There music is as repetitive as ever. There music is as
repetitive as ever. This single is not their best, but is still excellent - though Daft
Punk are an acquired taste! The video is excellent (as usual). The CD sleeve is laid out
as an advert for the video, and looks fantastic, especially compared to the awful sleeves
for Da Funk and Around The World. |
Music
Sounds Better With You |
     |
Daft Punk are an
extremely cool band, who have had loads of excellent singles, and, although they may seem
a little dull on first hearing, end up staying in your CD player for months on end. Yeah,
but what has this got to do with Stardust?, I hear you ask. Well, I was just about to tell
you - One of the blokes out of Daft Punk is responsible for this epic release, which is
certain top be a very big hit - and justifiably so - although not that exciting on first
hearing, it's so infectious, that, like Da Funk, Around The World, Burnin' and Revolution
909, it will end up getting stuck on repeat 'till the end of the year - or when you get
board of it - which ever comes sooner. |
Gym
& Tonic |
|
The song is one of 20 or
so different work-out songs currently doing the rounds - all dispicable covers of the Bob
Sinclar/Thomas Bangalter original - this one goes "Back, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8", others
go "Step,2,3,4,5,6,7,8" or "Jump,2,3,4,5,6,7,8" - one is even to the
tune of Music Sounds Better With You. The pure-pop side of dance music is not really that
good, this is terrible compared to the original - this version paying more attention to
the words than the music.. Also, unlike the original Gym Tonic, Gym & Tonic does not
use the real samples from Jane Fonda videos, and is much more like pop sensation
Steps, which could either help the single to chart a lot higher than you might expect - or
make it miss the chart completely, and go away, never to be heard again. Like Brock
Landars' SMDU. |
