Review: Daft Punk - Alive 2007 (2007)

in hive-137433 •  4 years ago 

Daft Punk, the duo that everyone knows. From musicians, teenagers fascinated with music of any kind, rockers who always argue about how bad the album is but who love the group as an exception, underground producers of electronic music to your little brother who likes them for their flashy helmets that they use in each event. On Monday, January 22, 2021, the French duet with decades making music makes the decision to separate, a news that left several with a blank mind, of all the groups that can expect a separation, the majority did not expect that of These two unbreakable friends Reserved, away from drama and the horrible greed of fame, simple guys despite their beautiful sets, who would have thought that a couple of young boys in helmets would be so important to music? They began to be noticed for their varied discography, after so much time listening to the classic Synth-pop and House hits of the 80s and 90s, plus the key factor that they revolutionized the electronic music scene with their appearance in the 90s, makes it clear to us that, although many consider it debatable, its importance is vital.

We have heard his magnificent "Discovery" where the imagination flies through the cosmos, his image takes off on a global scale and he is considered geniuses of the dance floor. He has also enjoyed the very little and very hit by critics, however most recognize him as his most experimental and creative side, along with everyone's favorite (which for some pretentious they consider his worst album) Random Access Memories that shows us his more pop facet, but at the same time a balance between being a serious duet in its style and also having material for all audiences.

"Alive 2007" is a diamond in the rough of modern electronic music, being a live set that marks the before and after in the soul of every partygoer. The touches of French House, Nu Disco, Synth-pop, Electro-House, the variations of pitch, tempo, robotic vocoders, scratches and rhythms make it the essential disco of dance music.

"Robot Rock / Oh Yeah": two songs mixed together, the noise of the monstrous orde of dancers, ravers and fans goes out of control when the beat falls. To the touch of the electric guitar, Electro-House steps, and the mechanical voices leaves us with a unique fusion of opening.

"Touch It / Technologic": Something perverse, it brings back memories of the 80s and their provocative classics, here the duo plays with the vowels of "Touch it" and replaces it with the beat of Technologic.

"Television Rules The Nation / Crescendolls": Another hypnotic song, that adding the voices of "Around The World", the powerful bass of "Crescendolls" and the audience shaking their heads like crazy leaves us dumbfounded.

"Too Long / Steam Machine": The party does not stop, "Too Long" can be heard in combination with the passage of "Steam Machine" with the power of the basslines, then it focuses on a rather strange stop, which rises from a rhythm of "2-step" (or Dubstep) at the beginning, it does not stop, every time faster it returns to its original position with much more energy.

"Around The World / Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger": The two songs that made the duet world famous finally come together as two missing pieces of the Alive musical puzzle. The bass lines of Around The World are quite impressive, so much so that very few DJs / Producers manage to reach this element in French House themes, together with the dazzling of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger results in an unbeatable mix.

"Burnin '/ Too Long": Burning's bass is the opener, however they use Too Long again without falling into monotony, we can hear the audience jumping and imitating the sound effects of both songs.

"Face To Face / Short Circuit": One of the strangest mashups, the use of vocoders as arpeggios is unmatched, the tempo changes usually generate a huge silence but at the same time it manages to capture the attention of the masses.

"One More Time / Aerodynamic": Oh, and how delicious, tempting and friendly nostalgia is when "One More Time" plays the emotion was never that important, a House song was never that important in history, it shone like a star on the Alive and flew into infinity with the "Aerodynamic" rocket giving us faith in such a gloomy world.

"Aerodynamic Beats / Forget About The World": we continue the odyssey to the rhythm of Aerodynamic, but this time as an escape from our galaxy to the afterlife.

"Prime Time Of Your Life / Brainwasher / Rollin 'And Scratchin' / Alive": what makes this set more special is that 4 songs at the same time have been synchronized in total harmony without stopping, and that its duration (10 minutes) do not get bored or monotonous.

"Da Funk / Daftendirekt": The walk to the end of this last great concert feels like being the last space warrior, walking at the pace of a rock star, you have all the style and no invading alien will stop you.

"Superheroes / Human After All / Rock'n'Roll": a song that closes energetically, like the goodbye that doesn't make you say "It's only a matter of time before we meet again" to what brings us back to our present and makes us think only one thing ... Daft Punk are Daft Punk, in all aspects it is made for what you want it to be, they adapted to what was in front of them and always gave their best, at the same time giving the green light to those who have a dream out there, provided that if they put their mind to it and make an effort, they will achieve it.
