Well, I guess we still have M83 and Carpenter Brut to supply French synth awesomeness, but I'll really miss Daft Punk.

Add Etienne de Crecy, Phoenix, Cassius (though Zdar died not long ago), Justice, Mr oiso and Sebastian to that list

Best Daft Punk show I ever saw was Lollapalooza with LCD Soundsystem opening on the nearby stage. LCD Soundsytem closed with “Daft Punk is Playing..” and Daft Punk emerged in a pyramid and absolutely melted our faces.

2007 alive was my personal favorite set from them. They mashed up quite a bit of their all time tracks into absolute bangers.

It's so good.

I saw that at Lollapalooza and it one of the best shows I have ever seen.

I thought it was so cool afterwards to see a bunch of people covered head to toe in blue body paint like the aliens from Interstella 5555.

Sounds like they re-mastered or even re-recored touch at the end, really beautifully remixed. I'm gonna miss DP a lot, huge huge fan. Thankfully Kistune is still putting out a lot of good music.

Both artists are under 50. I would not be at all surprised if you get the chance to see them perform together again.

Eventually, everyone needs money again.

Not Bill gates, if he stops to pick-up money he loses money.

One of my regrets in life is not going to Alive 2007 because I was young and none of my friends wanted to go with me.

Ditto. My "home" venue is Red Rocks. I got invited but I didn't feel like it and didn't want to spend the $50.

Oof.

I thought RAM was already on the downturn. They peaked with Discovery and Alive 2007 in my opinion.

RAM felt producer nostalgia based, legend namedropping and such. The daft spirit was gone to me.

I mean, it’s basically the album version of “Teachers” off Homework :P

Human After All was already on the downturn. To me RAM sounds like an Air album, not a Daft Punk album. I don't consider that a bad thing though.

I thought I was the only person who thought this. Greetings thought sibling. Also not a bad thing, I like Air just fine but I expect an Air album from them, not Daft Punk.
