" More Spell On You " was actually produced by Daniel Vangarde (a.k.a Thomas Bangalter's father). It might be the reason why Daft Punk were able to avoid legal complications.
TFA says "More Spell On You" was cleared.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That one is a lot more enlightening as to the creative process for this kind of music. (Of course the prodigy didn't do it like that, all point and click. There would have been a lot more twiddling of knobs and generally wigging out with actual hardware.)
IIRC, the Prodigy's Liam claimed to have written one album in bed using Propellorheads' Reason (then moved to the studio to finish off in pro-tools). I know I've done stuff just point and click on the train home from work in both ableton live and Reason. It's not quite as fluid as having a real keyboard (or other instruments around), but it is completely doable.
> Anyone can put a urinal on the wall and call it art I normally don't read Slate because of stuff like this; apparently it was a mistake to give them another chance.
> A lot of people will see this video as proof of how building songs from samples takes a keen ear and a lot of skill: You’re not just “stealing” something, you're transforming it. Others will see it as proof of the opposite: Anyone can put a urinal on the wall and call it art. Of course, those people didn’t put a urinal on the wall, and they aren’t Daft Punk.
Nitpicking, but that comment in the closing paragraph is jarring: "Anyone can put a urinal on the wall and call it art". It's clearly a reference to Marcel Duchamp's Fountain - a key work in the argument of what is and isn't art. However, that urinal, and its reproductions, were pointedly never mounted on a wall, but flat on a pedestal where it couldn't be used. It's like the author had heard the phrase but didn't kn…
"Anyone can put a urinal on the wall and call it art" I'm not sure this is too far from the point of duschamp's piece, which is that you can "put anything on a pedastal" and the "sign it", and as long as it's done by someone with a certain "aura", such an act becomes transformative. The "wall" and the "pedastal" need not be taken literally, IMHO. There is a whole "deconstruct the art gallery" theme that followed. Thi…
I want to say "see also: Banksy", but I don't know if that idea is completely thought out.

If I recall correctly Andy Warhol used to do exactly this (sign everyday items, including urinals). He called it "ready made art." I want to say "see also: Banksy", but I don't know if that idea is completely thought out.

Not how the song was made, 'One more time' was released in 2000 but Ableton 1 in 2001. Nevertheless, ableton is an amazing piece of software and always fun to recreate songs http://www.whosampled.com/Daft-Punk/One-More-Time/

It was made "with these samples, in this order, from this song". Not made "with this specific software".
I think we can agree that overanalyzing a hastily-posted article is pointless.

I once saw Liam walking along the street of Sarm studios around the time that 'Always outnumbered never outgunned' must have been in production: http://www.sarmstudios.com/ - I assume he came out of there. It's a touch more advanced setup than Reason ;) Although if I had to guess which album he made on Reason I reckon it's that one.
I doubt the latest album 'Invaders Must Die' was done on Reason alone because of the quality of the synths used. Although again he could have just programmed the rough idea on Reason and then used the midi-notes to drive high-end synth.
