Proof that "aura rock" might be in album 4

[gerbilboy]

Ok first of all, if there's a thread like this already, sorry, mods you can delete ;)

Ok, first go to DP's Myspace.

The see the music payer, it has a song from each album IN ORDER, see here

Da Funk: Homework
HBFS: Discovery
HAA: HAA (lol)

AND!

Too long "XX" Steam machine

what is "XX", on the album, it says Too long/Steam machine, what's "XX"?????

I think you know what it is. When the 4th album comes out, that song will be replaced by the song we nicknamed "aura rock". I KNOW IT.

What do you guys think?

[DaftPunkFan37]

I think the XX is more Steam Machine + Too Long, or Steam Machine/Too Long. I wouldn't expect it to

[gerbilboy]

I think the XX is more Steam Machine + Too Long, or Steam Machine/Too Long. I wouldn't expect it to

Well that's what I thought at first, but what about the coincidences!? Also, why put 2 x's ?

[LITHIUM]

My screen doesn't show two XXs, and they couldn't have switched it as they haven't logged in since May.

Also, if the albums are in order of release, then the track fits nicely where Alive 2007 should be.

I'm not saying that Aura rock won't be on the next album, but I don't think that they are the type to really give us any clues about their next album.

[gerbilboy]

here's what I see right now: http://www.zshare.net/image/61473712ac2f7276/

Also, I'm sot saying that they changed it today, it's just that I noticed TODAY.

[AvocadoBaby1212]

well although i doubt it will be on the next album, wasn't short circuit part of their Alive 1997 show? and that came out on their next album

[spamwichx]

Interesting.
But I think the 'XX' is there to seperate what's there.
Or you could be correct.
Only Daft Punk knows.
I wish I could read their minds.

[Alive]

Its xx because / would make the name invalid

[hani]

omg I want this to be so true but I think this is not possible :(

[boombagirl]

xx will be a mystery like the daft gang.

[axelF]

Only Daft Punk knows

[herrn]

aura rock sucks anyways

[Akkazento]

i wouldnt say it sucks but i quite dont like it that much

[churro]

aura rock sucks anyways

You think it sucks!! Well everybody has their own opinion.

Anyways, I believe aura rock will be in the 4th album (if there is such a thing), more proof could be the style of rhythm used in around the world/HBFS.

PS Also wouldn't it be cool if the song was on the next album and was titled "aura rock"

[The Steampunk]

I wish it will NOT be on the next album.

Think about it : I'll prefer Daft Punk to make NEW tracks on their 4th album instead of re-using the "Aura Rock" track that we know already from the live.

Imagine that Discovery was made with Alive 1997 sampled tracks. Wouldn't that sucked ?

[B.E.A.S.M]

Well that's what I thought at first, but what about the coincidences!? Also, why put 2 x's ?

it's what a lot of people do, the only reason they used the the 2 X's was because back when that was uploaded the myspace player didn't allow certain characters, including a slash.

[rdkl]

"xx" is just instead of "/" which you can't use in names in the myspace player

[Alive]

I wish it will NOT be on the next album.

Well, short circuit was made like that

[gerbilboy]

"xx" is just instead of "/" which you can't use in names in the myspace player

Oh well, we can always hope!

Also, in alive 1997, there was only a small part of short circuit used. Maybe in alive 2007, we only heard a part of the new song. Maybe?

[daftpunkpsycho]

i see that too. maybe your right. but maybe its just a seperation who knows. theyre very mysterious lol :happy:

[Akkazento]

vote for conspiracy theories :P it could be possible but area 51 is still unknown...

[staceylala]

I doubt the word 'Proof' is needed in the title of this thread, as it literally isn't proof.
And tbh, I doubt 'Aura rock' would be on the new album.

[Aimforthehead]

I hope Aura Rock is on the next album. And if it's any hint at to what kind of style the 4th album will have, I know I'll love it. ;D

And as for this 'xx' thing... eh, pretty sure it's just a separator like some others said. But interesting thought anyways.

[NiteShade]

XX doesnt mean like question mark or mystery tune or something. it means + (like Too long+ Steam Machine). i seriously doubt they will have this on their 4th album,let alone having one in the near future.

[Champiness]

Well, I doubt that the "xx" means anything, as pretty much any Alive 2007-related video on YouTube uses them to indicate the mixing of two songs in tracks with no extended improvs, i.e. "Steam Machine xx Da Funk xx Daftendirekt". That being said, I do see the possibility of Too Long / Steam Machine's presence on their MySpace player as implying something. While both Too Long and Steam Machine are great tracks, they aren't exactly the kind of super-smash megahits you'd expect DP to use to represent their new live album. The fact that they used a performance with almost nothing to do with their own tracks seems to say that there's more than meets the eye to it...

That's exactly what I thought. There are clearly more popular songs they mixed, why would they happen to chose a track with a new song in it?

[rdkl]

We all know daft punk aren't all about pleasing the mainstream crowd, maybe it just happens to be their own favourite from alive 07

[gerbilboy]

Well, I would say that most of their fans are "mainstream".

Well that was part of my theory, the most popular song from each album, but why that one from Alive 07?

[douglasr007]

"xx" has been up there ever since they uploaded the song onto their MySpace. I will go with the "/" making the title not allowed.

[upset_clown]

more than meets the eye

Lol random as.

[B.E.A.S.M]

Imagine that Discovery was made with Alive 1997 sampled tracks. Wouldn't that suck?

Short Circuit was born from a sample from Alive 1997. So, actually, they did just that.

[The Steampunk]

Hmm, are you sure it's was a original sample used like others ? I think they made it before, back in their studios, but you're maybe right...

And, yes they used Short Circuit in Discovery, but they edited & improved it, and they just picked this one ;)

[melkoret]

We all know daft punk aren't all about pleasing the mainstream crowd, maybe it just happens to be their own favorite from alive 07

I believe this to be the most probable.

Think about it for a moment if you will:

Daft Punk want to attract people to their live album yes?

What better way than to intro material that is completely new sounding?

Also on the other hand, Aura Rock would also probably be their favorite since it is the most-complete, mostly-new, track on the album.

Its the one song on the album where its name has the least to do with the actual track. Steam Machine is barely-barely in the second part of the song, which is dominated by the new sounds that very easily could stand on their own as part of a all new stand-alone track.

As far as the whole "xx" thing goes, that part of the song title on myspace was their from day one, before even such interviews and such where Daft Punk basically said they weren't even sure what they were doing next!!

Bottom Line: This inst proof of anything.
As much as I'd LOVE it to be on album 4... ;(

["HUMAN"]

we still dont even know whether what we call aura rock isnt just a (completely bleedin' awesome) interlude or random jam that dp made while mixing steam machine and too long and decided to leave in there.i remember in the daft chat thing in 2007 someone asked about the song in between s.m. and t.l on alive 2007 and daft punk seemed a bit confused by the question,responding with something like "the tracklisting is clear".so there may be no aura rock at all.and the xx are,as everyone else has already said,just a means of dividing the two song names.

[DJPixcell]

yeah.. no.

Its just like putting a "+" or "/"

I think the lack of new stuff from Daft Punk has gotten some users a little bit too speculative.. (no offense, I don't mean to)

[CuBuLo]

Well I wouldn't say they "improved" it, I like the 1997 version better.

Listen to the whole track. I find it much better than the Discovery Short Circuit.

1997 Version is a Million times better by far in my opinion

wow, i've never heard that before! that's awesome, thanks for sharing.

[Juniper]

um, I'm not in this thread much, so what's Aura Rock? Is it the du du du du du du song from Alive 2007? If so, that's my fav song IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Also, my bro is teaching me how to play it on the keyboard for my bday pres. :happy2:

[NightShark]

um, I'm not in this thread much, so what's Aura Rock ?
Aura Rock is what we fans call the new synth in the middle of Too Long/Steam Machine.

Its a Fan Name for all the unidentified parts of "Steam Machine / Too Long". So basically, YES :P


( even though the du du du du is Steam Machine. )

[Psylark]

I wish it will NOT be on the next album.

Erm, Short Circuit?

I wouldn't mind Aura Rock on 4th album

Infact, I wouldn't mind 4th album altogether

NAO

[deRohan]

I'm pretty sure XX is a way to put and or conjoined or something of that nature. But hopefully Aura Rock will be on there new album.

[Martin Prodigy]

I don't think it's going to be on the new album.
Probably everything on the new record is completly new stuff and we still haven't heard anything of it before,
or maybe they give us a song that bases on "Aura Rock".

[me, andre]

exactly what I think
even if it appears in the new album, I don't think that they'll put it as it appears in alive 2007, i think

[Louis La Roche]

haha Daft Punk never said Aura Rock was going to be on the next album!

They said that its a teaser to the sound of the next album. In other words, its what direction they're going in for the next album.

[piroteki]

(moved this to the new Speculation forum, since it is speculation on the next album.)

personally i don't really buy that "Aura Rock" is it's own song. i don't feel like it's new material, so i don't feel like it would at all be on a forthcoming album. i think they arrived at what we call "Aura Rock" by tweaking one of their pre-existing songs. like i've had several theories, but lack the musical knowledge, abilities, and tools to experiment with and/or prove said theories.

[PC Chongor]

It's just a semi-improvisational bridge they used in between the two songs. Really, I think it was just a way for them to put their "RME Voyagers" to use, bridge the two songs together smoothly, as well as use the time to compensate for any changes they might have to make for the rest of the show.

I would be disappointed to see it on the new album because it's just a three simple Moog melodies going through a gradual tempo change and some filter tweaks. My guess is that the Moog sound is going to be a huge part of the next album (they really like arpeggiators too), but "Aura Rock" will not be an actual track because it is way too simple.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but if you listen carefully, the live version of "Aerodynamic" (as well as its entirely new intro) has some new sounds that I definitely think will show up in the next album too.

[Psylark]

That being said, I do see the possibility of Too Long / Steam Machine's presence on their MySpace player as implying something.

The only thing I see is how it's a favorite from each album. HW, Discovery, HAA, and they thought they should put a song from Alive 2007 up on there because it shows what they are like live, and possibly hinting about their future.

Even though Aura Rock would be good on Album 4, I would hope for some all new material.

of course, i think we all hope for some new material but i would really like Aura Rock to be in the 4th album. but remember that the song will be way different than when we heard it live......bc it's going to be remixed and mastered.:happy:

[Champiness]

If opinion mattered more than popularity on their player, I have a feeling that the other 3 tracks wouldn't be Da Funk, HBFS, and HAA. Admit it: at least when it comes to public relations, DP tries to please the masses. Too Long and Steam Machine are great tracks, but they were hardly popular. Unless they suddenly decided they didn't care, that probably means they have something planned for that improv. As always, we don't have even the tiniest clue what that is, but I think that at the very least this suggests that something is up.

[evilstereo]

That's what I always thought, Champiness. They could have put the Grammy winning ATW/HBFS up, but they chose that one.

Also: I bet if Daft Punk chose the other tracks based on favorites instead of popularity, Rollin' and Scratchin' would have showed up (they seem to love that track).

[ION14]

well although i doubt it will be on the next album, wasn't short circuit part of their Alive 1997 show? and that came out on their next album

I didn't remember hearing any bits of Short Circuit on Alive '97, but I could be wrong.

[Akkazento]

look for the borealis set because the cd recording is incomplete...

[Champiness]

Or I could just link it (http://www.zshare.net/audio/627502113dc8bded/) and save us all a long wait.
It's because Short Circuit started out as this that we all believe that Aura Rock may be on a similar path (I was, in fact, one of the first to theorize this).

[Mr. Hoosteen]

aura rock sucks anyways

ooohhhhh maaahhh ggawwwwwddddd!

How dare u!!!!!
