4th Studio Album

[Agent ofXana]

Posted in speculation because there is obviously no confirmation of this.

During my daily trolling of Tumblr, I came across this (http://www.lesinrocks.com/musique/musique-article/t/63005/date/2011-04-11/article/panda-bear-animal-collective-sur-le-prochain-daft-punk/).

"...the duo is already in Paris for a fourth studio album (Tron and live apart), on which musicians in the flesh bone and replace the machines..."

Although crap Google translate is crap, I was hoping someone here could give a more er...precise description? Thoughts on this?

[Thomas Bangalter]

lol Google fail, good find though!

i'm almost afraid to gets my hopes up after all the BS ones but ^_^ ~SQUEES WITH CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM~

PANDA ****ING BEARRRRRRR!!!!

That would be heaps cool if they collabed with Panda Bear.

[yiazmat]

Honestly, I would much rather see them making the album alone. But, we'll see...

[jamesrosenrosen]

Collaboration with Kraftwerk would be awesome (although there is only one original member left now)
Jean Michel Jarre would also be great.
Faithless would have been awesome, but they have split up now (although Sister Bliss on her own is still going.)
Or Röyksopp.

Yeah, I didn't really like their first 4th studio album, so hopefully this 4th studio album will blow my mind! ^^

I'm sorry I couldn't help it; don't take it personally

[Silicon]

Well, According to the whole 4 year break in between albums theory...this should be out in 2013. Oh and i think it would be cool if maybe Flying Lotus added some cool touches to the album...that would be crazy and bring a whole new dimension to DP's music.

How does that work? What came out in 2009?

[Silicon]

Nothing, im just going along with how DP had 4 years in between Homework, Discovery, and HAA. And since nothing came out in '09 it's an 8 year break...?

[Baloo]

Man, a 4th studio album! One can only imagine what it might be like.

I want to see collabs with:

DJ Falcon

Fred Falke

Eh...yeah I guess that would be correct, huh? This would be kind of fast paced for them too, with them finishing up their last project so recently. (Actually, in hindsight, they probably had that done a year before hand what with all the post production editing they had to do...I digress). I'm not against a break in the mold though! c:

also: sweetness, this thread is on the news page.

["HUMAN"]

im not taking it as read that this is true.journalists get carried away quite often.

if it is,its an interesting development.electronic music has moved on since HAA (which was an anomaly when it was released anyway) and a new direction might be a good idea.

as for collabs,i dont think daft punk should collaborate with other electronic bands (chems,royksopp,kraftwerk have been suggested) as that often tends to dilute the sounds of both acts to make a rather tepid new style.flying lotus is an interesting suggestion though,as his style is so wildly different from daft punks.

my wishlist would be:
damon albarn
andre 3000
flylo
jonsi
james murphy (lcd soundsystem)
trent reznor
tricky
3D (massive attack)
thom yorke
tunde adebimpe
mf doom
danger mouse

[jamesrosenrosen]

Yeah Damon and 3D I agree with.
Shall I suggest Rebecca Black or are we keeping this non-sarcastic? :P

[digitallove94]

The more I think about it, the more I don't want a collaboration album. However I desperately want an album so if a collab happened then a collab would have to do.

[jamesrosenrosen]

They should do a double LP, one LP with their original works and the other where they work with other artists to modify them.

[Ridley]

About collaborations... I think they'll make the music themselves, but have other musicians singing and playing, like they had Todd Edwards and Romanthony on Discovery. I doubt that they'll collaborate a lot on the actual song writing and production. But who knows.

Now this makes more sense.

[CoryC97]

If they collaborated with Damon Albarn my life would be complete.

I heard they were working on new material whilst they were making the Tron Soundtrack, so I'm guessing if the rumors are true then the album will be released early 2012.

It's not only a rumor, it's TRUE that they were working on stuff during that time. Remember "hypnotize u"? The daft punk song that Pharell sang over?

http://www.youtube.com/embed/dhFnFBkcGAY

In fact, I made a version of this song with simplified vocoder vocals to make it seem like a new DP song ;)

http://www.youtube.com/embed/no1pWYs9PPY

[rustypolished]

The LA times definitely quote Thomas as saying that they had been working on their own music concurrently with the Tron soundtrack so this honestly makes a lot of sense to me - Trying really, really hard to not get my hopes up but I can't really help it.

As for Panda Bear and stuff - I think Ridley's probably right, it seems less like a "collaboration" thing and more like a "feature" thing, a la Romanthony and what not.

The article also says something about meeting with some of the creative minds behind MJ's Thriller video which seems pretty ridiculously exciting to me. Maybe I'm reading too far into it but that kind of has a "live show" or at least a "music video" ring to it, don't you think?

[daq422]

i just want an album period. Everything that dp is involved with is always good, Or at least decent. Even if it were to be a collaboration album, DP wouldn't publish anything that they know their fans won't like.

[RobotAfterAll]

let's just hope its not a human after all in the sense that they throw something together in 6 weeks :p
Not saying that HAA was bad but id rather see something say near the end of the year with some quality, really dont wanna wait another year or two; the tron album didn't count as an album...

My thoughts exactly. We can't know this for sure, but this is what I imagine is going on, it would seem odd for Daft Punk to just randomly decide to make a full collaboration album with other artists.

[Hiroko]

I don't find that they'd do a ton of collaborating, but if it's Daft Punk, chances are I'll love it. And what's with this "replacing the machines"? They are, in the simplest definition, electronica artists. :S

Rumors are always entertaining. XD

[Baloo]

What are you guys talking about? Todd Edwards was credited as Co-Producer on Face to Face, he didn't just sing vocals. Romanthony is credited as writing One More Time with Daft Punk, but only DP is credited as producers.

[AL3X_M]

I'd love to see what Daft Punk goes for next. Seems like they always move forward in their work, and rarely ever go back on stuff. Homework was a start, then Discovery was completely different from Homework, then HAA was completely different from Discovery. Now it's a really strong electronic sound since ALIVE 2007 and especially since Tron Legacy. It'll be exciting to see what they'll create with the new people they're working with :)

All that aside, I gotta say that I'll honestly be disappointed if there's no announcement of a Tour this year because of them heading back into the Studio. Even an announcement of a tour announcement would suffice for me =/

Human after all was a very important step in house music history, it gave way and made the whole electro house scene a little more 'house-mainstream' and accessible for smaller artists at the time.



On another note...

What about a collab with:

Ah, I see. Never noticed that. ^^ But I still think they will do most of the writing and producing themselves, but collaborate with various artists on some of the songs. For example with Panda Bear, where I imagine he would sing on one or two (or three?) songs, and co-write them. And as for the Thriller-people, I guess it's mostly musicians that will only be playing instruments. But if they collaborate with Quincy Jones... that might be awesome.

Anyway, I think it's interesting that they seem to be using more live instruments for this album. If they combine the world of electronic music with more conventional instruments (like with Tron) they have more ways to experiment with their sound. Not to mention what they could do on a tour, with them in their pyramid backed up by great live musicans and singers.

I know that whatever they do, it will be amazing, so I'll just wait now and let the robots do their thing.

an additional release of a brand new stardust track maybe??

[dafttronpunk]

Daft Punk you should do a studio album with Kanye West. Why? He remixed your amazing Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger in his song Stronger and in went viral and you and West were on the Grammies as the opening act.http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/070/2/8/Kanye_West_Daft_Punk_Portrait_by_SketchbookFlavor. jpg

[digitallove94]

No. Just no. One track with Kanye is enough I think, though I'm a fan of Daft Punk (obviously) and Kanye, I don't think a collab album would work at all.

[nenime]

I, personally would prefer if the collaborations on the new album wouldn't be more influencing than were in Discovery. And I'm really truly curious what will be the concept of the new album and it's atmosphere in general. Oh man, I'm beginning to be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo impatient:D
(heck, I hope that these news are not false alarm, 'cause then I'll be devastated...)

[Silicon]

Heres who i would like to see collab with DP:
Flying Lotus
Mophono
Fake Blood
Tame Impala
Neon Indian
DANGER

[MiniEerikki]

Collaboration with Gorillaz? Yes please.

[Champiness]

Based on their previous collabs what do you think they'd go for? It's nice to name a list of our favorite artists but I think we have to be realistic... it'd have to be someone they really admire or are close friends with. Have they mentioned any favorite bands in recent interviews?

[JB909]

I remember reading somewhere that they liked MGMT's latest album: congratulations. (But, that doesnt have to mean anything in regards to possible collabs)

I've always liked the idea of them, releasing something together with Pheonix

[Daftsycle]

I like possible collabs Gorillaz,NIN,Pheonix.What about a female singer like September(or Petra)?

[daftdarlin]

I like possible collabs Gorillaz,NIN,Pheonix.What about a female singer like September(or Petra)?petra and DP? that would be sexyyy! i think gorillaz would be cool and they could do a gorillaz type video. im trying to picture a gorillatized daft punk.....

This is probably just Kanye himself making an acount to post this... he wishes Daft Punk would do an album with him

[john_marston]

If i'd pick an artist.... the chemical brothers! It would work, I just know it

[daft gamer2]

Neat, but a cool collab could be with Basement Jaxx or someone off of the We Rock label.

[Nouw]

Gorillaz and Daft Punk...interesting thought. My favourite artists making an album?

Oh and maybe they could make it Steam Punk :P. Get it? Get it?

Doubt it. I don't see DP collaborating with anybody unless it's for vocals. It's just not their style.

Hehehe. There are like twenty something people viewing this thread. Just make an account already, guys.

[Daft★Vamp]

I'd love some unknowns to get on the album.
Granted Romanthony wasn't completely unknown but he wasn't on the top charts or anything. ...actually it'd be awesome to bring him back. lmao.
I just want one sooooonnnnnn~
& this would be the year, going by their number count.
Homework -> Discovery was 4. Discovery -> Human After All was 5.
Human After All -> ? should be 6.
Buuuut I doubt they have one so I'll just sit & wait while pouting. Hahaha.

Homework - 1997
Discovery - 2001
Human After All - 2005

Four years between all of them. There was already big speculation on the forum in March 2009, but as expected nothing went down, and the theory of the year interval thing fell apart

[CoryC97]

Maybe not, but I think after Tron Daft Punk will be more interested in collaborating with live musicians, and personally I think it will make an amazing album.

[funkbeat]

Already mentioned: Röyksopp, Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz and Stuart Price - all of which I would welcome very much! That would be great.

Does anyone know much more about the rumours of the collaboration with members involved with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" ? I read that elsewhere on the forum from a news article. I am genuinely interested in this, if anyone has any more info on it....

This is far from a confirmation or anything, but Guy has that shirt he really loves to wear that reads 'Quincy Jones Thriller'...so...I mean, that's at least something, right? Quincy Jones was a producer on Thriller, it could be really cool to see them team up with him since at least Guy seems to like him a lot. (Or at least the design of that t-shirt...)

Why? They have made house for the last 15 years and they'll probably continue to do so for their next album.

I bought Merriweather Post Pavilion and I'm actually really impressed with Animal Collective, it took me a while but I can now see that they are very good!

Yeah! I just listened to My Girls and it took a bit to get into it but it's a pretty amazing song. I can totes see his voice working at least evenly if not better than Romanthony's in songs at the very least. :P

And where do you base the 2 to 3 year thing on then? Just a guess or what? :p

Well, both ways... first of all,every daft punk stdio production resulted in a live performance. So it seems to be realistic that dp will support the tron soundtrack with a tour, too. The second poit is that Daft Punk allready confirmed that there will be a tour in 2010/2011 on Daftalive.com... As some of us might know, they allready posted this statement in year 2009, but theres still hope ;)

Never say never, especially with Damon....seriously, theres rumors of a Paul McCartney and Gorillaz Collab.

Also, that Tron tour is never gonna happen, ever.

[Daft-Universe]

I don't know how relevant this can be for getting more information about Daft Punk's 4th studio album:

In an interview with Louis LaRoche he was asked, what he's mad about concerning coming music.
He said that he's mad about Dr. Dre's Detox-Album....AND "Daft Punk‘s secret album track with DJ Falcon"

It's an interview from 2010 or even 2009 I think but as far as I know there wasn't any track with Daft Punk and DJ Falcon during the past few years...
Here's the link: http://www.supersoundrecords.com/gdd%E2%84%A2-exclusive-interview-w-louis-la-roche/

Another information you get is that N.E.R.D. (Pharrell Williams and his crew) is POSSIBLY on their next album because in an interview Pharrell talked about their "meeting" with Daft Punk in which they listened to NERD's album stuff for thier album "nothing" whereas NERD listened stuff of them, including the tron Soundtrack which was not released at that date. DP produced "Hypnotize U" for them and so it can be that NERD produced something for DP's album... ;)
Here's a link of a part of that interview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlLGdA_jx0M

...besides that there's a confirmation that "Panda Bear" will appear on their album, and probably Jay-Z

I hope this could help a little bit :)

[MissingNo]

Well, both ways... first of all,every daft punk stdio production resulted in a live performance.

Well, except for that one second album. The Discovery era was an empty wasteland of Daft Punk performances


AND "Daft Punk‘s secret album track with DJ Falcon"

It's an interview from 2010 or even 2009 I think but as far as I know there wasn't any track with Daft Punk and DJ Falcon during the past few years...


I think we established at the time that it was merely La Roche trying to be funny and create some hype just because he could. Though to his credit, he did spill the beans about Daft Punk working on a movie many a years ago on this forum, so who knows?

[yiazmat]

Dear God, this whole DP x rappers thing concerns me.

[Boob Ross]

But all in all i think, the tour comes before the new album... I'm sure that both will be produced/performed one day, the question is when this will be ;) But as i said, they annouced a tour for this year so lets just focus this fact and pray to the two gods :love: and :happy2: ! :D

Sure their will be some cooperations on their new album again, we saw that at discovery... But i hope most of their new stuff will be pure Daft Punk

[Champiness]

We wanted to work with Romanthony and Todd Edwards on our first album. They didn't know who we were at the time, so it was very difficult to convince them. When we met Romanthony in Miami, he told us he was very into what we were doing, which made us very happy. They are the house producers who were the biggest influence on us. Working with them was a way for us to close the circle. It was very important for us to do that, because they are part of what we do. Now that we've worked with them, we are free to explore other areas. It will be interesting to see what we'll do next. Now we can work with other people.

Well that certainly didn't gel... I wonder at what point between 2001 and 2005 they sat down and said "you know what? Why don't we do a really mechanical album and not let anybody lay a finger on it but ourselves! Hey, maybe one of us could use a talkbox! So, what do you feel like getting for dinner? Is Chinese good?" etc. etc.

Well that certainly didn't gel... I wonder at what point between 2001 and 2005 they sat down and said "you know what? Why don't we do a really mechanical album and not let anybody lay a finger on it but ourselves! Hey, maybe one of us could use a talkbox! So, what do you feel like getting for dinner? Is Chinese good?" etc. etc.

Never noticed that. My guess is that they didn't know/couldn't get people who would fit on the album. Either that, or they wanted to convey an artistic statement using HAA. Maybe people they knew were insulting the helmets?

The real Kraftwerk or Ralf Hütter with the other three who are now known as Kraftwerk.

Since we are tossing out names, I could see them working with Gesaffelstein, that would be an awesome sound for DP.
Also after seeing The Glitch Mob live a few weeks ago, I totally think they should open for DP. Such a good fit and a seriously rockin show.

I don't think this is real. They provide no source or links to anything official. I don't know the title or artist of that song but I know I heard it at least a few months ago in a mixtape.

When Daft Punk announce something official and new, everyone will know for certain it's real. If you remember how the Tron OST was announced, the news was everwhere in a matter of minutes.

AAAAAH, But Paul said "I'm writing an album with Daft Punk", Paul Williams didn't help with Tron! He would have been credited, and everyone would have known it. That interview was posted in 2010, that's only a year ago. Besides, they would have been working on the soundtrack for Tron a few years earlier than 2010. This is not a rumor, people. Paul Williams has spoken.

hey guys been reading this forum for awhile, just decided to join in. I apologize if this video was already discussed. In addition to the video already posted in this thread, there is another Paul Williams interview from June 2011 where he mentions working with daft punk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGVDFCFRqOA

@440 he starts talking about current projects and says "I'm working with a group called daft punk"

So this doesn't really present any new information but can definitely disbar any rumors on Paul talking about Tron in the original interview. And hopefully this means they have been working on the new album for a year now.

Btw, this should be old and well known, but still exciting if you ask me:

"What’s more in that same interview the duo expressed their desire to explore new territory on their next release, making collaborations at least in the realm of possibility.

“We like the idea of trying to experiment and do different things we haven’t done in the past,” Bangalter said. “I imagine [selling out] would be finding a successful formula and sticking with it and always doing the same thing. That is not what is exciting to us.”"

EDIT: The article also said directly that they are "IN THE MOTHERFCKING STUDIO!!!!" (can't remember the realy quote but it must have been somthing like that)

It's sad because we all love their previous work, but it's also very exciting because they will do something new and amazing. I don't think they'll disappoint.

Thats hitting the Spot... It's like with Justice. Look, i LOVE their new Album but i also miss their old Style. Let's hope Daft Punk stays Electronic, even if i see them following another path

[Champiness]

If they stuck to the style their fans expected we'd never have gotten Discovery. I'm fine with them doing whatever they want; after all, it's that exact attitude that made them Daft Punk in the first place!
(It helps that everything we've heard about the album so far seems to imply it's going to be ridiculously awesome, though!)

[Ridley]

Could someone make a little summary of everything we got now? Cause i don't really get through right now?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but what has been heard so far is news about collabs; with musicians that worked with Michael Jackson on Thriller (after Tron they must've developed a taste for working with live musicians), Panda Bear (singer), Chilly Gonzales (piano-guy), Jay-Z (at least that was rumored) and Paul Williams (who says that he's "writing an album" with them).

And what you posted:

"What’s more in that same interview the duo expressed their desire to explore new territory on their next release, making collaborations at least in the realm of possibility.

“We like the idea of trying to experiment and do different things we haven’t done in the past,” Bangalter said. “I imagine [selling out] would be finding a successful formula and sticking with it and always doing the same thing. That is not what is exciting to us.”"

EDIT: The article also said directly that they are "IN THE MOTHERFCKING STUDIO!!!!" (can't remember the realy quote but it must have been somthing like that)
So, basically:
1. Trying new things!
2. Collabs!

My guess would be an album release first half of next year, followed by an epic world tour where they play using a mix of their old style (synths, ableton, etc) together with live musicians.

[Fundave]

****ing tits guys. iamdisappoint.

Remember when i posted saying that LLR told me on ustream that he "believes" daft punk have recorded an album? I think daft world mistranslated, its understandable, and now the rumour is a little out of control.

And i would like to officially restate my statement which a made a couple of months ago. My prediction, announcement for the album by march next year, album release late next year, no tour.

[DaftFrank74x]

I was on the boards for coachella and someone posted this in a Daft Punk related forum. It's not grounded in any sources except "sources around the internet" so nothing new in regards to hard information. It doesnt seem like anything substantial but hey we can dream.

Well it's a little early to be making predictions about release dates yet! Still though, the info about collaborators is all legit (save for Jay-Z perhaps). It still excites me every time I think about what they could possibly be doing with both Paul Williams and Panda Bear.

I'd actually love a kanye collab. While his album with jay-z was meh, i like his older stuff, and i think it would work out well. But a collab with jay-z? pass.

And a kanye collab wouldnt surprise me since they've already worked together, and are like, friends in real life.

Ok thanks for the little summary again... Collabs are ok, but i also want to hear some of their "own" songs! I also don't think that their will be a tour after this album. See U in 2017 ;)

I am pretty sure they said at one point that they didn't have too much to do with the creation of 'Stonger'. The samples were just used, however the Grammy show was more of a collab from both parties.

6)We all know you’ve remixed Daft Punk: how was it working with them?

We are excellent friends, so I remixed some of their music. We are all waiting for their next album. I think that the soundtrack they proposed for Tron Legacy last year was something different from an album. It was an experiment, a new exercise. :eek:

We just have to wait! :happy2:

AND...New Image in the official Daft Punk Site and Facebook Page !! :

Last SebastiAn interview in Rome:

6)We all know you’ve remixed Daft Punk: how was it working with them?
We are excellent friends, so I remixed some of their music. We are all waiting for their next album. I think that the soundtrack they proposed for Tron Legacy last year was something different from an album. It was an experiment, a new exercise. :happy2:

COMPLETE INTERVIEW:

At his live set in Rome at The Paris Rockin party, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting dj and French producer SebastiAn, member of Ed Banger record label. His Primary Tour is a smart dj-set, with great music and incredible visuals. Could SebastiAn be the right candidate to replace Sarkozy? I would call him “Le Nouveau Robespierre”. :rolleyes:

1)How’s life with Ed Banger? How’s the relationship with your label?

My work with the Ed Banger’s crew is quite simple, natural and spontaneous. Indeed, we all live in the same area in Paris. To me it’s not only a job but, first and foremost, it is a great friendship too. We are a family of artists, we often have dinner together and we talk about ideas and future projects. The boss of the label is Busy P, who behaves like a father to the crew. He has a lot of experience in the world of entertainment.

2)Which are the artists who have influenced your music the most?

When I was young I was very impressed by Dj Premiere. How he used to play music, how he used to produce it, was breathtaking. Generally I listen to a lot of different music. Very alternative. Another one off the top of my head is Billie Holiday.

3)What are your future projects?

I want to make another album soon, keep on remixing a lot of other artists’ tracks and continue with my tour, The Primary Tour.

4)Which singer would you like to produce in the near future?

I would like to work with John Legend, you know…when you meet someone interesting, you tell yourself: “Right, I want to produce him”. The idea comes in a second, like a bolt out of the blue.

5)Which is the artist that you dream of producing one day?

Definitively Prince.


6)We all know you’ve remixed Daft Punk: how was it working with them?

We are excellent friends, so I remixed some of their music. We are all waiting for their next album. I think that the soundtrack they proposed for Tron Legacy last year was something different from an album. It was an experiment, a new exercise.

7)How was your experience with Uffie?

We are old friends. I met Uffie when I started working at Ed Banger. She was a young girl from Miami and we became friends before starting to collaborate. The same story goes for Mr Oizo and Dj Feadz.

8)How do you produce your music?

I make use only of the computer, G5 and Cubase. At the moment, thanks to the computer, I don’t need anything else.

9)When will you release your next album?

Really soon. I’ve already started producing it. Next month I will present my new single Love in Motion together with a video.

Might just be some random tb303 sound. Maybe it is something, maybe not...But i think it had been created just for the live show. (falls du das meinst)

[bladez]

Yeah, they were so close of friends, that they sent the actors from Electroma to be in Kanye's music video. It isn't them. :P

It was Peter Herteau and Michael Reich, who also do a lot of media appearances for DP.

What kind of media appearances, do you have any examples?

Unfortunately he didn't provide a source. It kind of sounds like he spoke to busy p directly but i cant understand french and google translate is ****.

their last media appearance was for TRON which Im sure they did not get anyone to fill in for them as im sure you know... I doubt bladez has any credible sources at all

I know there are some members from France, can anyone give a more accurate translation . Even if the source is questionable, a quote from Busy P is at least a step even farther down the path to a new album.

That's what I was thinking as well. I can only think of a few cases where they used actors. Not "a lot".

So, I sense a kind of pattern...this is all just theoretical, so bear with me...Homework was a pretty even combination of Guy's and Thomas' tastes, with Thomas' "harder" style and Guy's seemingly more soulful, Chicago House-influenced style. Discovery seems like it leaned a lot more towards Guy's style, with it being a lot warmer and smoother and sample-based. Human After All seemed closer to Thomas' style, being harder and more minimalistic. Now we hear rumors about this next album involving R&B musicians and the like - perhaps this will fall into the pattern and lean more towards Guy's style? I mean, don't get me wrong, each album was obviously a pretty even collaboration between the two, but by looking at each of their non-Daft Punk works you can pretty easily see what songs were closer to whose personal style. Another way of looking at it would be that Homework is a pretty even combination of Human and Robot, Discovery (and Interstella 5555) is more Human, Human After All (despite the title) and Electroma are more Robot, and thus it makes sense that next album may be either more Human or a more even combination of Human and Robot.

To me, I think it'd be very interesting to see a sort of Homework for the 21st century. I think this is all the more possible since a lot Daft Punk fans obviously want the more Disco-y vibe that Discovery and some Homework songs had, and that smoother Electro House (like a lot of Guetta's stuff) is currently really popular...It seems to match since Homework had the really hard edge with the soulful vibe...I don't know :D

Interesting analysis!

I really really hope there is no R&B involved with anything of theirs. Unless it's old-school rhythm and blues, do NOT want.

As for me, I'd compelled to not make speculation. :p You can't really read these guys.

Yeah, I was using R&B in a broad way (including funk, post disco, "new jack swing", soul, etc...) :)

And yep, we really can't read them - it's still fun to speculate though :D

I can completely follow your thesis, however it falls kind of flat as what you've described isn't a pattern, really.
Both --> Guy --> Thomas, is how you look at it, and, quite frankly, that's not a pattern since there are no repeats in any of this. Furthermore, the assumption of this 'pattern' repeating after three steps is quite large and lacking any real foundation - Though, I'm fully aware that this is merely speculation from your part -, and also the assumption that there actually is a pattern is one equally as big as the previous. Daft Punk have previously proven to have little to no interest in patterns (The OUTRAGEOUS lack of anything, March 09, 4 years after Human After All, 8 years after Discovery, 12 years after Homework)

[Iwasderezzed]

more guy is always a good thing

Yeah, the pattern certainly isn't provable - but that doesn't mean that one can't predict the pattern. I agree though that they've shown little interest in patterns in past, but what I described may be more of an unconscious thing. Still though, it's just a theory - a guess. It's certainly not a thesis :)

Ok so this is why i think DP is taking so long releasing a new album and what i think DP are doing (strategy-wise) for their next album.
Everybody has a favorite song on an album (that go-to song) so what i think what they're doing is making an album amount of songs (probably about 14 more or less) and choosing the very best song out of those, and shelve the rest, then they repeat the process over and over again until they have a perfect album of just perfect amazing tracks in order to make a breathtaking new album

[avengeance]

do you think they probably just come at the project again after a certain amount of times. they tend to work on something take a break from it for a while then come back at a new approach and more knowledge.

[Fundave]

Mabye they arent doing anything new at all, and there is no new project. Just sayin.

I once posted an interview with Chilly Gonzales, perhaps in this thread, I can't be bothered going through all that again, where he states he's been working with Daft Punk on their new project

And I don't see how that video contributes to the conversation.

[Fundave]

Well he's working with daft punk there isnt he

[MissingNo]

Okay, SERIOUS TIME. Interview from 2011.

http://www.sortiraparis.com/scenes/concert/articles/42687-interview-l-inqualifiable-chilly-gonzales

Read it, translate it, realize

[Fundave]

Meh, 6 months later and not a word from either party, who knows what happened to that.

[MissingNo]

Because we all know Daft Punk are pretty up front about what they're up to

[Fundave]

but at least paul williams has said it in a few interviews.

Edit: fyi, i do think there's an album (or perhaps that mass effect 3 soundtrack) in the works, but i just want to point out nothing is concrete. Ive read too many things that make it seem certain which it is most certainly not.

[gerbilboy]

fundave, how about being less cynic and more fun?

[Boob Ross]

fundave, how about being less cynic and more fun?

haha lol. I dont think they are like "lets produce a new album now". They are in buiss for quiet a long time, i guess they have many many unreleased samples "in store" from every era. If they feel ready to release Album Nr. 4 they'll take some of their samples, change them abit, do some arrangement, make 2 or 3 new ones, put in their mistourius "new Style" and there we go.

[john_marston]

It's a shame though we haven't heared A THING in 2011. In daft punk history 2011 is going down as the year:
- Tron: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D was released by Disney and:
- The 1994 single Drive was released by Soma

I hope They'll announce a 4th album in the start of next year, perhaps when they get a grammy :P

I rated this thread 5*s btw cuz i like it :D

[NaiZeni]

No doubt you have seen the recent post about leaked information from Virgin Records regarding a new Daft Punk album. This combined with sightings of Daft Punk going in and out of studios and the newly updated Daft Punk website has caused a bit of havoc. I wanted to ask what does the community believe. Will a new album be released this year? Or is this just a tease?

[Hero Robot#1]

Nope.

[MissingNo]

The year is still young, so there's really no way of telling if they'll put anything out in the next 11½ months, and quite obviously they're working on something, as they said they had been working on some of their own stuff during the Tron Legacy hiatus.

[theworldisdaft]

There will be a new album, Thomaf and Guyf told me so.

[digitallove94]

An album could come out this year easily, depends on how long they want to spend in the studio and what not, if it is like HAA then of course it could be released this year.

[Iwasderezzed]

they might not even be in the studio... paul williams mighta got his groups mixed up, he might be working with paft dunk instead of our friends daft punk

I completely agree here. The year has only started and they have been working on new material. I like to take my wishful thinking even further that with the studio time, new website design and leaked info will give us...

Drum roll please



A new album that is followed up with an announcement to have a tour!

[digital*aria]

there are SO many threads on this. thread merged.
