Sure thing. Live 2002 by Mika Vainio, Alva Noto, and Ryoki Ikeda.

Daft Punk aren't my favorite electronic artists out there, but Discovery is masterclass when it comes to house music and Homework and HAA, while flawed, have their moments as well. Alive 2007 is their best album imo because they take songs from those three albums and they combine them into these super bombastic and flashy mashups that sound great in their own right. It's a really unique and creative performance and they deserve kudos for it, no matter how ****ty you think they are.

Listening now. Is this going to be 45 mins of minimalist glitch? If so I might have to dip early in.

Ja, microsound. Pretty hypnotic imo.

Do you like Actress?

That's just one out of thousands too. Electronic music is in an incredibly exciting place right now and while Daft Punk does have a notable influence, we've gotten so far past them and are into much more interesting territories.

Sure. Like I said, I don't think Daft Punk are the greatest. I like a ton of electronic artists more than them but they deserve appreciation for making good music when they make good music. If we're talking electronic duos I'd take Xploding Plastix over them any day.

Never heard of him. I have to get through this live album you gave me first and the album Batlord gave me. I love love love electronic music though so keep the recs coming.

That I agree with. Whether or not that applies to Daft Punk is another story though.

Definitely check out all of OPN and Actress's stuff. I have a huge boner for Arca and weird IDM **** like Autechre and Pan Sonic (plus anything that's connected to those two--that Live 2002 album is an example).

tbh I'd be down for a thread where I can just get recommended electronic music. It'd be nice to widen my horizon.
