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.

If anyone wants some really good, creative IDM with a lot of hooks, I recommend checking out Xploding Plastix' 2008 album. It sounds nothing like their nu-jazz debut but it really does rock.

That video for the Herndon song looks awesome, that album has some really nice tracks.

I think it's pretty interesting to look at. Some very well done visuals that strike some uncanny balance between real and unreal. One of my favourite music videos tbh

Just because electronic music has progressed / evolved since Daft Punks' time does not make it necessarily better.

Daft Punk is good pop / dance music. The recommendations you have given are solid, but really don't do what Daft Punk did BETTER.

I still listen to them on occasion, and I doubt that will ever change to be honest.

Just as I will continue to listen to Yes and Aphex Twin and Pinback and ...
