			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Daft Punk never ceases to amaze me with their music / performance / production value. I’d seen about a million clips of their 2006 Coachella performance on the web, and I’d been anxiously awaiting my copy of <em>Alive 2007</em> to come in at the library. Finally this weekend I received it, and I was blown away. I’d been very familiar with their music for many years and enjoyed all of their albums (yes I even really like <em>Human After All</em>, despite many glaring critiques).I had read online that there was talk of them releasing a DVD version of Alive 2007 so that everyone who couldn’t get to one of their live shows could see how amazing of a spectacle it really was, however the band decided not to release it simply because there <em>were</em> a million copies of their live performances online and that they couldn’t possibly please fans who’d seen their performance from so many different angles. So for those of you out there who must see a live performance they have a pretty great little Flash site that <a href="http://www.daftalive.com/" target="_blank">shows a live video</a> or you can just look on YouTube.</p>
<p>As for the <em>Alive 2007</em> album, it’s amazing. It really is the perfect album for Daft Punk fans who have all their other albums and want something new. Basically the album is divided into 12 tracks (or 13 if you get the bonus edition), each track is a mash-up of two or more of their songs (i.e. Television Rules the Nation/Crescendolls). So basically you get new interpretations of all their older songs, which in my opinion is the only way to experience Daft Punk after having listened to all their albums religiously for many years.</p>
<p>I suppose after having given the album a thorough listen my most poignant question is how do they do it? By that I mean how much of the actual performance is pre-recorded and how much is mixed as a live set? I mean they are up there pushing buttons the whole time, but do these buttons actually do anything? Who knows, but all I have to say is if you want to listen to all of your favorite Daft Punk songs in a new way, <em>Alive 2007</em> is the best way to do it, now I only have to wait a few more months for <a href="http://www.daftpunk.com/" target="_blank">Electroma</a>.</p>
