DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
Pharrell is on the new Daft Punk album
Matty:
i think this is just as fresh as discovery, but a totally different sound. going back to the roots. i can't remember anyone producing a record like this in the modern era that sounded so good. like a high definition take on classic funk and soul, blending in electronic and experimental elements. even on the webrip the analog style recorded comes through strong. organic, disco shit 8)

this is anything but high definition to me. the vocoder and talk box voices are very generic, it's really my main gripe with the album. the voices are terrible, no funk, no energy, boy do the days of "harder better faster stronger" seem remote. there are few experimental elements. the songs with Pharrell, and Giorgio Moroder are underwhelming, and the slow paced songs are dull, as opposed to the ones on Discovery. I thought Get Lucky would be just an appetizer but it happens to be the best song of the record.
discovery really added a new twist to funk influences, with crazy songs like aerodynamics or harder better faster stronger. except for the song with Giorgio Moroder, the first song and Get Lucky there's not much noteworthy.
If we talk about funk-influenced records, I much prefer stuff Breakbot has put out over the last 4 years + artists like Shook or Bag Raiders.
I never thought I'd be saying this, but Doggmaster's album, Injection 2008), is a much better take on blending funk influences with a modern sound, and the talkbox playing is superior. and the budget is way inferior too.
I was talking about the new Daft Punk album with my homie yesterday and I was like "i can't believe they'd drop something average like that" and he told me "well it's leaked so they could very well be fucking with the fans by not giving the actual album", lol.
Matty:
i love breakbot and all that stuff but this sounds way more true to the old school analog sound than anything recent i can think of. isn't quite as upbeat as i may have liked, but the gentle touch is really refreshing next to all this really loud, compressed music.
i kinda agree on some of the vocals, i don't feel like they always add as much as they could. but give me a whole album of nile rodgers over these sweet sounding drums any day.
vinyl rip is out in the wild 8)

Top notch production, wow. This one is a grower for sure, you can tell that there is a lot of attention to details. I know what I will bump this summer
