Free Music Notes for Alive 2007Free Music Review: OUT OF PRINT COOL TO THE MAX! Hit: 5 Stars
lets crack it open shall we..
review wise i have the USA
distribution of this..and i paid $75 for it.
the alive 2007 limited-E was out of print the day it was released..
1. When you get the "disk" you are greeted with literally a cd jewel case sized, 1/2 inch think hard cover book, and its a book in every sense of the word, internal fabric based binding and all! On the cover is the alive logo and stuck to it is the blue daft punk sticker, luckily the sticker is one of those super easy removable ones. As for the cover its all gloss black and made really well. The back cover features a full track listing in "alive" blue. AND for once, the copy right info on the back does not threaten you within an inch of your life!!!
2. Turn the cover to open it, on the back side of the cover is where disk one lives, happily resting snuggly in its matt black-thick paper-folder, and this folder thing is firmly bound to the cover...like a how a record would live in its sleeve. On the right is a page of high density black mat paper, its a good place to put the sticker by the way..turn the page to see the actual book.
3. The book is actually pretty cool, filled with images of the stage, daft punk, the alien triangle and all its glowing glory, the concert setup and what not. Although for the cost of today, meaning the out of print cost..its not too spectacular, but for the original list price it was sold at.. yea i would say its a huge bonus. After the 50 pages...turn the final page to the back side of the back cover, This is where disk 2 lives. Again its snuggly living in a sleeve.
4. To the disks!, side the disks out to view, the disks are like the cover, jet black with just the alive logo, and "daft punk Alive 2007". Its super simplistic and very cool. As for the CD-R it self, its of standard release grade, best to archive them as they are going to scratch easily, best they remain in the book FAR AWAY from high speed drives and car stereos.
5. THE MUSIC, disk one is pure ear candy. 12 continuous meshed tracks covering over 20+ mixes, an entire concert from start to finish with the crowd. The opening track throws you right into the mix and primes you for whats to come. Towards the center things really start heating up with high speed -almost perfect mixes of all there major tracks, and towards the end you will rocking out with the crowd to last second. Sound quality is clear with great highs, mids and bass.I would say the CD achieves max allowed sound range..Owners of large stereos with subs shall very be pleased. Headphone wise lots of channel changes and ear candy..IE they should get an A for mastering.
Disk two: EXTRA MIXES! and VIDEO! WELL WORTH IT! THEY SOUND AWESOME!!!
video is very cool BUT! it does not show the giant triangle with its full projection screens on!!! its mostly of just the light show and the fans..
THE JIST.
One, i would imagine one would think its crazy
to pay $75 to over $100 for this thing.
Especially when its probably floating about on the net.
but Alive 2007 LE is not about data on plastic
its about the spirit of music..
and the fact when you buy a CD or record you should get something
concrete for your money!!!! For those who went go see alive its well worth it, a memento from an Awesome Concert. For those who did not go, well its as close to it as one can get...i mean you pick it up and whoa..
as if the giant triangle just planted it self in your front yard..
IE OUT OF PRINT COOL TO THE MAX!
Alive 2007 PosterRecorded at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, an 18,000-capacity sports arena in Paris, on June 14th, 2007. The CD captures the exuberant multi-media spectacle of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's first hometown show in 10 years in front of a capacity crowd of thrilled fans. For fans of brazen electronic music, few acts offer the longevity, consistency, and booty-shakin' insistence of Daft Punk. In a kind of tenth anniversary celebration of the Parisian duo's limited-edition live album Alive 1997, Alive 2007 captures a long and sweaty concert performed before 18,000 hometown fans. There's almost nothing by way of original material here, though the performance culls all of Daft Punk's many notable singles from their uncompromising debut, Homework, the merciless Human After All; and the opulent, seminal Discovery (including lead single "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," which garnered renewed fame as the predominant sample buoying "Stronger," from rapper Kanye West's third album, Graduation). Regardless, devoted Parisians had weathered a full decade without a live performance, and the ecstatic, roof-raising release captured in this recording testifies to Daft Punk's inimitable position as one of the world's top electro-house phenomena. More importantly, perhaps, by fusing two or more "songs" per "track," Alive 2007 pulls off what 2003's remix/rarities album, "Daft Club," could not: namely, mixing the band's back catalogue with the kinetic fervor it deserves. At the end of the day (or the decade), no one does Daft Punk like Daft Punk. --Jason Kirk
