Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Frankenstein and Technology

In the past year, I’ve found myself listening to more and more in the way of electronic music. I’ve had an affinity for that sort of thing before then, but it’s come to fruition rather recently. I’ve really been enjoying Daft Punk; there’s something rather compelling and motivational about everything they do. Whilst I enjoy the thumping beats of their early ‘Homework’ stuff, I do enjoy the synthpop-orientated feel of ‘Discovery’, the experimental and gritty feel of ‘Human After All’, and, despite mixed opinions on it, the disco riffs of ‘Random Access Memories’. Of course, all of this is without mentioning the genius in their two live ‘Alive’ albums. I particularly like the latter of the two, the powerful 2007 performance, in which rather different songs are blended together so well it’s impossible to tell that there is a drastic difference. I've also really grown to appreciate the progressive-house power of deadmau5’s extensive discography as well as the innovative work of Justice, who are also very gifted at live performances.
