It's not a US perspective, that journalist is just massively out of touch.
I'm not sure of their actual commercial performance, but their cultural impact is widespread in the US. To the Pitchfork/Coachella crowd they're living legends and RAM was perhaps the most anticipated album this year.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoDidn't they also do the entire soundtrack for the new Tron film? Obscure? Hardly!
- eridius 13y agoIt wasn't a film so much as it was the world's longest music video.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI'd agree with this.
- geon 13y agoThey have done that before, with Inter Stella 5555. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8PrIzCX5mI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8PrIzCX5mI
- Falling3 13y agoDon't forget Electroma. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk's_Electroma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk's_Electroma
- ihuman 13y agoThey only directed Electroma; they didn't do the music.
- nivla 13y agoCan't watch it from the U.S.: "This video contains content from WMG, SME, Dance all Day, CD Baby, Warner Chappell, UMPG Publishing and EMI, one or more of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. Sorry about that."
- ANTSANTS 13y agohttp://youtu.be/WgJGc-wRS9g?t=58s http://youtu.be/WgJGc-wRS9g?t=58s Not the best quality, but it works. Interstella 5555 was co-produced by Leiji Matsumoto (Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999...), by the way, who Daft Punk were huge fans of as children. Need I say any more?
- nivla 13y agoAwesome! Thank You :)
- jedberg 13y agoI'm not sure if you are saying that just because or because you know that what you say is actually true. Tron: Legacy was actually the first movie where the soundtrack was made before the film was finished, and the film was actually edited to fit the music (all other movies are scored after the final edit and the music is fit to the film).
- photex 13y agoYou have a source for that information?
- jedberg 13y agoI don't have a linkable source. I heard it directly from an industry insider and apparently no one seems to have talked about it publicly. :( I guess you'll just have to take it with a grain of salt.
- anigbrowl 13y ago(all other movies are scored after the final edit and the music is fit to the film) In theory yes, but it happens more often than you'd think. A lot of editors cut to music - if the score isn't available, they'll often cut to some classical piece that can be freely used as a basis for the score without copyright worries. It's an easy way of making sure your edit has rhythm.
