Daft Punk’s Electroma beautiful but plodding
Johns Hopkins News-Letter – Sep 27, 2007
It was not a terrible idea for a movie. But there were some issues. First of all there is no Daft Punk music in this movie. The music was fitting forgettable unlike the music-driven Interstella 5555 an animated featured for which Daft Punk provided the music and inspiration. The mostly mellow music was a letdown for previous Daft Punk fans – that is everyone in attendance – who are used to deliveries of bass-driven orgies of electronica. Indeed the lack of original music from Daft Punk had one moviegoer lamenting “That didn’t have a [expletive]-ing thing to do with Daft Punk!”.

First there's the Missingmen the new band the former Minutemen bassist-singer appears with at 6:30 p. Saturday at the Normal Heights festival's Rock Stage.
