Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
Daft Punk - Alive 2007
Daft Punk has certainly received mixed reviews in the past and been dished their fair share of ups and downs. One thing is certain, though: If the show that was performed at the Palais Omnisports in Paris was half as good as the album that resulted, the French duo has done more than settle any hard feelings. The album, recorded in June 2007, is their second live album, following their debut album in 1997.
Disappointment was in the air after the release of "Human After All" in 2005, which left fans wanting. Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the artists behind the robot suits and electronic voices, rose to the occasion with "Alive 2007", which captures their stunning performance before a crowd of 18,000. The album's smooth transitions and mixing on songs like "Around the World" and "Harder Better Faster Stronger" transform already innovative music into pure excellence.

Awesome mix
Upon initially receiving this album, I was a little worried it would be repetitive at times like Daft Punk's songs on their other albums. Don't get me wrong I really love Discovery and Human After All (and some from Homework), but I can only handle so much before I get bored.
However, Alive 2007 sounds so amazing. I'm very satisfied with the way they mixed the songs together and changed up some of their sounds. I'm not always articulate with my words, so I'll just say that any Daft Punk fan should love this as well as some others that may normally find them too repetitive. This album makes me crave for more tour dates so I can finally see them live!

In one word, incredible.
I've always liked Daft Punk, for me, but their albums never stay in rotation for more than a couple weeks without getting old. This live cd, on the other hand, is absolutely amazing-- I've had it for a few months now, and it still blows my mind.
You really feel the energy of the crowd in these songs, and you feel like you're right there if you close your eyes. I've heard the live show is "the best concert anyone has ever been, or will go, to", in the words of a friend. This album does a pretty good job of getting that point across.
The remixes of the songs are fantastic-- the melodies of different songs intertwine wonderfully. My favorites on the album are "Robot Rock/Oh Yeah" and "Television Rules The Nation/Crescendolls". Seriously, though, you won't find a fault with any of the songs. They're all great, easy to love, and even easier to dance to.
If you're a fan of electronic music, you HAVE to buy this. It's easily the best house/electronic album I've heard in a long time.

In-Freaking-Credible
Fan of electronica/techno? Stop thinking about it, just click the buy button. You won't regret it.
Absolutely incredible album. Some of the most incredible & action packed techno I've ever heard, staying just short of the too-repetitive line that a lot of techno/electonica can cross. As this is a live recording, the audience reactions add even more to the experience.
Anywhere you need a little musical pick-me-up, this is it. A serious test for your sound system as well. A total mind-trip. A+!
