ReDiscovery

From Wiki42

Revision as of 16:01, 29 April 2008

ReDiscovery is a playlist of unofficial but high-quality fan-made remixes of Daft Punk's Discovery album that were NOT created but were chosen by DJ Nerd42.

The goal is to have one high quality remix per song on Discovery and then release in an easy to download, easy to burn / print format.

track listing (UNFINISHED)

Established tracks are in bold. Italic means "maybe/probably". Both bold and italic means "definitely unless something better comes along".

1. "One More Time (DJ Antoine Remix)"
2. Aerodynamic (DJPixcell Edit)
3. "Digital Love (Red Foxx's Bmore Surprise Mix)"
4. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Dirty Disco Youth Remix)"
5. "Crescendolls (Ratboy vs Soulwax Edit)"
6. "Night Beatle (GO HOME Productions)" (Original expired link (not archived) - Boot mix that includes it - YouTube video that includes it - PLEASE EDIT THE PAGE TO ADD A LINK TO THE ORIGINAL FILE)
7. "Superheroes"
8. "High Life (Dark DJ's Assault Mix)"
9. "Something About Us (Eastar Remix)"
10. "Voyager (Revolte Remix)"

Ideas

General Vague Guidelines

• None of the tracks can be by DJ Nerd42, who is the totalitarian dictator of this project and gets to choose what goes and what stays. (Suggestions and submissions are always welcome of course!!)
• The tracks featured on Robot After All should be used sparingly and only in cases where there aren't any others that could be used instead.
• None of the tracks can be unmodified official mixes released by Daft Punk. (such as the ones on Daft Club or the various singles)
• Tracks should predominantly feature the Discovery track they're representing.
• Preferably, not more than one track should be by the same remixer.

Challanges facing this project

• Some tracks (mainly Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger) have had so many excellent remixes that it's hard to choose just one.
• Some tracks (High Life, Superheroes ect) have so few (if any) remixes that it's hard to find even one.
• Some excellent remixes are rare or no longer available for download.

Files I'm trying to track down (If they actually exist)

• GO HOME Productions "Night Beatle"
• "Face to Face (Cut & Copy Remix)"
• "Face to Face (Todd Edwards Unreleased Remix)" in better quality than a YouTube rip

Artwork

Here are some ideas on what, if any, artwork the album should have. One or more of these ideas could be combined.

"White Album" idea

Where Discovery was black, ReDiscovery should be white. The same Daft Punk logo on the cover could either be put on a white background or all the colors could be inverted.

"Interstella 5555" idea

The cover could contain a screencap from Interstella 5555 or a collage of different shots from the movie.

"Robot costumes" idea

The cover could feature Daft Punk in costume.
