Whoa! I think I need to comment on what seems like a Daft Punk dis
without any proper justifications..
While it's true that Daft Punk have had a lot of attention while
Philippe Zdar/Cassius stuff has remained underground, I don' think that
Cassius material is in essence any stronger than Daft Punk's. Let's just
that hope that the Daft Punk guys will come up with the goods again like
they did with their album two years back (and Stardust in '98).
I know it's easy to dis somebody just because they're overexposed (I
noticed myself doing the same with Cassius when I first saw the video),
but you gotta face the fact that just about EVERY artist that gets major
MTV airplay also gets overexposed because showing everything 20 times a
day their mode of operation. My advise is: forget MTV and listen to
music. ;-)
just my 2 cents,
