News : Daft Punk Acapella

 Tuesday, July 3rd 2007, 8:30 am

I stumbled across this awesome YouTube video the other week when I was looking at some old Daft Punk videos and thought I’d share it. It’s a brilliant acapella group called the Carleton Singing Knights doing a version of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk. Although the video has lots of crowd noise which sometimes hides how good they are, they have really captured the essence of the tune. They didn’t quite manage the scatty, vocodered ending to the tune which goes across a couple of octaves, but they’re still an amazingly talented group of people.

    Wow this video is very cool. They seem to enjoy singing the song. It’s a nice tune. Especially the changing of the speakers while harder, better, faster, stronger is great!

    Greats!

    Yes Mate!
    This video is really great ;) It´s a massive tune from Duft Punk.
    I have played the new DEADMAU5 RE-EDIT of HARDER,BETTER,FASTER,STRONGER on my latest PODCAST :) I dont know when this tune gets a full release. But it rocks the dancefloors for me!
    And i have played another exclusive from the Freemasons BEYONCE - GREENLIGHT. Also not sure when it gets a full release…they send me the Promo Edit which all radio stations in the UK get.
    I know that you dont have much time at the moment but if you find a few minutes give this podcast a try…both tunes are awesome!!!

    I havent looked at this yet but its probably no surprise this turns up now with the ‘Kanye West - Stronger’ tune about to drop. Check out his website. The tune is amazing and the video stunning. It will be a hit.

    Yeah, I heard the tune a while ago and I was unsure whether I liked it or not. Saw the video the other day and I have to admit that he’s done quite a nice tune with the sample.

    The video is here if people want to see it.
