Alive 2007 is an album by Daft Punk that will be released on November 19 2007.[1][2] It is the second live album by the duo, following Alive 1997. Alive 2007 will feature their performance at Bercy in Paris from June 14 2007.[3] A special edition of the album will be released that includes the encore from the tour on a second disc. It will also include a 50-page digibook containing photographs from the Alive 2007 tour.[4]

Structure

The Alive 2007 set utilized Ableton Live software on supercomputers specifically customized for the show. Daft Punk accessed the hardware remotely with Behringer BCR2000 midi controllers within the central pyramid. Vintage Minimoog Voyager units were also implemented for the live performances. According Thomas Bangalter of the duo, "They're a 30-year old design." Moog synthesizers were used that allowed Daft Punk to "mix, shuffle, trigger loops, filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and deconstruct synth lines." The majority of the equipment was stored away during the live sets within offstage towers.[5]

The recording of Alive 2007 was derived from Daft Punk's live performance at their Bercy show.[4] Reviews of the set noted how Daft Punk manipulated and reworked their established material. One report spotted vocal elements from the song "Too Long" mixed with newly-generated accompaniment.[6] The overlapped mixtures of "Television Rules the Nation" with "Crescendolls", "Around the World" with "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Superheroes" with "Human After All" were reported to be well-received by the audience.[7] The set itself was considered a collection of Daft Punk's most popular recordings.[8]

The encore of the set features Bangalter's side projects: Stardust's "Music Sounds Better with You" and "Together" by the band of the same name.[3]
