I clicked on this thread thinking it was some sort of joke thread, unfortunately you guys seem to be serious, wake up dudes, this record sucks. Overrated top 40 dance by numbers, I am amazed this album is getting love.
I can understand that attitude about their albums from Discovery onwards but when Homework came out it was decidedly un top 40ish. This thread has made me want to check this album again. Speaking of French late 90's house, anyone remember the Super Discount series? That had some superb stuff on it.
to anyone who says this is classic music. it is to me
bangalter trivia - thomas' dad was actually the guy behind O.T.T.O.W.A.N. and a pal of cerrones etc.. you could say that le french touch disco was in his blood
essential mix trivia - there is another essential mix I think - includes Joe Smooth - Promised Land, Lonnie Liston Smith - A Garden Of Peace - love that mix, it was an education for me
favourite "less well known" tracks - Ian Pooley - Chord Memory - Daft Punk remix (AV8), Scott Grooves - Mothership Reconnection - Daft Punk remix

Got all 4 of those 10"es, much better than the Superdiscount 2 series.

Yeah that mix is nice as well, it was broadcasted on new years eve of 1998 I think, but this '97 mix captures the Homework sound more. They did another one hour set at radio 1 in 2001 which is pretty good.

Nice one! Thanks for the info. It must have been New Years, my tape switches over to john peel towards the end.. drunken idiot
I liked it because of the retro section, where they explored some of those house classics (I was starting to get educated into jackin' house stuff around that time).. teaching it!
new movie looks good, thanks to the strutter that posted about it, i was unaware
if you guys like this filter disco shit its worth investigating where the sound originated... dj sneak, czr's "chicago southside," the whole chicago 2nd wave of house - http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Chicago's%20House%20Experience,%20Vol.%201:1921617203 is a good record i mentioned in the other thread
also kris menace is still doing shit in this 'french house' vein today, 'discopolis' and such
