 Yesterday brought the release of Daft Punk's greatest hits album called Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005. It's fascinating that a group with only three albums can put out a greatest hits.
 I've loved Daft Punk since I saw a talking dog forced to walk the streets rather than take the bus. That catchy catchy catchy song was stuck in my head for days. I tried to burn the CD, but back in those days, blank CDs couldn't contain the awesomeness of Daft Punk's Homework (ie it was too long for a blank CD). So I bought it.
 Then years later, Discovery hits shelves. I fucking love it. There's something so infectious about the Seventies and Eighties samples on there and the crazy thumpng beats that blew out the right speaker in my old car. I now prefer Discovery over Homework easily. One More Time may be repetitive... but it's still a great dance-able tune. I remember dancing to it at clubs waaay back in 2001 and 2002. Such fun nights....
It's too bad that the third album, Human After All was so repetitive, short, and uninteresting. Oh well. It has some redeeming qualities. But let's see what they put out next, seeing as how they are now free of their contract with Virgin. They'll probably hunt around for another label before writing and recording anything, I surmise.
So let's talk about those crazy French robots, their Anime movie, and their influence on music in general.
(LCD Soundsystem's first track on the debut CD references the duo)
Also, has anybody seen them live? Care to tell about? |
