Discovery - Daft Punk

The duo of Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are better known by the name Daft Punk, and together came together in 2001 to produce, "Discovery", their second album. The French pair perform House music with many twists, making it accessible to pretty much any audience. 1. "One More Time" You have them begin with what was one of their most well-known tracks, but I have to admit that it wasn't one of the tracks on here which appealed to me that much at all. This is quite typical of the time at the start of the 21st Century, and the type of mainstream Electronica which came from the period, and you can't say it's not a ...  Read the complete review

In 1997 Daft Punk (Frenchmen Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) released their debut album "Homework", which has since been recognised as one of the finest dance music albums ever written. It ranks alongside Leftfield's "Leftism" (1995) and Massive Attack's "Blue Lines" (1991) as one of the very greatest albums focused on electronic sounds. As the two artists above have shown, writing a follow-up to a highly successful album is extremely difficult. Leftfield waited until 1999 before releasing "Rhythm And Stealth" and it has taken a similar length of time for Daft Punk to write their second album ...  Read the complete review

Prepare for a completely biased opinion! I love Daft Punk. Ever since the day I heard 'Da Funk', these guys can do no wrong in my eyes. I don't think that Stardust (Thomas Bangalter's side project) 'Music Sounds Better' was overplayed. Why, I even have 'Da Funk' as the ringtone on my phone. So imagine my excitement at the prospect of a new album. Discovery is Daft Punk's second album and the follow up to the phenomenal Homework. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, collectively know as Daft Punk, had left us five long years between albums, so have they lived up to expectations? Let's find out... 1: ...  Read the complete review

My tastes in music, as some of you may already know, are quite diverse. Not many people are able to like Basement Jaxx and the Deftones at the same time, yet I do. In some ways this is good, but in other ways not. You see, I don't think that I'm discriminative enough. I can buy practically any album and grow to enjoy it (so long as it's not Westlife - I would rather burn in hell than listen to one of their albums (not that I believe in hell), and if somebody was to buy me one of their albums for my birthday, I would be forced to shoot them - nothing personal, you understand, but it's the principle that matters - anybody who could even possibly conceive ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't sure when my brother bought this album and didn't really think it was a good buy. This is one of my favourite CDs of the year, and all together! If you like Dance tracks and easy listening music this is the one for you. The best track on this album I think is Digital Love which didn't do very well in the charts! On this CD there are a lot of instrumental tracks which are really good with a great beat in the background. Sadly I haven't heard any of the tracks from the first album, homework but I will be buying it soon. The track go as this: 1 : One more time Probably heard by most of you this is a great ...  Read the complete review
