Discovery

Product Information

On Discovery, the follow-up to the 1998 worldwide smash Homework, the answer is obvious: they have no shame, and they know how to make us dance. Ultimately, Discovery is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable.

Nightvision” is a mellow, wordless, Quiet storm-meets-Eno soundscape, while in an interpolation sure to gain plenty of attention, “Superheroes” marries a Barry Manilow sample to an unrelenting house beat. The French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot. The vinyl came in very safely packaged in a box bigger than I expected to prevent damage to the vinyl. They go around impersonating aliens and robots in their interviews, they put records out only once every three years, and they make music that evokes a million other artists--while not really sounding like any of them. Digital Love" starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics lull the senses just right, allowing the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority.

There's also the Moroder-like composition "Verdis Quo," the sequencing stutters of "Face to Face," cosmic disco looping "Voyager," etc etc. Includes the singles: ‘One More Time’, ‘Aerodynamic’, ‘Digital Love’, ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’, ‘Face to Face’ and ‘Something About Us’. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a resounding standout amidst the retro/Vocoder deluge that transpired after Cher's Believe turned the kitchy disco device into a worldwide pop music trend, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction.

The most famous track on the album is probably Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger having been sampled by Kanye West. Published by Chesyl Publishing, performed by The Imperials, used by kind permission of Power Exchange. Starting off with the irresistibly hummable "One More Time," the record blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop-culture stew of funky loops and dance-floor anthems. Discovery is Daft Punk's best work in my opinion, and it was vital to me in developing my taste for Electronic music as a teenager. I love how shiny it is especially, there's nothing as great as owning a physical copy of an album you love so much in pristine, high quality condition.We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, communities and culture.

After a spell of being aggravatingly out of print, Daft Punk's Discovery finally repressed on their own Daft Life imprint. I can't believe it took me until 2012 to actually get the whole album rather than only knowing 2 or 3 of the most famous singles. Doesn't feel like much use reviewing an album this huge, but Discovery is too important to me as a person not to.

It's much poppier than Homework and has most of the hits you might know by them (no "Around the World" though).
