I got both their albums last week at Virgin Megastores for a tenner, and may I say, what an amazingly underrated band. They're a sort of dance/techno style - with instruments such as the electric guitar, synthesyser and some heavy bass to boot. I'm sure most of you will have heard of them - One More Time was a big hit over here, crashing into No. 1, but their albums and other singles didn't seem to do quite as well.
Why? Well really, I don't know. Their first album is Homework, which is pretty good - my favourite songs out of the 16 being Revolution 909, Da Funk, Phoenix and Around The World. But what really takes the bullet is Discovery - their latest and quite frankly bloody amazing album. There are two less than homework - 14 - but it's quality over quantity. Notable tracks include One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Crescendolls, Superheroes, High Life and Short Circuit. The others are pretty damn good too.
So am I a lone Daft Punk fan? I certainly hope not, and seeing as these two albums are only a tenner for the pair now, I'd strongly recommend them to anyone. Go on - give 'em a go. Fantastic band.

I like Daft Punk. I got Discovery when it came out, you got a free card with it which had a code that let you download remixes from their site. I seem to remember an average Neptunes remix of one of the singles on there.....
I bought homework afterwards so I kinda went backwards with that....
Anyway, good group. Probably have a new album next year.

New album? Great!
By the way, do you actually have any confirmation of that?

I think they're alright. I first heard Around the World when it came out and thought it was excellent, but that anime video that went with a single last year was quite off-putting.
'Spose it's because they're from Paris- Frogs aren't always that popular- If you've ever seen the cds in French petrol stations, they're bull excrement! (no naughty words)

sorry, no conformation, just a guess from me.
Gotta love that solo though.

That would be the belting Neptunes remix of Harder Faster Better? I love that track, not used the on-line card thing but it was on one of the 12 inchers for the single release. Was also a great vocal mash of Around the World, not a propper remix as it was just a lot of MCing over the original track, but still great. Only every heard it on an MP3 which I got through Audio Galaxy (or the like) so not sure if it was original.
Might have to dig up that card and see if the on-line thing still works as I never tried it.
