"Daft Punk"

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.

New album? Great!

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.
