Daft Punk ‎– Discovery

Daft Punk, and especially Discovery always make me question what 'Pop' actually stands for. Is it a concrete definition for something? Can it even be related to music? Whatever it is, seems that it has become a way for people to describe what they don't like, or at least what they don't like because so many other like it as well. For me Pop music is the one that is meant to be understood by the majority, the most accessible. Universal, if i dare say so. Well, that concept doesn't sound so promising to me, because trying to please everyone implies sacrifices, and sacrifice implies loss. But if there is any pop music that i enjoy, it is definitly Daft Punk. It is such a unique sound. I always value that, and it is probably why i love it. The most striking about it is how unusually emotional and deep it is for a 'pop' album. Just listen to 'Something About Us': the voice is robotic, almost artificial and not human, but it sings with such warm and passion. It is impossible not to get emotionally moved by it. And the key chords that start after the vocal are simply delighful. Really the cherry on top of the cake. 'One More Time' and everything else is, as it is usually said, history. I recommend watching 'Interstella 5555: The 5tory Of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem ', the movie to which Discovery is the soundtrack. It really reflects what the music is: a cosmic, still human, experience.

One of the best albums of the decade. Strange it says this version is from the UK, I bought this in a Virgin Megastore in France.

The techno trio returns with the follow up to their exceedingly rare, cassette-only "Homework" release. Another commercial flop, Discovery was panned by fans and critics alike (a grotesque, relatively harmless prog/disco Frankenbaby - Pitchfork) and Daft Funk disbanded in early 2002 to pursue other interests.

Is it just me or is the spine upside down? It faces the opposite direction of my other records.

after listening to homework, discovery, and human after all, I have to say daft punk are the most overrated artists in all of music. there is nothing remotely good about their tracks.

Veridis Quo was probably the best track on the album and it's still not that great.

This repress does not include a Daft Club card unfortunately, even though ironically the linear notes of how to use the Daft Club card is still on the back of the first inner album sleeve.

Teachers.

This is the album that got me into Daft Punk, and made me a huge fan of Daft Punk and French House in general. For their second album, Daft Punk dropped all that acid noise that plagued the second-half of Homework and focused on what made them famous, their disco hooks and beats. And the result was Discovery, their most successful album by far.

This is what every album should be like. This is the album that everyone can relate to, everyone can listen to, and everyone can dance to. Your anime fans will like this album through Interstella 5555, your ravers and house fans will like this album with it's awesome hooks and great beats, your parents will like this album because it'll sound just like what Disco was back in the 70s, and most importantly, YOU will like this album, because each and EVERY track on here is worth listening to. It seems that every track can cater to anyone's tastes, and that's what makes it so brilliant. And all the tracks are diverse too, none of the songs sound like each other, but they all tell a big story, and they're all just so wonderful to listen to. And that's why I love Discovery. So take a chance on this CD, I'm sure you'll be listening to it "One More Time."
