Daft Punk – Discovery

У меня пресс Made in Poland. Пластинки кривые и звучат посредственно. Буду искать пресс made in Germany.

13 years on and this still slaps.

The sounds of the album is very futuristic especially for it's time, this came out the same time as Björk's Vespertine and SOAD's Toxicity, albums with great sound but have aged a bit after nearly a decade, this album here as barely aged a bit. All the songs are manufactured around the production and most of the vocals "(if there are any) are baked into the production so well that it sounds like they recorded it instead of sampling it. The songs still hit with the energy and ferociousness to keep you rocking your head along with it. I have a vinyl of this and makes the songs even better somehow as it feels like your at a techno club in the future.

This album needs no introduction. Doesn't feel like much use reviewing an album this huge, but Discovery is too important to me as a person not to. 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. This album has some of the most infectious melodies and masterful sample work in the history of music as a whole. Discovery lives up to the hype.

Is anyone able to assist with two things ?

Did not all original pressings come with the daft club card ?

And does anyone have a spare daft club card on a sheet?

Many thanks Johnny

legendary album - does get much better then this one.... WOW

So I’ve got this 2 disc version of the Discovery Album, and it’s the same songs on both sides of one of the discs. So on disc one Side B, it should be playing HBFS, Crescendolls, Nightvision and Superheroes. However it’s the same songs as side A, One more time & aerodynamic & Digital love. Both sides of Disc 2 seem to be accurate. I’ve never had a misprint or whatever this would be. Any value to it?

Now this is interesting. Apparently these guys have been famous for quite a while, yet somehow I'd never heard of them. All that was remedied recently though. When I heard that Leiji Matsumoto had created a full-length animated feature with stunning animation based on an ablum by Daft Punk, I just had to check it out. While my opinion of that excellent piece of animation is mixed (I just didn't dig the story or think most of it matched the songs all that well), it did something to me. It made me buy the album it was based on "Discovery". Wow.

In this case, it seemed more like the music video was just a distraction than an extension of the music. When I first started listening to the album I thought it was okay, but as I progressed through it, listening to the songs in order, and then repeating some just to hear them one more time, I got HOOKED.

It's hard to describe. I love electronic music and techno and all that sort of thing, but this is different. The voices and music are all really just toyed with by the musical artists in these songs. Everything is just a way to get you into a feeling, of a rhythm, or a beat. The more you hear the songs, they more they grow on you, the more you get into them, the more you like them, the more you listen to them.

Take that song "One more time". That song is downright addictive! The beat is so infectious that I found I absolutely had to move to the song while I was listening to it. Ditto for the next three tracks. "Aerodynamic" is amazing because it uses electric guitar like a piano player uses his keyboard, not just for show, but to extend and play with a melody, finally turning it into a music-box version of itself before transforming into my favorite song on the album "Digital Love". I love that song. It's just so incredibly upbeat, happy, and beautiful. I love that song. A lot of people really love the next one, "Harder, better, faster, stronger". I didn't care for it at first, but it grows on you, to the point where I love it too now. My other favorite tracks include "Nightvision", "Superheroes" (why do I actually think of comic book superheroes when I hear that song?), and "Voyager".

This may be an acquired taste, but it's definitely a taste I'm glad I acquired. If you dig electronic music in general you should check it out. Just keep an open mind. This more than just more of the same repetitive techno/electronica you've heard. This is beautiful, original, and unique music. Great stuff. Give it a try.

Utterly incredible. One of my all time favourite albums, and hands down a classic!

You know it you live it it’s perfect ye ye ye ye
