    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

        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.

                  Long story short: except the 2001 (made in Europe) and the "cartoonized" 2002 (Japan pressing)
                  if there is the Virgin logo on the back....well it is a repress

                    Would upload pics of the front and back of my card and the sheet it's on (glossy plain black sheet with a clear poly credit card wallet in the middle) but the release is locked. No editing allowed...
