Daft Punk Artist Snapshot:

French 1990s neo-disco duo Daft Punk found stardom as a discovery of the Chemical Brothers. With an egalitarian approach to making people move, Daft Punk utilized everything from strict club beats to Beach Boys and Roxy Music samples when making its infectious dance music. The duo garnered a sizable fan base thanks to a down-to-earth ethic and a fun futuristic aesthetic that accompanied their mix of techno funk and old-school beats.

Review

Rolling Stone (3/29/01, pp.59-60) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A scatter-shot triumph,, a blow against monolithic record-making....DISCOVERY helps you get your mainstream on...loading the front of the album with the best songs....[its] Euro dance at its absolute best..."

Spin (6/01, p.145) - 8 out of 10 - "...Crystalline intensity....No record this side of SIGN 'O' THE TIMES or NEVERMIND could hold such a pace..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/30/01, p.68) - "...A retro-techno-suite positing SWITCHED ON BACH and Van Halen guitar solos as the new apex of club-culture chic. The beat editing and EQ wizardry still wow..." - Rating: B
Q (4/01, p.97) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...It attacks old questions and spent ideals with such renewing verve and invention that you wish you were French yourself....a towering, persuasive tour-de-force..."

Alternative Press (4/01, p.63) - 4 out of 5 - "...This album is all about getting down...it virtually has no use outside of a club setting..."
Mixmag (4/01, p.163) - 5 out of 5 - "...Daft Punk regin again....altering the course of dance music for the second time....Alternating between 80s-inspired art-schoolish excursions in noise racketeering and straight-up raise-the-ceiling club acts...the perfect non-pop pop album..."
Vibe (6/01, p.158) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - "...An even bolder statement with a high level of gloss....You don't need to be strung out ina dark room full of beautiful strangers to enjoy it..."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/01, p.100) - "...This is a slicker Daft Punk, the raw edges slicked back under glossy production....Mullet techno, if you like..."
NME (Magazine) (12/29/01, p.59) - Ranked #16 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
NME (Magazine) (3/10/01, p.31) - 9 out of 10 - "...Simply fantastic pop....This is a record so polished, intense and bursting with Pop Art ideas it almost belongs in the Tate Modern..."

Title Note

Daft Punk: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo.

Additional personnel includes: Todd Edwards, Romananthony.

"Short Circuit" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "One More Time" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

In 1997, this French electro-dance duo made a huge intercontinental splash with its debut album, HOMEWORK, mixing disco, house, funk, techno, and more. While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks. Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an eclectic thread runs throughout DISCOVERY.

"Digital Love" sounds like the theme to a '70s sitcom as realized by the Buggles. "Nightvision" is a mellow, wordless, Quiet Storm-meets-Eno soundscape, while in an interpolation sure to gain plenty of attention, "Superheroes" marries a Barry Manilow sample to an unrelenting house beat. Ultimately, DISCOVERY is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable.
