NotesThe French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot. They go around impersonating aliens and robots in their interviews, they put records out only once every three years, and they make music that evokes a million other artists-while not really sounding like any of them. The keyboard noodling's of Jean-Michel Jarre are in there somewhere, along with the otherworldly imagery and giant hooks of '70s rock icons like Boston or even Electric Light Orchestra. There are dashes of 1999-era Prince and oodles of new wave and disco cheese, from Harold Faltermeyer and Gary Numan to the Bee Gees, all set off with efficient house beats. So how have they managed to position themselves as electronic music's next great crossover artists? on Discovery, the follow-up to the 1998 worldwide smash Homework, the answer is obvious: they have no shame, and they know how to make US dance. Starting off with the irresistibly hummable "One More Time," the record blows through a head-spinning array of styles and samples, creating a pop-culture stew of funky loops and dance-floor anthems. "Aerodynamic" eschews breakbeats for an Yngwie Malmsteen-ish guitar interlude that somehow ends up meshing in a crazy blend of stomping bass lines and hyped-up harmonics. "Digital Love" starts off silly and gets sillier, but the monosyllabic lyrics lull the senses just right, allowing the song's summery groove to grab hold with authority. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a resounding standout amidst the retro/Vocoder deluge that transpired after Cher's Believe turned the kitchy disco device into a worldwide pop music trend, spinning a clever groove around an ever-escalating string of computerized seduction. Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs a momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations.

  • Daft on Vinyl

    Pros: -The music makes you emote, you probably like it if you're this far already. -The vinyl is of quality, no hitches and feels like it has a lifespan. Cons: -No download code! The album on my computer is ripped audio from vinyl playback, so my tracks are "Side A"-"Side D". Due to the way I normally listen to music anyway this isn't a deal breaker but depending on your turntable quality or playback applications, you've been warned. -Glossy cover. This doesn't sound like a big deal, and actually looks pretty cool with the style of cover art they've chosen; I don't like it because it is far to receptive to fingerprints/smudging, so it doesn't actually look too cool after opening without excessive care to protect it. I would recommend attempting to open it in a way that holds the shrink-wrap over the cover, or to use a sleeve. Basically two quips, but overall an excellent pressing of an excellent record.
