To me, Daft Punk are the most frustrating band on earth. After an amazingly promising debut and some highly inventive videos, they warmed to fashionable publications like The Face and many other media outlets and ending up becoming some shit parody of themselves. The music became watered down dance-pop. Sure, ‘One more Time’ was a top class pop tune for the masses but it lacked the energy, intensity and inventiveness of ‘Homework’ instead becoming some watered down radio-friendly pop act that meant nothing except that song that everyone danced to drunkenly in every random nightclub in Europe.
2001’s ‘Alive 97’ only confirmed this for me and many of my acquaintances. It was like Daft Punk were saying “Look, we know we’ve let you down, but listen to how good we WERE”. Their latest album ‘Human after All’ was only slight improvement on ‘Discovery’. Now, whether it be to record company obligations or a timely reminder of their one-time greatness, they are releasing a singles collection entitled ‘Musique 1: 1993 – 2005’, and it allows me the chance to post up one of my favourite songs from their back catalogue, which is also the first song on the aforemented singles collection, ‘Musique’ was their first ever single and was also the b-side to ‘Da Funk’ which I remember buying in France on a school tour in 1995 / 96. It’s still a classic.

So seconded on every point ! And i’ve been listening to their music since 1996 !

Suggesting that Human After All is a slight improvement on Discovery is absurd! Discovery was DP coming to fruition, whereas Human After All is the total let down when they couldn’t improve on their masterpiece. Sure, it returns to the minimalist roots found on Homework, but it seems like it’s purists (snobs?) who insist this is the “better” DP. What on earth do you mean by “watered down”? If you mean that they became more fun and accessible on Discovery then I can’t understand how that’s a bad thing (if anything their music and reference points became wittier and more complex). Becoming mainstream is a legitimate goal for some acts, and I believe not something to be sneered at. It’s such a shame that it’s all fizzled out so soon.

the power of their musique has diminshed. thats what i mean by watered down. it;’s not as vitall as it was originally, therefore less good. But that’s why i started this blog , to get other opinions on things, thats not just a music journalist idiom, but a regular joe’ s opinion on what i think about their musical career,What i think is that their early stuff will be the stuff that will be remembered after we are all gone. What frustrates me is that they held so much promise to me when I was young but they disappointed me since. there you go. i can’t be any more blunt than that. I just feel so let down from their original promise I deliberately chose a provocative title for this post because they mean so much to my youth.

daft punk are a lovely bunch of bastards. discovery is a classic pop album, it defined a generation, its like stairway to heaven, or the boys are back in town. with discovery daft punk have created a visionary musical soundscape similar to axl rose or the drummer from def leopard. and thats the irony of it, for what reason? one way or the other they’ll be synthing their way to a festival in a tour bus/studio. a desperate wave goodbye to sythesised pop formula zeitgeist. and thats why i love posting so much.

they *are* jerks. while some of the tracks on Human After All are mind-numbingly repetitive in a nice way, the whole affair felt like a rip off, and then you *really* know when you’re getting ripped off when they release a “best of”. I mean, best of two and a half good albums? what a crock of shit!

Hey i’m seconding Joe guy, one more time ! When Daft Punk arrived in the european club in 1996 with Da Funk it was an insane kick in the ass of detroit/chicago house people. I remember saying, like so many of us, “woa that acid thing is crazy”. Man, “Rollin and Scratchin” IS THE CLASSIC of Daft Punk. How can you turn noise into a pop anthem ? Because they achieved to do that with 12″inch, Daft Punk broke into the electronic music world and the indie world at the same time. Remember, Homework was released the same year that Aphex Twin broke in the indie market. Back in 1997 that was the “zietgest”, when we, 16years old/18 years old kid who use to like Nirvana turn into electronic music. So no Discovery didn’t “define a generation” and yes “One More Time” is the soundtrack of drunk beachparty at the local Club Med village isolated in a sunny and poor country. Radiohead defined a generation, not fucking Discovery.
Please check Alive 1997 to understand how much their music was HUGE at that time and try to get your hand on the first released on Bangalter’s label called Roulé (especially Trax On Da Rocks). These guys were one of the few who teached me something about music. After Homework, i didn’t learn anymore because they’ve been repeating the same thing, but without changing the way to say it… I still keep some of their mixes on cassette, these stuff changed a lot of things in my way of approaching music and because they did Short Circuit i’m still a huge fan.
The more you love, the more you hate, they use to say…

Guillaume, i think you might, possibly, be eating a daft punk burger; in the sense that Discovery is a meaty gem, only without the different sauces… one bite of your daft punk burger has you crawling back for more delicious meat, but when you get there and there ain’t no sauce, you stop eating, and you stop movin your feet…. you dig? one more time?

Co, besides the fact that your gastronomic metaphore is as clear as a burger sauce, i wanted to insure you that i continue to move my feet on Daft’s new music. “Harder, Better, Faster” is an amazing club track that i often play in my dj sets. The only point is, their new stuff aren’t as revolutionary (well i mean for indie kids) as it was in 97. Remember “Revolution 909”?
I would like to say that the French scene isn’t dead though. JUSTICE, who are released on Daft Punk’s manager record label, are on their way to make dance music move on. Check out Uffie also on the same label.

Great post Niall, I have to agree with you as well. Being a whiney little bitch of a grunge kid back in my youth, I was quite taken with Homework – but seriously “One More Time” reminds me of the background noise on far too many ventures into the sort of dodgy student society organised night outs that clog up the city on a wednesday like pasta in the sink hole. It was the soundtrack to fuckers bumping you out of the way to buy five more alcopops at an over crowded bar in venues that cater to the mutual date rape of the meat market scene. As liable to be followed up by “Castles in the Sky” in a set than anything else.

I totally accept that hearing something too often or in the context where it gets a negative association (like in James R’s post) can ruin even good music. However, I still think there’s a bit of snobbery going on here about Daft Punk making accessible music – I mean, why the hell not? The minimal detroit/chicago style is great in its genre, but difficult for the uninitiated, and not necessarily much fun. So, Daft Punk made stuff that was such good fun and so easy to listen to that you heard it everywhere and often (as in One More Time), perhaps getting sick of it. But does you getting sick of it suddenly make it shit? Crucially, does everybody liking something make it shit?

To me, it’s not about Daft Punk making accessible music, its about Daft Punk making music that did not live up to its original promise. Seriously, taking ‘One more Time’ as a case in point, its a great cheesy dance pop song, but there are many of those types of artists out there making that brand of music.
I actually thought they were taking the piss with that song until the album came out and i realised they weren’t. There is no substance there.
I’m sick of the gorillaz album at the moment, but its still one of the best albums of last year. Everybody liking something does not make something shit, shit music makes it shit.

holy shit it amazes me how well spoken, seemingly inteligent music buffs like yourselves can be so incredibly blind. Daft Punk are as good or better than ever and will (i promise) make you feel like complete fools for your statements thus far. Unless you are joking, music truly has left you in the dust. And surely you know, when this happens, you can never catch back up 😛

Without a doubt, Homework not “grabbing” you has way more to do with you being meaningless and/or spent creatively than it being a bad album. Listen again and desperatly try and get back whats left of your life cause its obviously fading fast, seriously.

what college did you go to? i feel that i’ve spent quite a lot of time on various collge campuses over the past 6 years doin nothing but going to parties and I have to say that if you heard too much Daft Punk, you are fucking lucky. Most people either dont know who they are or fucking hate them. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that everywhere you went you heard ‘One more time’ playing. I also can’t beleive that, if and when you did hear it, you actually let it bother you instead of dancing and subsequently hooking up with someone because the song is so good. I’m with the three posts before me, if you find yourself stuck in 1996, im truly sorry you couldn’t evolve with the bands you like. If you can’t see what Daft Punk accomplished in “Discovery” then you have obviously missed out on everything that has happened since its release. Go listen to Pablo Honey and talk about how bad Radiohead’s “new” stuff is 😛 yea right.

for me homework is the best dance album of all time
and daft punk are the best electronic music act….. but thats just my opinion.
they created a whole new genre and brought dance music into the public spotlight.
e seeing the 2006 live show was the best moment of my life and i doubt it would be bettered, eveyrthing about it was amazing
if daft punk are so **** then who do you define as good ?

I share many people’s opinions on this blog but I can relate with what Boots had to say. If you look at daft punk’s albums as a whole and not pick them apart track by track I find their music is all relative to one main idea. It’s important to have a different idea on the future albums than on the previous. If I was to just pick out certain tracks from the first two albums I’d compare “Around the World” and “One More Time” as the most over played tracks and after hearing them so much you get sick of them… NEWS FLASH people that’s what happens when the media (MTV) tells you what’s popular and coincidentally the artists gain world recognition again and again. I bet if you were to ask Thomas or Guy-Man what their least favorite track they’ve released is, what do you think one would say “One More Time” or “Around the World”? One of my favorite tracks Daft Punk has ever made from a producer’s point of view is H,B,F,S just because of the thought process involved and how everything was pieced together like a puzzle. There’s not a single track on Homework that shares the ideas displayed on Discovery. I read that daft punk didn’t make this album to say look what we’ve come up with (discovery)… they were thinking DISCO as in disco-very, very disco indeed.
Human after all came to an enormous surprise to me based on what I’ve heard from them in the past. But once I compared it to some other albums that was released recently at the time it fit in with how the industry was changing. Listen to Felix da Housecat’s release of “Devin Dazzle…” the trend seems to be more electro pop on this album too. I see the change in all electronic music as a little discomforting period. But come on really, if Daft Punk was to release a brand new studio album tomorrow I bet everyone who posted a pro or con will be at the local record shop to snatch it up just see what they’ve concocted (me included.) In a previous post “Boots” made reference to Radiohead’s music making history. Yes, they are probably the world’s most influential band, even the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s played their cover’s… i.e. “Lucky” from the 1997 album OK Computer. Daft Punk is just as influential and will always make hit’s because the fact is what they’ve accomplished and what there is TO BE accomplished.

anyone who was there or has seen the vids of thomas bangalter djing at the edbanger/institubes xmas party from paris last week will realise how much of a legend the guy is. the crowd worshiped him
every piece of music hes touched has been fucking amazing.
i didnt really like the discovery album (thought it was too POP )untill i seen them live this year, then i realised what its all about. one more time/aerodynamic mix says it all.
im sure they could of kept making records like the ones from homework but daft punk are about doing things different , there albums have been different to anything else out there at the time.
cant wait for a new album from them.

daft punk are true pioneers of todays electro scene if it was not for people like daft punk and felix da housecat there would be no justice, ed banger scene. for some one to say daft punk are shit they must truly not have a clue.

Daft punk were tastemakers in 96. I have been following electronic music for most of my life, and hands down the most amazing thing I have ever experienced is Thomas (on keys and drum machine), Falcon Djing, and Cassius (live set) all playing simultaneously for four hours. I have seen thousands of acts and nothing ever compared to that.
Although that was in the late 90s, I have a feeling that they will one day have midnight crises in the plush opulence of their tour buses, realize they got too comfy, toss the vocoder out the window and produce something not formulated to be later stripped down in ableton. I hope.
Or perhaps no one buys vinyl, and music is meant to be mas produced generic blandness formed to fit mp3 format, and they will even further concentrate on their lightshow.
PS before last summer’s tour I have never seen anyone dj a lightshow before. Perhaps that is their last evolutionary step?

Opinions about Daft Punk aside, it most likely wasn’t their idea to release a singles album. It was probably in their contract with the record company, and the record company is allowed to release whatever they want whenever they want in most clauses. So they may have not been being egotistical jerks, but may not have had any say in the matter.
Could be different, but also could be true.

I laugh when i hear people complain about them.I think wow, they have no clue. Daft Punk is one of the greatest musicians in history….no…they are the best of all time. They tought me originality, to try something new, and how to hide my face if i am just too damn shy……. they were like my senseis. I like all the Daft Punk fans who said their opinions here. i agreen with them. Also.. i couldnt help to realize that there is a little smiley face at the very bottom left on this page… haha.Oh… and Sarah Jones, I have a pretty wild imagination too but my expirences on daft punk are way less twisted than yours…
