Eight years ago this week, French electro group Daft Punk released Discovery, their follow-up to 1997’s Homework. Q gave the record five stars and we thought pretty highly of it too. The album spawned five singles and “Face to Face” went on to hit #1 on the Billboard club chart years later in 2004.

Daft Punk - “One More Time” [single released: 5 December 2000]

Daft Punk - “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” [single released: 13 October 2001]

Daft Punk: Electroma [DVD]

By Timothy Gabriele

22 Jul 2008

Inevitably, Electroma will eternally be defined in music and film history by what it lacks. Calling the film one-dimensional would be understandable, but it would be simplifying a complex moebius strip whose surface, if lethargic, at least engages the screen for 70 minutes.
