Discovery

Product Information

Everywhere on the record, gigantic beats are dropped with pinpoint precision, giving songs a momentum that transforms repetitive melodies into sudden revelations. Ultimately, Discovery is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable. 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".

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. In March 2001, the electronic duo released their second album discovery, a total of 14 tracks, driven by the hit singles one more time, aérodynamic, harder better faster stronger, digital love…a multi-platinum album. Daft Punk's defining album comes directly from the horses' mouths, seeing a new vinyl edition in 2022 released via the ex-duo's own Daft Life Ltd. Edit: turns out it should have been obvious to me but anyway I figured it out by looking at the record cover closer. The French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot.With no frills or fluff, every original track on their third album from 2001 appears here in crunching glory, not sounding an inch rougher or time-weathered. It was also around this time the duo became robots shedding their previous human based presentation.

If you doubt the confidence of these Frenchies, how about the fact that the album starts off huge with the singles "One More Time" and "Digital Love" These are followed by "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," one of the few songs that can make me do the full Woodman olympic-edition dance (another one is "Vibeology"). Doesn't feel like much use reviewing an album this huge, but Discovery is too important to me as a person not to.

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.Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since.

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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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. After a spell of being aggravatingly out of print, Daft Punk's Discovery finally repressed on their own Daft Life imprint.

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. Very quiet in between tracks that aren’t gapless with lots of crispy bass and everything sounding even and true, levels are great and no discernible distortion towards the middle of the disc, probably helped by the fact that it’s a 2 disc affair and the run out on each disc is pretty large keeping a lot of the “music” towards the outer edge as much as possible. But that's just to smash you over the head: the Daft sound is also defined by warm, bassy synth lines, weaving their way liquidly through garage disco and house loops, all hot chocolate for the ears. The beat is so infectious that I found I absolutely had to move to the song while I was listening to it.
