Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Homework (Tarea en español) es el primer álbum de estudio del dúo electrónico francés Daft Punk. Fue lanzado el 20 de enero de 1997. El álbum es considerado una combinación de house, techno, acid y funk. Su estilo está marcado por un fuerte interés en plasmar el toque francés junto a varios artistas. Homework incluye los sencillo exitosos «Around the World» y «Da Funk».

Daft Punk consideró que la mayoría de prensado debe ser en vinilo, así que sólo se imprimieron 50 mil álbumes inicialmente en CD. En su lanzamiento en 1997, abrumadoras ventas de Homework causaron que los distribuidores aceleren la producción y satisfacer la demanda. El álbum apareció en 35 países a través del mundo y vendió dos millones de copias en pocos meses de su lanzamiento.

Homework incluye sencillos que han significado un impacto en el French house y las escenas de la música dance en el mundo.15 Este incluye el aclamado «Da Funk» y «Around the World», que alcanzaron el número uno en las listas de Billboard en la categoría Hot Dance Music/Club Play. El álbum mismo alcanzó el puesto número 150 en los Billboard 200. Como resultado de ventas, Homework fue certificado oro por el RIAA el 11 de julio de 2011.

El álbum es destacado en el libro 1001 álbumes que debes oír antes de morir. En el texto, el crítico Alex Rayner declará que «Homework sirvió como un puente entre los estilos club bien establecidos y el floreciente eclecticismo de big beat. Y esto proporcionó a muchos seguidores de la música club que ahí estuvo más música dance que píldoras y patrones de teclado».

Un sample de la canción «Daftendirekt» es incluido en «So Much Betta» de Janet Jackson de su álbum Discipline.

User Album Review
Even before they pulled a Kraftwerk and turned into robots, Daft Punk’s talent for mythmaking was as precocious as their production skills. They first passed a cassette of their music to Stuart MacMillan, co-founder of the Scottish techno label Soma, at a Euro Disney rave in 1993. Then, following the release of just two singles, Parisians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were snapped up by Virgin and set to work on their debut album.
When Homework arrived in 1997, Britpop’s wane was too incipient to be detected and dance albums tended only to cross over into the UK’s guitar-centric mainstream if, as Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers and Underworld had shown, vocals were included to leaven all those repetitive beats. Perhaps it has something to do with Homework’s success, then, that one of its few vocal tracks happened to be Around the World, one of the decade’s catchiest singles.
The track is a perfect example of Daft Punk’s sound at its most accessible: a post-disco boogie bassline, a minimalist sprinkling of synthetic keyboard melody and a single, naggingly insistent hook. While the vocal performs that role on Around the World, elsewhere the same effect is achieved using a wide variety of sounds: Da Funk’s acidic wah-wah guitar line; the torturous squeal that powers the aural battery of Rollin’ & Scratchin’; a sustained fragment of guitar distortion carrying on the ocean breeze of Fresh; the woozy oscillations and slicing percussion of Indo Silver Club.
Just as distinctive as the less-is-more approach to each track’s elements is Homework’s love of compression, a sonic tribute to the FM radio stations that fed Daft Punk’s youthful obsessions. Such extreme use of attack and release, augmented still more by a predilection for filtered basslines and astringent hi-hats, establishes a distinctive tension between bass and treble that’s become as key to their sonic palette as their referencing of 70s disco, 80s pop and 90s techno.
Homework could have been a superb 40-minute album, but at almost twice that length there are definite longueurs. For every bagatelle like High Fidelity or PhÅ“nix, though, there’s a gleaming techno machine like Alive ready to hover into view and throw you forward into an LED-coated future of Kanye samples, Grammys, Tron soundtracks, movies and pyramids. The rise of the robots started here.
