Album Description
Available in:
Discovery es el segundo álbum de estudio del dúo francés de música house Daft Punk, lanzado en marzo de 2001. Marcó un cambió en el sonido desde el Chicago house, que eran conocidos por ese género, al disco, post-disco y house inspirado en el synthpop.
El álbum sirve también como una banda sonora de la película anime Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, que fue una colaboración entre los creadores del álbum, Leiji Matsumoto y Toei Animation. Todos los videos musicales para las pistas del álbum son segmentos de la película. Interstella 5555 sigue la historia de una banda extraterrestre secuestrada. Discovery es reconocido como un álbum conceptual en las reseñas de New Musical Express y la revista Spin.
Las primeras versiones del álbum incluye una carta de afilación de «Daft Club». La carta contiene un código que garantiza un acceso al servicio de tienda virtual, que incluye pistas posteriormente publicadas en el álbum homónimo y Alive 1997.
User Album Review
French duo, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter had first burst upon the dance world in 1995 with their hit “Da Funk” ”“ a tasty homage to Chicago Techno with a typically Gallic twist. The attendant album, Homework proved to be more of the same. So, four years later it came as some surprise when Discovery arrived; chock-full of, well”¦disco pop. Luckily it was even better.
Morphing (like the power rangers they resembled) into gleaming house robots for their publicity shots, the techno twins had spent the hiatus crafting something at once nostalgic and futuristic ”“ stating that Discovery was their attempt to summon up the innocence of a child’s approach to music (ie: a ten-year old had no snobbery about the dreaded word ‘disco’ ”“ cleverly contained in the title). To do this they blended a selection of late 70s and early 80s tunes (George Duke, Sister Sledge, Barry Manilow etc.) with wonderfully retro vocoder-style effects and some metallic guitars. The formula worked like a dream and even made them household names in the States.
The key element to Discovery is fun. From the opening smash “One More Time” (featuring New York new-garage legend, Romanthony, on vocals) to fifth track, “Crescendolls”, the album’s a rollercoaster ride of cheese and choons. Second hit, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is a masterpiece of relentless synth splurge, like Kraftwerk in kindergarden while “Digital Love” is simply gorgeous pop. Only the needlessly ambient “Nightvision” slows the pace. The second half’s a more mixed bag (you do grow slightly weary of the tinny-AM-radio-into-monster-floor-filler trick that virtually every track uses), though still dotted with gems such as the penultimate “Face To Face”.
The final icing on the cake was the cinematic tranformation of the album into the soundtrack for the charming Interstella 5555 ”“ Daft Punk’s tribute to anime director and hero, Leiji Matsumoto (who produced the film). The blend of children’s TV sensibility and glistening house made perfect sense, and the band have never bettered its coherence of vision or joyful playfulness. Daft, maybe, but for a while the world was a brighter place for it.
