I'm always surprised when I find out an artist I really like is French. When I found out that Daft Punk was French, I was pretty much floored. I had no clue France could produce such good house music. Then again, I would find out later that most good house music comes out of France.
Since forming in 1993, Daft Punk has produced 3 albums, 2 live albums, 17 singles, 9 remixes, 1 soundtrack, and much much more. I've been a huge fan of their album Discovery ever since I saw them appear in a Gap commercial forever ago.
One of the most epic music videos that I ever seen was made by Daft Punk in December 2003. The video was called Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem and it lasted 68 minutes, covering all of the groups music from Discovery
I lost my connection with Daft Punk after high school. I didn't really think about them, and only heard their music everyone in a while. It wasn't until Disney announced that they would be making a sequel to Tron and that Daft Punk would be composing the soundtrack, that I got back in touch with the group. For me that film was awesome, and the music was a great example of Daft Punk's talents.
Does anyone else have a favorite Daft Punk moment?
