In 1997, this French electro-dance duo made a huge intercontinental splash with its debut album, HOMEWORK, mixing disco, house, funk, techno, and more. 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. Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an eclectic thread runs throughout DISCOVERY.
"Digital Love" sounds like the theme to a '70s sitcom as realized by the Buggles. "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. Ultimately, DISCOVERY is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable.

Producer: Daft Punk; Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo; Romanthony; Thomas Bangalter; Todd Edwards

Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (3/29/01, pp.59-60)

Entertainment Weekly (3/30/01, p.68)
- "...A retro-techno-suite positing SWITCHED ON BACH and Van Halen guitar solos as the new apex of club-culture chic. The beat editing and EQ wizardry still wow..." - Rating: B

Q (4/01, p.97)

Mixmag (4/01, p.163)
- 5 out of 5 - "...Daft Punk regin again....altering the course of dance music for the second time....Alternating between 80s-inspired art-schoolish excursions in noise racketeering and straight-up raise-the-ceiling club acts...the perfect non-pop pop album..."

Vibe (6/01, p.158)
- 3.5 discs out of 5 - "...An even bolder statement with a high level of gloss....You don't need to be strung out ina dark room full of beautiful strangers to enjoy it..."

Mojo (Publisher)
(4/01, p.100)
- "...This is a slicker Daft Punk, the raw edges slicked back under glossy production....Mullet techno, if you like..."

NME (Magazine)
(12/29/01, p.59)
- Ranked #16 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".

NME (Magazine)

4 of 5 Pretty good Wednesday, November 13, 2002
Adam from Virginia  

This is a very good album. It contains a variety of techno, rave, digital, and funk. Also, there a quite a few hard guitar riffs. Besides that, the first four music videos are incredible. They are done in an anime style and fit the music perfectly. Hopefully a DVD will be released of all the videos of the album. Aside from the praise here, there are a few nagging things. If you aren't a big fan of techno than this may make you go farther away. It is very repetitive, like any techno music, and very digital. A lot of digital voice is used as singing. If you do like funk music or techno, or both, this is a great grab.
