Daft Punk - Discovery

The masked French duo Daft Punk released their second album, Discovery in 2001, 4 years after their début Homework. Their Return was a tour de force and their finest to date.

It's a smooth Euro disco infused hit machine. Packed with the singles One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder, Better Stronger, Faster, Something about Us and Face to Face.

It is clean, precise and shiny. The wonderful Face To Face is left dangling near the end of the album it encapsulates the entire album neatly in one thumping classic.

Discovery was also the soundtrack to a Japanese animated film called Interstellar 5555, The 5toryof the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Which follows the adventures of a band in a parallel galaxy. Quite apt for the Daft Punk.

Although not universally acclaimed upon its release Discovery has gone on to grow in the eyes of many, selling nearly 3 million copies. Unbelievably it was Q, that were one of the first to champion it. Either way it is a damn fine album and one that my two left feet have found themselves tapping to on many an occasion.
