'' is the
2001 Sophomore Album by
Daft Punk . It marks a shift in the sound from the
Chicago House that they were previously known for to
Disco -style
Synth-pop . It also provided itself as a soundtrack to the
Anime movie, ''
Interstella 5555 ''.
Two cult hits were spawned from this album: "One More Time", and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". The song "Face to Face" (featuring
Todd Edwards ) reached #1 on the Billboard Club chart in
2004 .
Some people have interpreted that the ''Discovery'' album means "very disco" due to the album having a disco feeling. However that is somewhat not true,
Thomas Bangalter stated in an interview:
This statement is supported by the fact that a lot of samples used on this album are from the 1970s and 1980s:
Despite the heavy sampling, Daft Punk tend to play live with their sampled music. Instead of just using the samples, they add or build on to the original sample.
{Link without Title} Daft Punk has proven this in a later song, "
Robot Rock " (from their ''
Human After All '' album). For the
Music Video , both Thomas Bangalter and
Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo are actually playing the sampled loop that is the basis of the song. Thomas Bangalter is playing the sampled guitar loop with a double-neck
Guitar and Guy Manuel is playing the
Drums part of the song.
