"Discovery", a benchmark in electronic music of the duo Daft Punk

Daft Punk released their second studio album, "Discovery", in March 2001, which represented a total reinvention of their sound. Moving away from the raw house that characterised their first album, ‘Homework’ (1997), the French duo opted for a more melodic and nostalgic approach.

This new style fused influences from 1970s and 1980s rock, R&B and Japanese electronica, creating a unique listening experience.

Landmark tracks such as ‘One More Time’ and ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ not only became massive hits, but also redefined the dance music landscape of the time.

The impact of ‘Discovery’ transcended the musical realm. In 2003, the album became the soundtrack for ‘Interstella 5555’, an animated film that Daft Punk created in collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto, the famous illustrator of ‘Captain Harlock’.

This film, which is developed solely through the music of the album and has no dialogue, established Daft Punk as true visionaries in the industry.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo after their indie rock band ‘Darlin’ disbanded and began experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers joined forces in 1993 and disbanded, after 4 albums, in 2021.

More than two decades after its release, ‘Discovery’ remains a benchmark in electronic music and a milestone in the duo's artistic evolution, demonstrating their enduring influence and ability to innovate at every step of their career.
