Tony 1 Posted July 29, 2011 Daft Punk are an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975).[1][2][3] Daft Punk reached significant popularity in the late 1990s house movement in France and met with continued success in the years following, combining elements of house with synthpop.[1][2][4] The duo is also credited with producing songs that are considered essential in the French house scene. They were managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (Busy P), the head of Ed Banger Records.[5] Early in the group's career, the band members were strongly influenced by groups such as The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo were originally in a band called Darlin', which disbanded after a short period of time, leaving the two to experiment musically on their own. The duo became Daft Punk, and released their critically acclaimed debut album Homework in 1997. The 2001 release Discovery was even more successful, driven by the club singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". In March 2005, the duo released the album Human After All to mixed reviews. However, the singles "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" achieved success in the United Kingdom. Daft Punk toured throughout 2006 and 2007 and released the live album Alive 2007, which won a Grammy award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. The duo composed the score of the film Tron: Legacy and in 2010 released the soundtrack album of the film. Don't think these guys need much of an introduction... one of the best electronic bands to ever grace this planet. I can still remember being 7 or 8 years old and totally addicted to Around the World. But my favourite all time songs of theirs is One More Time. And I would give anything to see them live, here's hoping for another world tour. Any fans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyo-sama 0 Posted July 31, 2011 I'm not really fan of them but like a child I remember I really loved One More Time. From time to time I watch some videos on YT but not because of the music, it's crazy to watch it . BUT recently I watched TRON: legacy and I must say I really fell in love with the soundtrack. I was a little worried to watch it at all but I was nicely surprised.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Posted August 1, 2011 The movie sucked for me, but the soundtrack was fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
