Solid "best of" from one of the true greats Submitted on: 2009-06-16 |
|
If you were in high school in the late 90s, you danced to "Around the World" and probably new someone who owned "Homework." Their next few CDs weren't nearly as popular, but the group kept moving in new directions.
Here on Musique, you get a taste of where Daft Punk has been... plus some remixes that I feel didn't really add to the experience.
My only critique is that this retrospective could have included some earlier work - the title says "1993-2005" but DP only released 3 full albums in that time. They also include a DVD featuring a few of Daft Punk's great music videos. Their videos were instrumental (haha) to the Daft Punk experience, and compliment their persona perfectly.
Part of Daft Punk's appeal stemmed from their amazing music videos. The included DVD gives you a taste of their incredible visual style. My only complaint is that its too short! But you can find more of their work elsewhere. For further video experiences check out D.A.F.T., Daft Punk - Interstella 5555 and Director's Label Series Boxed Set - The Works of Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, and Michel Gondry. |

Sampler Submitted on: 2007-10-21 |

| This Cd is just a collect of some of the most popular Daft Punk songs, if you already have Homework, Discovery, and Human After All then you have all the songs on this Cd. But I didn't buy this for the Cd, it also came with a special DVD which contains the music videos for Human after all so and those were great. So if you want to try to get a friend into Daft Punk pick this up as a Sampler or if you want to complete your Daft Punk collection get I really love this |

The Videos Make It Worth It Submitted on: 2006-08-29 |

I am the worlds biggest Daft Punk Fan. Having all thier previous work, even the 'hard to find' stuff, this CD was of no use to me other than for nostalgic purposes... that is until I learned of this edition, which includes a special DVD with all of thier music videos to date. Right there I knew I had to own this gem. Worth the buy for the unique videos, especially Around The World.
I do have to point out that the quality of the video could have been better, as I have seen Daft Punk music videos on DVD (like the collection of video from Micheal Gondry) that were higher quality, so I know it isnt the video itself, but none the less its only something a videophile would really notice. |

Musique to the ears Submitted on: 2006-05-01 |

To the uninitaited, Daft Punk's around for more than a decade or so though it's really in 1997 when they exploded with Homework that the dance/electronic world sat up and took notice. With their unique brand of French electronic flavor, the duo were able to dazzle their audiences.
Mixing hard rock beats with pulsating electronic basslines and vocordered vocals, Daft Punk brings a whole new experience which includes Alive, Da Funk, All Around The World and Musique. In 2001, following the success of Homework, the duo finetuned their sound and brought in some retro-funk on Discovery to their electronic stable. First single, One More Time, with its catchy chorus and retro-disco sounds immediately caught attention. Tie-up with Japanese anime Interstellar 5555, singles such as Digital Love and Aerodynamic further secured their place in the dance/electronic world with stunning visuals accompanied.
Last year's Human After All was a disappointment, having being completed in 6 weeks and sounding a lot like a miscast record of leftovers except Make Love and Emotion were two of the best songs they have written.
Musique Vol. 1 is like a pitstop of Daft Punk's wide repertoire, giving casual fans an opportunity to try the band out. However, as essential with any money-making scheme, Virgin opted to leave the excellent Digital Love and Aerodynamic from Discovery off.
Then what's left for diehard fans on this special limited edition are the videos. 12 videos of which one is a remix also leaves out the above said two singles. Still, it's a visual treat and a collection to hold. (B+) |

Harder, ALWAYS Better, ALWAYS Faster, ABSOLUTELY Stronger Submitted on: 2006-04-24 |

| Daft Punk is one of those groups that is able to combine techno and electronic music into the simplest forms of music that tops even some of the hardest dance tunes (examples of SIMPLE: Around The World, Da Funk, Robot Rock). I found Daft Punk a little bit harder to get familiar with, cause I thought their work was very different from the usual techno you hear nowadays (The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, etc). A lot of people say that Daft Punk is one of those groups that is in its own genre of techno and electronic music, but I disagree. A lot of other DJ's have become familiar with their work and enjoy re-working their music, making their songs through mixes/remixes more recognizable. Since their last album (Human After All), they've made quite an exception in the world of techno and electronic music. Musique, Vol. I brings together their best (Something About Us, Technologic, Revolution 909, etc...), along with three remix tracks towards the end of the CD. The DVD is definitely worth the extra couple bucks added onto the $19.99. The music videos are very unique and are well put together w/ each song. Daft Punk fans will enjoy this Singles set. |
