The New Wave Review:

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago at May 15 19:12
"The New Wave" was the first single released by French house duo Daft Punk in 1994 on the Soma Recordings label. It was later released the same year on the UMM label under license from Soma Recordings. Though it was originally a standalone single, the track "The New Wave" eventually evolved into "Alive" (evidenced in the tracklisting), which appeared in Homework. The single is currently rare and difficult to obtain.

Around the World Review:

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago at May 15 19:11
"Around the World" is a song by the electronic music duo Daft Punk. It appeared on the duo's debut album, Homework (1997) and was released as a single the same year. It subsequently became a major club hit throughout the world and arrived at #1 in dance charts. The song is particularly known for its repeated phrasing of its title. It is also known for its music video, which was directed by Michel Gondry. Structure: The key hook is a steady bassline and a talk box-processed voice singing "Around the world" in continuous chains. In the album version of "Around the World", the phrase occurs 144 times in total. Upon analysis of the song, Michel Gondry noted its distinctive structure: "I realized how genius and simple the music was. Only five different instruments, with very few patter...Read more

Da Funk Review:

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago at May 15 19:07
"Da Funk" is a single by Daft Punk from their 1997 debut album Homework. It was released as a double A-side with the track "Musique", a track which later appeared in the album Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005. Primarily based on a single riff, "Da Funk" and its accompanying video (directed by Spike Jonze) are considered a classic of 1990's house. A reversed 50-second sample of "Da Funk" is also on Homework and is listed as "Funk Ad". Music Video: Directed by Spike Jonze and actually entitled Big City Nights, the track's music video focuses on Charles, a character possessing the physical characteristics of a dog as well as a human gait, a leg cast, a crutch, and "urban" clothing. Charles, who has lived in New York City for only one month, is shown walking around with a boombox blasting "Da Fu...Read more

Revolution 909 Review:

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago at May 15 19:04
"Revolution 909" is an instrumental track from Daft Punk's 1997 album Homework. It was released as the fourth single from the album in 1998. The title bears resemblance to the Roland TR-909, which Daft Punk have confirmably used in their productions.[1] The music video for this track was directed by Roman Coppola. Music Video: The music video for this track shows a rave taking place in an alley. Police officers suddenly arrive to break up the party. While several people are rounded up, a young woman who looks to be captured notices a stain on an officer's shirt. This triggers a flashback beginning with a tomato seed being planted, then sprouting, then harvested and then packaged. The packages are eventually transported to a grocery store where a lady selects the tomatoes to take home...Read more
