Discovery

Without doubt this is Daft Punk's finest hour of music. Since Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo burst onto the scene during the 90's they have taken the dance music industry by storm.

Of course, everyone will know the catchy 'One More Time' , and also the others released as singles such as 'Harder Better Faster Stronger' (which Kanye West did his utmost to destroy). However, it's the other lesser-known tracks that make this album complete - 'Superheroes' is a particular favourite of mine with its energetic beat, while on the other end of the spectrum 'Something About Us' is a laidback and soppy tune, and is also the love theme for the animation film 'Interstella 5555' which the album itself was fundamentally created for.

What I believe has been the foundation of Daft Punk's success with this album is their patience, apparently this album took over 18 months to produce so it goes to show what quality can be achieved if you don't rush things. In contrast, their 2005 album 'Human After All' was produced in roughly six weeks and its quality wasn't even half of that of 'Discovery'.

Overall, this is a brilliant album and one that highlighted dance music at the height of its powers at the turn of the century.
