https://youtu.be/DuDX6wNfjqcthis sucks, but they stayed good and they stayed relevant for so long, and they split agreeably

I wish them the best in their future endeavors. But if they decide to just completely stop? They'll have earned it.
like especially when it comes to making time for touring and appearances

Thanks French Robots for giving me so many tunes to groove to.
This flash animation was my first exposure to Daft Punk. At the time, I didn’t even know they were a band... I just thought this was a song made for this video.
But man... they were just consistently good for a long time.
Daft Punk also appeared in DJ Hero, which was the highlight of the game for me.
Funny enough, they also did a lot of co-production on Yeezus's first three tracks
Anyways this news doesn't terribly surprise me, RAM was eight years ago now and I think my own world had hit peak Daft Punk even a few years prior to that
I think a lot about how one of the stated goals of Random Access Memories as a concept album of sorts was to rejuvenate funk and disco in pop music and, based on the ouvres of artists like Bruno Mars and many others, I think their aim proved true in the span of time since
They did it. What more did they even have left to do?
Ironically I absolutely despise Stronger for ruining the greatness that is Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
Sad to see them go but all things must end and at least it was an amicable split. I saw Tron Legacy entirely because they did the soundtrack and they were the only good part about that movie. Derezzed still gets me pumping to this day.
You wound me on so many levels!
it looked AMAZING in 3D with the soundtrack pumping, it was one of my favorite theatre experiences
still go back to that soundtrack often when I need to do coding
It's basically just the best bits of French house mixed with the best bits of acid house distilled and blended, a small chorus of 303s blazing in glorious harmony
Here's the playlist from their official channel:

For you see, for my 11th birthday I dearly wished for a cd album of a band I had watched a lot on a music channel. It was catchy and it was in my mind, so I told my mom and on my birthday I eagerly opened the cd I wished for. And it was NOT The gift of the game by Crazy Town nor P.O.D. single I thought I asked for. Instead I got this wierd album called "Discovery"? and there was no pictures of who made them or anything.
A bit dejected I put the cd into my stereo and got lost in the music. Of course I skipped ahead on the stranger tracks for me like "Aerodynamic", "Something about us" and especially "Too long". But I really got into the more easier to listen to songs like "One more time", "Digital Love" and "Voyager". As I tend to get focused on only playing those songs a bunch that day and for the next two weeks, I think my family was annoyed at times, but happy in the end. I even brought the music to school to listen mainly to "One more time" and "Digital love".
Even the years following getting the album, I listened to the album more and got a more taste of their other songs. And even listening to their other tracks on early youtube. Even if I didn't like the song outright I liked how they sounded and played around with the music. Since then (it's been over 19 years) they've always been in some way or shape on whatever thing I listened to music on. Hell I still have some of their tracks from Random Access Memories on my phone right now.
For me, they are artists that it didn't matter what they style they played, I was always interested in what they've made, how it was made and just enjoying their output. I hope everyone has a couple of artists/directors/actors they also follow in the same way. I'm not even sad it's over. Just happy that I've listened to their songs.
Well they can celebrate and feel so free at least one more time
RAM was the ultimate distillation of their work, I'd say.
Getting older has been awful, don't recommend.
I can only imagine how absolutely nuts it would have felt to be there for that
(video is stitched together from a bunch of different audience footage)
So thank you Daft Punk
Alive 2007 is their best album and it's not even close, by the by.
Daft Punk remixing and mashing up Daft Punk is like musical alchemy concentrating primordial groove down its purest essence
I wouldn't find out until later that the music videos were part of a larger animated movie that didn't just end on a cliffhanger as the Crescendolls arrived on Earth and were transformed into a human band.
Now I'm holding out hope that we get the full footage from Coachella, instead of just this tease:
edit: the card is extra retro now, since real credit cards don't have the embossed numbers on them anymore.
One of them was Daft Punk's Discovery.
The other two were Dangerdoom and the Kill Bill soundtrack because this was like 2005. That album got me through YEARS of animation classes and commuting around Chicago.
