Daft Punk - music group - Brief Article

Interview, May, 2001 by Christine Weydig

Discovery (Virgin)

No, Daft Punk have not died; they've spent the past two years tunneling through the electro-dance underground towards the mainstream. Resurfacing with their second album, Discovery, the Parisian duo has already bum-rushed the European charts with their single "One More Time." While the edginess of their scorching debut, Homework, is dulled, this clever confection of pop tropes delivers equally seductive beats. Nimble production infuses each track with an uplifting quality--a welcome tonic for the sardonic electronic music scene.
