Best Daft Punk lyrics are available below. A short Daft Punk biography, including some interesting facts we uncovered, is here for your enjoyment as well.
Daft Punk is one of the most sonorous names in dance music these days, though it came from not traditionally rich in talents Britain, but from Paris, famous for its magic influence on the fashion. The band consists of Thomas Bangalter (born on January 1, 1975) and Guy–Manual de Homem–Christo (born on February 8, 1974). They met at school years and went to the same school in Paris in 1987. They weren’t interested in French pop music at all, so they excitedly listened to the Americans. They liked the guitar of Jimi Hendrix, Motown and Stax. When the first house records began to appear in France, the twosome began an unprecedented hunt for them.
They began to listen to Andrew Weatherall, Primal Scream and The ORB. In 1990 Thomas and Guy founded the rock band “Darling”, where Guy was singer and song writer, and Thomas was back guitarist. In 1992, under the influence of Beach Boys, they recorded the song “Darling” that later became the single released by “Stereolab's Duophonic” label. The author of the review in the English magazine “Melody Maker” called the result of their first collaborate creative work as “a bunch of daft punk” that helped the guys with the choice of the name for their next project. Thomas and Guy changed their plans, having decided to work in techno style. Being under the influence of club music running through the whole Great Britain and the USA, they signed to a Swedish label “Soma Records” and released single “The New Wave” in 1994. The guy’s popularity was also gained with their remixes. In 1995 they shifted to the style of techno and funk. After recording “Da Funk”, they began touring. The important thing in their creative work was the fact that they didn’t try to create pure dance music. By 1992, club tends are hardly seen in their sounding. The music of the band is simultaneously under the influence of “Roxy Music” and “Ramones”, and also under the influence of such representative of techno and house as Loren Garnier. Bangalter’s father created lyrics for the hits of Ottawan and Gibson Brothers, so, no wonder, the base of the album “Da Funk” was the compositions, performed on the bass-guitar R303. The repeated release of “Da Funk”, recorded with “Virgin Records”, and the following “Homework” stimulated the rise of the band’s popularity among the audience that for a long time listened to French pop in light of such representatives as Johnny Holiday. A close friend of Bangalter, Stardust, created the world hit “Music Sounds Better With You” that got the status of club anthem in 1998. The second album “Discovery” was more oriented for the commercial aims. The compositions from the album weren’t so bright, hard rhythms in techno style were softened; they were replaced by a great number of incredibly tuneful retro compositions that followed the tendencies of synthetical pop. Great tracks “One More Time”, “Digital Love” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” were included into the list of the compositions of new classics.
