Album Of The Day: Discovery by Daft Punk

Album Art of Daft Punk's Discovery album - On a black background, what looks like drops of silvery-chrome material are suspended above the black in the shape of the words 'daft punk', with a few drops of it not making up the letters. The silvery-chrome stuff has a shadow of rainbow colors that glows, kinda like the bottom of the letters is emitting light and that's showing on the black.

Released on this day 24 years ago, this is the second album by French electronic music duo Daft Punk. Notoriously private, the two men in this group almost always wear robot helmets at any public appearances and prefer to let the music speak for itself instead of do interviews. This is one of their best albums, with hits like "One More Time" and "Harder Better Faster Stronger". Unlike their later hit album Random Access Memories, this doesn't feature many collaborations with pop/R&B industry music makers, though they do definitely collaborate with their peers in the electronic music scene. Daft Punk came up with very unique sounds for this album, using instruments in ways that no one tried before and using instruments like guitars that you don't usually expect to hear in electronic/dance music. This album is a modern classic, and is on many lists of top albums, although it's not something I listen to that often. Still, it's a fun listen full of a lot of energy and style.
