Daft Punk

daft punk musicPerhaps you really cannot have too much of a good thing. For its remix disc, "Daft Club," French duo Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and GuyManuel De [Homem Christo) showcases the work of others-specifically, DJ/producers who reconstructed songs primarily from the act's 2001 album, "Discovery."

Complete Selection of Daft Punk

Two tracks ("Aerodynamic" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger") are revisited more than once here. Fortunately, the various versions work. Slum Village adds an underground vibe to the originally ethereal "Aerodynamic." Guess what? These opposing forces bounce well off each other. Jess & Crabbe's deceptively simple rejigging of "Harder, Better" completely reinvigorates a song that was pretty much perfect to begin with. In the Neptunes' hands, "Harder, Better" becomes a lounge-styled track; this, too, strikes a great note.

Daft Punk : Specials

Other worthy mentions are Boris Dlugosh's reruh of "Digital Love" and Basement Jaxx's retweaking of "Phoenix" (the only track here from Daft Punk's debut, "Homework"). First released overseas last December, "Daft Club" will hopefully help fans forgive the band for notoriously waiting years between album releases. See also new wave music | more
