Daft Punk: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo.
Producers: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo.
Recorded at Daft House, Paris, France.
"Da Funk" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
"Around The World" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Daft Punk's full-length debut is a funk-house hailstorm, giving real form to a style of straight-ahead dance music not attempted since the early fusion days of on-the-one funk and dance-party disco. Thick, rumbling bass, vocoders, choppy breaks and beats, and a certain brash naiveté permeate the record from start to finish, giving it the edge of an almost certain classic. While a few fall flat, the best tracks make this one essential. ~ Sean Cooper
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the two French twenty-something DJs who make up Daft Punk, are relentless dance-music aficionados and historians. And unlike many of their contemporaries, their interests don't just lie in the electronic beats that have been rockin' the clubs since the mid-80s. The two knob-twiddlers are just as well-versed in Giorgio Moroder's Eurodisco grooves, Chic, and the old-school rhythms of Afrika Bambaata and the Sugarhill Records catalog, as they are in the Chicago house and Detroit techno traditions.
When they're not assembling catchy-as-hell bits of electro-pop ("Around The World"), throwing down slabs of minimalist funk ("Da Funk"), or marrying Miami bass to Kraftwerkian blips ("Oh Yeah"), Homem-Christo and Bangalter try to impart a little knowledge. On "Teachers," they use a Ween-esque distorted vocal line to name-check a broad list of influences that includes Brian Wilson, Dr. Dre, and Armand Van Helden. Their broad focus, utopian determination and, of course, their way with a beat earn Daft Punk's HOMEWORK a well-deserved "A".Spin (9/99, p.158) - Ranked #76 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."
Spin (1/98, p.87) - Ranked #16 on Spin's list of the "Top 20 Albums Of The Year."
Entertainment Weekly (5/23/97, p.64) - "...Daft Punk never forget to let their playful, hip-hopping ambient techno keep turning the beat around, making HOMEWORK ideal disco for androids." - Rating: B+
Q (1/98, p.112) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997."
Q (4/97, p.120) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Weirdo-funk, then, with lashings of trash-culture, cool and crunchy breakbeats. Daft Punk always sound original, inventive, exciting and dangerous..."
Melody Maker (12/20-27/97, pp.66-67) - Ranked #17 on Melody Maker's list of 1997's "Albums Of The Year."
Village Voice (2/24/98) - Ranked #35 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
NME (Magazine) (12/20-27/97, pp.78-79) - Ranked #11 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll. Homework Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews The best electronica album of the 90's
From hardcore techno, to funky music, the French duo Daft Punk show the world that Techno can be more creative then other music styles. Homework show that in 15 tracks, tracks like "Around the World" and "Da Funk" will make you shake your bones. Homework can't be out of your collection.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The grandfather of dance music
With songs like "Around The World", "Da Funk" and "Revolution 909" its hard not to get up and bust-a-move.
Daft Punk are the headmasters of dance music, and Homework will keep you occupied for years. Hats off to one of the greatest albums ever!

By the time of its release, the group had two number one British singles with "Firestarter" and "Breathe" and had begun to make inroads in America.

Using the textured soundscapes of The Bends as a launching pad, Radiohead delivered another startlingly accomplished set of modern guitar rock with OK Computer. The anthemic guitar heroics present on Pablo Honey and even The Bends are nowhere to be heard here. Radiohead have stripped away many of the obvious elements of guitar rock, creating music that is subtle and textured yet still has the feeling of rock & roll. Even at its most adventurous -- such as the complex, ...

Four long years after their debut, Homework, Daft Punk returned with a second full-length, also packed with excellent productions and many of the obligatory nods to the duo's favorite stylistic speed bumps of the 1970s and '80s. Discovery is by no means the same record, though. Deserting the shrieking acid house hysteria of their early work, the album moves in the same smooth ...
| | Daft Punk Human After All CD (2005)
Homework
$11.35 
Daft Punk: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Thomas Bangalter (various instruments).
Daft Punk has always been one of dance music's most flexible -- and accessible -- acts, spanning the relentless pulse of Homework and the lush, sprawling Discovery with a distinctive wit and playfulness that made fans of electronic music diehards and indie rockers alike. Though the long-awaited Human After All retains that playfulness, it's the duo's simplest album, which oddly enough, makes it their most difficult to embrace at first. Human After All was made in six weeks, and sounds like it -- and not always in a good way: the quick-and-dirty recording process and limited palette of grainy synths, vocoders, and guitars do lend a stripped-down, spontaneous feel, but just as often, this minimal approach feels like it's supporting minimal ideas. Most of Human After All's tracks concentrate on one or two heavily repeated motifs, giving some of the tracks the feeling of demos copied and pasted to a full song length (even more uncharitably, you could say that they sound like parts of a Daft Punk beats-and-loops ...
