Paris, France (1994 – present)
Daft Punk is a multi Grammy Award-winning electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975). The duo is considered one of the most successful electronic music collaborations of all time, both in album sales and in critical acclaim. After Daft Punk reached significant popularity in the late 1990s house movement in France, other artists such as Air, Cassius, and Dimitri from Paris began to receive a similar amount of attention.
Daft Punk is also credited with producing songs that were considered essential in the French house scene. They were managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (Busy P), the head of Ed Banger Records.
Early years (1987–1993)
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo met in 1987 on the grounds of the Lycée Carnot, a secondary school in Paris, France. The two became good friends and later recorded demo tracks with others from the school. This eventually led to the formation of the guitar-based group Darlin’ with Laurent Brancowitz in 1992. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo played bass and guitar, respectively, while Brancowitz performed on drums. The indie rock trio had branded themselves after The Beach Boys song of the same name, which they covered along with an original composition. Stereolab released both tracks on a multi-artist Duophonic Records EP and invited the band to open for stage shows in the United Kingdom.

Tron + Daft Punk is such an awesome combination. I'm a little skeptical about Tron 2, but I'm pretty much expecting it to have the best film score ever.

Homework is special..But Discovery is far better,They are consistent thru out the Whole Album..Astounding and a breakthrough in Dance..Zane lowe on Radio 1 is playing this in its entirety as part of his Masterpiece Series..the other three though Very good..The Clash Album "london Calling" is one of my Fave albums..The Streets"Original Pirate Material" equally groundbreaking..Metallica,really cant be arsed to comment...I cant explain why,but its the Daft Punk Album that will be the highlight for me .Fave track not necessarily the best..Digital Love
