DEEP DISCOG DIVE: Daft Punk

[@MicTheSnare]

What better way to kick off a new year with new possibilities than to redo an old video! Joking aside, over the past year I had seen a ton of comments asking for a Daft Punk DDD redo. And with their breakup last year, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to revisit their catalog in full. The old DDD is in the comments, but this one replaces it in every way. Thanks for watching!

[@leonelx97]

[@thecaremaker1001]

Good dive and all, but how much will I have to bribe you for the Aphex discog dive. There's no way it's beating Nirvana and all that so please Mic I swear to god.

[@LandonRhodus]

Hey! This is easily now one of my favorite videos of yours! (There are many tho). You covered Daft Punk in such elegance and I am so glad that you have been going back to old videos that need a bit of a touch up in quality. If ever in the future you want to do another redo, I would Love one on the strokes now that more music from them has come out. Can’t wait for the future of your channel man and keep up the great work!! :)

Surely I'm not the only one who still listens to Random Access Memories. One of the best homages to the music they grew up with. So much time and effort put in to make probably the best produced album of this century with legends of the craft doing what they do best.

[@andreantunes8615]

Random Access Memories might not be the most talked about album these days, but I think it's absolutely the Rosetta Stone of present-day pop. Revivalist 70s/80s throwbacks with a modern dance influence is pretty much where the genre is at now. Like, did anyone listen to Dawn FM and not think of Daft Punk? Their influence is right there, it's obvious.

I think RAM surely lost impact as the 2010s moved on, but with many mainstream artists trying to emulate the past nowadays it does sound relevant again. DP was truly ahead of its time.

[@calebdonaldson8770]

LIGHTYEARS AHEAD

[@capedluna]

See? That is where RAM feels special. A lot of ppl have the 70s/80s sound but are pretty young and are going with the flow of a producer, most may never listened to it. (Nothing wrong but at least having hear your parents play something always gives that feeling of appreciation where it came from idk how to put into words) Anyways, DP lived those decades and as Thomas said it was a "love letter" to those decades they grew up in. You can hear the influence and passion of multiple ideas of ppl they loved. That there is what makes RAM imo special. Them knowing what they wanted, what the inspiration was. They always had control of their successes and failures and they know how to lead.

[@yonkers_millyrock]

instant crush's weirdness is really what i love about it. that was the first julian casablancas song i ever heard and i thought his strange blown-out vocoding was absolutely angelic. i then listened to the strokes' first album for the very first time and was kind of shocked by his rougher natural voice from the band's early years, but i was somehow able to reconcile these two versions of the same voice just because they both had the same extremely compelling emotional intensity. then i got into the voidz and, when it came out, the new abnormal, and now in 2022 i feel like julian has hit a real sweet spot between his early singing style and that on instant crush. his voice and the song are real attention-grabbers, i'll give them that (and the strokes are top 5 of all time for me now. so)

[@scooterwearssocks]

“Touch” is probably my favorite song of all time. I know it’s not something you can listen to casually or even semi-regularly, but I rarely listen to it out of fear I’ll lose appreciation for it

@@cara_carambola I was test driving a vehicle I had just worked on at my dealership. Had to put quite a few miles on it and hit the interstate. I was taken aback by the beginning and by the end I broke down crying. Can't explain why. I do know the last few lines were very raw to me. Sweet touch, you've given me too much to feel. Sweet touch, you've almost convinced me I'm real. That was the moment I couldn't hold it in. My entire day was spent trying to forget it so I could go back and listen for the first time. I've had similar moments when discovery dropped. I was 10 and for the first time felt overwhelmed by music. Digital love, one more time, and something about us made me become more than just a music listener. I really started experiencing music after those songs. Daft Punk changed the way I enjoy music and I can never thank them enough. My only regret is never being able to see them live. Alive 2007 would have been the pinnacle moment to see them and I missed out for no real reason at all except letting life pass me by as a young teen.

[@KaitlynKatt]

As lame as it sounds, I’ve genuinely never been able to get through the song without crying, the emotions it brings up in me are so strong and overwhelming, so I don’t listen it to very often but it’s definitely one of my all time favorite songs

It's a real tear jerker.

[@SynGirl32]

I mostly agreed with everything you said, except for the RAM hype comment. It may be because I'm a more dedicated Daft Punk fan, but RAM still has plenty of hype as one of the biggest albums of the 2010s, is well remembered by a lot of people and is generally a part of the treasured "vinyl revival starter pack." It may have gotten a lot more hype compared to Daft Punk's previous work, but it is by no means forgotten.

[@altjacobs]

RAM is one of those records you put on with the homies much later in the night when you've burned through all of the new and exciting stuff, and you're mellowing out from the hype, and someone suddenly says "hey, put on doin it right" and you think "damn, this record is good, why do I forget about it?".

[@valenouteda7026]

The Weeknd's recent music can be attributed partly to DP, i think. some of Dawn FM sounds a lot like RAM.

[@RatzaChewy]

Bruno Mars has carried the flag, but it seems to have become his 'thing' rather than a mainstream trend. There's still plenty of artists on the periphery that have followed through with it, though. Janelle Monáe has done pretty well channelling Prince for the last few years. And even further out of the mainstream, we had vaporwave and future funk as some of the most famous Soundcloud/Bandcamp microgenres. What we got instead were 80s synth homages across nearly every genre. So, it appears their collabs with The Weeknd were much more influential in the end.

[@joeybatmania9327]

Every time a new funk/disco-inspired track becomes a hit, the press goes “Disco’s finally back, baby!” as if it hasn’t happened repeatedly since 2013.

Daft Punk was the first album I ever bought for myself, which was "Discovery" in 2001. I was 10 years old, and I saw the "One More Time" video from Interstella 5555 on Toonami, and I NEEDED more. The day they broke up, I definitely cried. They were extremely influential in my musical tapestry.

I do get that "Around the World" has only three lyrics, but I don't know why people don't talk about the fact that it's part of the legacy of all-time great songs that are reinterpretations of one of the all-time great disco songs: Chic's "Good Times". "Rapper's Delight" straight up sampled Good Times, which drew legal action but also proved that rapping over a good song is a great way to write good rap songs. After that there were more songs that took that disco bass/guitar influence like Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust", the Clash's "This Is Radio Clash", INXS's "Need You Tonight", Blondie's "Rapture", Dua Lipa's "Love Again", and of course "Around the World". But of all of them I think "Around the World" gets the genius of "Good Times". If you're going to make a song with a bass beat and feel like that you need to wind through the ideas while still letting the people dancing to it feel comfortable, like they don't want to leave the comfort of the song. It's not a coincidence that when Daft Punk decided to make two more songs like this ("Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself to Dance") they just cut the crap and called Nile Rogers (the guy who wrote "Good Times") and asked for the disco groove right from the source.

RAM does not cater to the modern listener. It is meant to be digested rather than just serve as background stimulus while driving or working out or whatever. If you're willing to sit down and appreciate the sounds they are creating, you'll get why it is timeless. But RAM never was a performance album, which is what is needed nowadays for albums to be remembered amongst the masses years down the road.

It’s crazy how much impact Daft Punk has had on music. Many artists cite Alive 2007 as what kickstarted EDMs resurgance in the early 2010s.

One of the best musical acts of ALL TIME.

I actually listened to Random Access Memories just in the last week of December! I love that album with all my heart. It feels like I can put that album on and suddenly be mentally on the beach sipping some fruity drink as the sun sets washing the sky in brilliant pinks, oranges, and reds. It's such an easy record to listen to. Beyond will and forever be one of my favourite tracks from them, with it's gentle promise of knowing that there's always something beyond the horizon for the listener. I really wish that there was more in Daft Punk's catalogue just in general. Four albums feels like a small number for a group to put out, and it is, but each Album feels like some sort of evolution from previous work, and I'm grateful for that. I'm happy for the material that we have, and I'll listen to their stuff one more time (HA) and then some. Like, I was part of the 90's Eurodance wave as a kid, and there's a lot of material there that I'll crank up to 11. But hearing the strains of One More Time on the radio when I was 11 just hit something in me, and I've been listening to dance and electronica ever since. So thanks, Daft Punk, for bringing life back to music.

To steal a saying from Porter Robinson, another one of my musical favorites, Daft Punk is fundamental to my life on the same level as water.

The first time I listened to Around The World, that part halfway through where all the instruments cut out except hi-hats, claps, and the vocal loop...and then that incredible descending synth line plays for the first time, followed by the beat dropping again a few bars later.

17:52 this Arrested Development reference is on point!

[@evan5966]

LETS GOOOOO GREAT EPISODE THANK U FOR MAKING IT KING honestly learned so much on this video even though I've been a fan for nearly a decade! Always appreciate the amount of time and effort gone into researching each artist.

[@YershJRSZ]

These two have a massive influence on my live as it's them who pushed my interest towards music which I simply can't live without, they've literally shaped who I am

[@A_DeepLoveForOtherMen]

Been waiting all day for this. Love the videos but we need to regroup. Get on the same wavelength and ensure that one day Mic the Snare covers every car seat headrest album

[@thedogfromraditude5449]

I really don’t know how he’d do that, because there’s so much stuff and it overlaps so much. There are the four studio albums from when they’re an actual band, but then everything before that is just Bandcamp demos. The same songs are on multiple albums, a lot of it can get really messy. And if Mic wants to do a real DDD, he can go even further into the stuff on Bandcamp that isn’t even on Spotify. Although CSH is one of my favorite bands, I’ve never really went deep into their catalogue beyond the four Matador albums because it’s just confusing and I don’t know where to start.

[@A_DeepLoveForOtherMen]

@@thedogfromraditude5449 I'm am in awe of your response. Everyone's favourite dog has replied to me. As for a proper DDD I think he could do it. I think looking back their discography is a bit confusing but most of it is on Spotify. I love the early stuff. Nervous Young Man is a masterpiece. If you want to get into their early stuff the best way to do it is just to dive in. I put random songs form the early albums in playlists. It's how I got into a lot of their early stuff

[@schnozchan6606]

as a big fan of julian casablancas and in particular his work with the voidz, instant crush is definitely one of my favourite daft punk songs. it's a dream collab for me, casablancas has such an insane talent for melodies, paired with daft punk's production and songwriting, OOF it works so well.

[@MarineMan215]

Speaking of Julian did you have a chance to listen to The Infinity Repeating demo he did with Daft Punk for the 10th anniversary release of Random Access Memories?

[@williamoconnell12]

Thank you for the Voyager shout. My favorite song by them. It sounds like piloting a rocket and just breaking through the atmosphere, seeing the planet from a perspective that only you and a very exclusive group of others have seen prior.

[@robertfcasas]

"Instant Crush" makes way more sense if you heard Julian's solo album "Phrazes for the Young" beforehand and in retrospect considering his work with The Voidz. I think it's less a weird choice by Daft Punk and more a remarkable talent that Julian has for upcycling any genre he dabbles in.

[@NavinNoronha]

Random Access Memories is still my absolute favourite Daft Punk album. I absolutely adore it, and by the looks of it, so do a lot of others out here.

[@plaplaplapla]

Contact from RAM is one of my favorites songs ever, and I can't explain why at all

[@the_internet2]

I'm only commenting at the 11 minute mark, but I've gotta say: this guy is really good! Great editing, good research, and all of the jokes hit!

[@IolZ555]

I grew up listening to Discovery and watching the music videos paired with it. Every so often I’ll go back and listen to the album and think about the music videos and the memories I have attached to each song and get the chills. Discovery has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. No skips on it whatsoever, banger after banger.

[@NoOneReallySpecial]

Heck yes, Daft Punk! One of my all-time favorite bands. Sad to see they've broken up but so happy to have all the wonderful music they made. Glad to see you doing their discography. It's all quite fascinating. Edits: I knew it! Always felt like "Music Sounds Better With You" and Phoenix were just "daft Punk off-brands" and now it all makes sense! Get Lucky and many of its other releases still play on the radio, so IDK what you're talking about. Instant Crush's video made me cry the first time I saw it and now I get sad and teary when the song comes on. I hate death and no matter how much I try to listen to that song, it just won't stop affecting me. How can you not tell Starboy has Daft Punk? They MADE that song great! My wedding song is "Digital Love"!

[@nnnnnn496]

Let's get married to Digital Love

[@bwharris2002]

It’s so crazy that you brought up that 8 measure moment in get lucky. When I hear that song, I also find myself loving that little section, but I never thought others paid that much attention to it. It’s cool to hear that other appreciated it. I wish Daft Punk had used that effect more frequently throughout their discography.

[@Mark6O9]

There will never be a band like Daft Punk ever again. But their music will live on

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

13:45 ish: Alive 2007 is exactly why i like Human After All. They CRUSHED those remixes and i cranked that album that entire summer in my 94 camery. Good times.....

[@emmalynmeyer6646]

I would love to see a DDD for the Red Hot Chili Peppers! There's a ton of crazy history with the band members as well as their public image. Similar to Bowie, they started off slow but grew into their unique sound as time went on, and Anthony Kiedis went from knowing nothing about music to crafting a unique and fascinating voice. They're also just a staple of American 90s rock that is still making great music today. I know you do a lot more alternative rock bands, but I'd love to hear your opinion on RHCP!

[@marcen12]

Touch is my fav Daft Punk song. I remember hearing the song with my boyfriend while he was driving me home. I had tears in my eyes.

[@Walkuerus]

How can you just swoop over "Touch" like it's not even on RAM?! It's my favorite song of all time. It just has everything. Also: Check for special Japan release of RAM (and the other albums). They have some relativly unknown songs published exclusivly for the japan market.

[@JamesMBC]

Get Lucky is great, but Touch is a masterpiece. A treasure of mankind.

[@gamerf9000]

23:56 "French radio", yep my favorite Dutch French radio station 3FM : ) Fun fact: Get Lucky is actually still relatively popular in the Netherlands, it still appears rather high in our national yearly top 2000 songs of all time list

[@tobyjenkins2341]

Daft Punk is quite possibly my favorite music act ever so it was amazing to see you give their careers the re-telling you deserved. Discovery is also my favorite album of all-time and I was smiling during your entire recap of it.

[@DownChucked]

I remember seeing "One More Time" on MTV for the first time as both an exposure to Daft Punk as a band and anime as a medium, and it really did shape my life forever. Discovery is probably my favorite album of all time and RAM is in my top 5 albums of all time. I make it a point every year to rewatch Interstella 5555 and relisten to their whole discography at least once. Really, the biggest artist influence in my life, and I don't see that ever changing.

[@devinbrady4433]

Discovery is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. The memories I have growing up with it are amazing. My absolute favorites are Digital Love, Voyager, Something about us, and face to face. It’s just one of the albums that defined me as a person and I go back to listen to constantly

[@FormerHero]

your videos are the best thing about Logging On thank u for keeping this series going !!!!!

[@andrevitalpardue5097]

"Something About Us" is like the best love song ever. I don't care.

[@iklock]

The guitar solo at the end of Digital Love perfectly encapsulates the feeling of love. Probably my favourite Daft Punk moment.

[@RazgrizBlaze]

And the solo at the end of Something About Us perfectly encapsulates the feeling of loss, at least to me. Crazy how something so simple can fill me to the brim with both positive and negative emotions.

[@karamelara8878]

not me crying while watching it because i grew up with daft punk and thinking back on what they did is just wild!! They made who i am today and even though i just started in music as a hobby they still are my biggest inspiration and will always be. Thank you so much for making a discog dive on them!!

[@smirkingshark]

"whens the last time you listened to Random Access Memories" um, literally every day? Lmao joking aside I listen to this album all the time, and strangely enough one of the songs that just doesn't spark for me anymore (atm) is Get Lucky. Maybe it's because I attached a lot of nostalgia to this song to the point where the actual can't live up to it lmao. Anyways great video!! Loving the revisits, hell yeah

[@TheHutcharmy]

This video is how I learned about Alive 2007, and after listening to it, fully ascending and cleaning my kitchen in my new apartment in one hour, I need to say a huge thanks to you Mic. This is a new phase of my life

[@sopharoo]

would absolutely love a DDD about fleetwood mac, since their internal drama and stylistic changes are about as dramatic as it gets, plus they're one of my faves

[@blumiere]

i think im going to go ahead and say that this was my favorite youtube video of 2022. never before have i seen a video that emblemizes the legacy of daft punk so well, and on top of that, explained so clearly. genuinely the most fresh commentary and editing ive heard in a minute, to the point where i think i need to reassess my own styles of producing/writing/editing etc. very often when i fall in love with a project i love to extrapolate the world around it, see what people have to say about it, learn new things, understand what choices were made behind the scenes, etc. and to see all that here and more is gratifying each and every time. im reminded just how much these goats impacted the industry through the moments you like to touch on in telling their story and what they made. you talk about pacing, i think youve nailed it to a tee. i don't think ive ever laughed so hard at a moment as much as 5:08. ive shared this video with countless people who finish it with a better appreciation for their legacy and what they did for music. it's one thing to create a video for the daft clubbers, but its another to retain interest of those unfamiliar with the two, and for that i applaud you. i know that this year was a tough one, my utmost condolences to you and your loved ones, but please know that you've made something that gives me, and many others, a place of warmth, joy and escapism. i know this writes itself like a copypasta, but ive never been more inspired from a video before. thank you.

[@wpk914]

I remember thinking RAM was just okay in high school, a feeling that's actually soured a bit overtime. BUT, Doin' It Right is one of the most fantastic songs I've ever heard, so on points it's still positive over all

[@slystone4892]

Just ok? To me is their best album, is just gorgeous.

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

I love that song

[@daftereverafter1648]

I love Daft Punk so much, and it’s pretty hard to find any new content nowadays, so thank you for this! 💓

[@Llamanator1]

Would love a deep discog dive on Phoenix. Their music has aged so well and they haven’t ever released a bad album.

[@Tovatype17]

Crazy that Laurent was first in a band with Guy and Thomas, that’s awesome

[@jaguarpatrol]

I fricking love discovery, the album is literally like I'm a kid again finding a whole bunch of cool new songs again. I also love how the way I got into daft punk was from watching the whole of interstella 5555 out of pure fascination. Truly top tier stuff.

[@leonst.7471]

Feck you´re channel has grown since last time I was here...damn just checked that was a year ago atleast.

[@NerdsOuttaControl]

"I'll start by saying the following: the following" might be the best joke I've heard on KZbin in a few years.
