The upbeat percussion gives the track a dancefloor-ready sheen the hook’s harmonies are golden the bassline is memorable. The anthemic lyrics celebrate the weightless feeling of living in the moment and letting go all negative energy, a recurring theme in Daft Punk songs. “Too Long” is a suitable finale for Discovery. The song’s title is a play on words -in addition to being faux Latin, it can be read as “Very Disco,” which can be rearranged to form the album’s title, “Discovery.” 10. Then a beat plays -first softly, then more strongly -and Daft Punk turns the song into one of its characteristic electronic jams (albeit a mellow one) with glittering electronic flourishes.
In its first few moments, the song establishes a fantastical feel with flutelike sounds and ambient synthesizer chords. Veridis Quo conjures up images of silver skies and slowly falling snow. Daft Punk keeps things from getting dull with the introduction of cascading twinkling sounds, which continue until the track fades gracefully into silence. Its dreamy ambience and smooth flow make it a song that’s easy to listen to in any setting -doing math homework, reading a book, driving around town, et cetera. “Voyager,” a disco-inspired instrumental with a fantastic bassline, glistens like a freshly shined pair of dancing shoes. The song’s complexity and duality make it more of an “appreciate with headphones on” song than a “blast while you’re driving under the stars” song. The sudden tempo change shows that Daft Punk isn’t just interested in making club-ready hits it’s also game for experimentation. Short Circuitīeginning with an intense drum solo and segueing into a funky electronic freakout, Short Circuit is a peppy track that seems like it’ll never lose its energy… until it slows down in a glitchy fashion that’s almost ominous. While this certainly isn’t the kind of song you’d want to play at a party, it would make relaxing background music for a spa day or yoga session. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It really depends on your mood. Nightvision is a simple, calming song that gives the listener a break from the autotuned vocals and frenetic beats of the other tracks.
In honor of the exciting revelation, here is a ranking of the tracks on Daft Punk’s iconic 2001 album Discovery, which spawned some of the duo’s most popular and critically acclaimed songs. The news came as a happy surprise to Daft Punk fans, as the legendary robots have not released new music since 2012’s Random Access Memories. Recently, Wendy Goldstein, the executive vice president of Republic Records, remarked that French EDM duo Daft Punk was in the studio with Canadian R&B artist The Weeknd.
