The album was regarded as an innovative synthesis of techno, house, acid house and electro styles, and is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance music albums of the nineties.

'Da Funk' and 'Alive' were later included on Daft Punk's 1997 debut album Homework. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses. A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people. We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. In reality, we're more like partners with Virgin. We weren't interested in the money, so we turned down labels that were looking for more control than we were willing to give up. They came from everywhere, but we decided to wait-partly because we didn't want to lose control of what we had created. Bangalter spoke of the duo's decision to sign with Virgin: The band signed with Virgin Records in September 1996 and made a deal through which they licensed their tracks to the major label through their production company, Daft Trax. They had no trouble finding one at the time as they chose Pedro Winter, who regularly promoted them and other artists at his Hype night clubs. After the success of 'Da Funk', Daft Punk looked to find a manager. It became their first commercially successful single the same year. The single also contained the final mix of 'The New Wave' called ' Alive', which was to be featured on their first album.Дaft Punk returned to the studio in May 1995 to record ' Da Funk'. The demo tape given to Macmillan at the rave formed the basis for Daft Punk's debut single, ' The New Wave', a limited release in 1994. In 1993 Daft Punk attended a rave at EuroDisney, where they met Stuart Macmillan of Slam, co-founder of the label Soma Quality Recordings. Homework era (1993вЂ“1999) Main article: Homework#Recording History Bangalter and de Homem-Christo formed Daft Punk and experimented with drum machines and synthesizers. As de Homem-Christo stated, 'We struggled so long to find Darlin', and this happened so quickly.' Darlin' soon disbanded, leaving Brancowitz to pursue other efforts with Phoenix. Instead of dismissing the review, they found it to be amusing. It was so brief, maybe six months, four songs and two gigs and that was it.' A negative review in Melody Maker subsequently dubbed the music 'daft punky thrash'. Bangalter felt that 'The rock n' roll thing we did was pretty average, I think. Stereolab released both tracks on a multi-artist Duophonic Records EP and invited the band to open for stage shows in the United Kingdom. The indie rock trio had branded themselves after The Beach Boys song of the same name, which they covered along with an original composition. Bangalter on bass, de Homem-Christo on guitar and vocals, while Brancowitz performed on drums. This eventually led to the formation of the guitar-based group called Darlin' with Laurent Brancowitz in 1992. The two became good friends through their shared love of music and film, and they would create their own short films and demo songs. recruit Kid Cudi hops on 'Welcome To Heartbreak' and the breezy 'Paranoid.' The album isn't concerned with guest spots or the usual Kanye chipmunk breaks, but Jeezy turns in a quick verse on 'Amazing,' and 'Bad News' features a sample of Nina Simone's 'See Line Woman.Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo met in 1987 while attending the LycГ©e Carnot, a secondary school in Paris. It's also crazy to hear Fool's Gold's young gun on the come-up as newly inked G.O.O.D. Personality aside, the thumping lead single 'Love Lockdown' and follow-up 'Heartless' are just solid joints by any standards. What's so compelling about Kanye West that makes everyone clamor for anything new the man drops? Four albums deep and I'm still not quite sure - but I do know that if you told me about some other rando artist who whipped up an album in a month using mainly Auto-Tune and a TR-808, I probably wouldn't care this much.
