Daft Punk - Homework ( 97 ^ 159 mb)
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo met in 1987 at a secondary school in Paris, the two became good friends and later recorded demo tracks with others from the school. This eventually led in 1992 to an indie rock formation with Laurent Brancowitz on drums, Bangalter on bass and de Homem-Christo on guitar. The trio had branded themselves Darlin', 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. A negative review in Melody Maker subsequently dubbed the music "a bunch of daft punk." Instead of dismissing the review, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo found it to be amusing. Darlin' soon disbanded, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo formed Daft Punk and started experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers.
In 1993 Daft Punk attended a rave at EuroDisney, where they met Stuart Macmillan of Slam, co-founder of the label Soma Quality Recordings.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, it also contained the final mix of "The New Wave" called "Alive". Daft Punk returned to the studio in May 1995 to record "Da Funk". It became their first commercially successful single the same year. 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.
"Da Funk" and "Alive" were later included on Daft Punk's 1997 debut album Homework. 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. They combined the aforementioned music styles and elements of rave that were crowd pleasers. The most successful single from Homework was "Around the World", which is known for the repeating chant of the song's title. Daft Punk's skills at producing filter effects "to make sounds shiver up your spine, 'ardkore's sped-up and helium-squeaky vocals" lends itself to the developing style of speed garage. A mixture of rave, house, jungle (circa 1994) and ragga chants were combined with a new style of syncopated beats and textured snare drum sounds. This combination proved successful for Daft Punk in the club scene and helped bring mainstream attention to their music.
By 1999 the duo were well into the recording sessions for their second album, which had begun a year earlier.2001's Discovery took on a slicker and distinctly synthpop-oriented style, the group states that the album was conceived as an attempt to reconnect with a playful, open-minded attitude associated with the discovery phase of childhood. This accounts for the heavy use of themes and samples from the late '70s to early '80s era on the album. Its single "One More Time" was a major club hit, the singles "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" were also very successful in the UK and on the United States dance chart. A 45-minute excerpt from a Daftendirektour performance recorded at Birmingham, UK in 1997 was also released in 2001, entitled Alive 1997. 2003 first saw the release of the feature-length animated film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Daft Punk produced the film under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto, whom they have said is their childhood hero. The album Daft Club was also released to promote the film. It features a collection of remixes previously made available through an online membership service of the same name.
The duo released the album Human After All in March 2005, reviews were mixed, mostly citing its overly repetitive nature and seemingly rushed recording. The singles taken from this album were "Robot Rock", "Technologic", "Human After All" and "The Prime Time of Your Life". The earliest official statement from Daft Punk concerning the album was "we believe that Human After All speaks for itself." A Daft Punk anthology CD/DVD entitled Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005 was released on April 4, 2006. It contains new music videos for "The Prime Time of Your Life" and "Robot Rock (Maximum Overdrive)". Daft Punk also released a remix album of Human After All called Human After All: Remixes. A limited edition included two kubricks of Daft Punk as robots. On May 21, 2006, Daft Punk premiered their first directed film, Daft Punk's Electroma at the Cannes Film Festival sidebar Director's Fortnight. The film does not include their own music, midnight screenings of the film were shown in Paris theaters starting from the end of March 2007, Initial public comments have since been positive. Daft Punk released their second live album titled Alive 2007 on November 19, 2007. It contains the duo's performance in Paris from their Alive 2007 tour. The album includes a 50-page book showcasing photographs shot while on tour. The live version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" from Alive 2007 was released as a single.

VA - Cassius Present... French Disco ( 03, 58min ^ 136mb)
Cassius, a new addition to the top ranks of French electronica circa 1999, actually comprised two of the scene's most experienced producers: Philippe Zdar and Hubert Blanc-Francart (AKA Boom Bass). They first met back in the late '80s, working in the same studio (Zdar was an engineer, and Boom Bass was just learning the trade). Boom Bass worked with MC Solaar, and combined with Zdar to release two EPs on Mo' Wax as La Funk Mob during 1994. Zdar also teamed with Etienne De Crécy (from the Super Discount project) to release an LP as Motorbass. Finally, Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass came together in late 1998 as Cassius. Combining the jazzy hip-hop of Boom Bass with Zdar's phase'n'filter acid-disco, Cassius debuted with the single "Cassius 1999," a club anthem and British Top 20 hit late in 1998. The full-length album "1999" appeared early the following year. "Au Rêve", was released in 2002 with vocals from Jocelyn Brown , Steve Edwards, and Ghostface Killah on "Thrilla". In 2003 they mixed and compiled the bonus cd to what was to be the final word from Muzik Magazine. In 2006, Cassius released "15 Again", a conceptual album with tracks inspired by what they use to listen when they were teenagers.
