Daft Punk

Step into the Human After All elevator and push level (track) 5. Once there, you will not come across the typical Daft Punk style. You won't be getting out of your seat to dance, but you may lie in bed awake, dreaming vividly of a world unlike your own. Slowly then, the melodic robots begin serenading you to sleep. The final product results in elevator music on performance-enhancing psychedelic drugs.

And I must say, there is something quite admirable about the way Daft Punk conduct themselves. In particular, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo strive for anonymity, and let the music speak for itself. It's something we could all learn from in today's age. Let actions and accomplishments do the talking. And once you begin to do extraordinary things alone, extraordinary people will follow.

There is an allusion to this attitude in their more recent track, Beyond:


"The perfect song is framed with silence
It speaks of places never seen
Your home's a promise long forgotten
It is the birthplace of your dreams"

Never before has something so synthetic sounded so genuine and sincere.
