Electroma's two metal-machine leads commit harrowing self-destruct suicides. But their mechanized fantasies have gotten continually darker since then- consider the much more sinister robo effects on Human After All's 'The Brainwasher' and 'Television Rules the Nation'. And Discovery's accompanying animated movie, Interstella 5555, was a bright and fun technicolor cartoon. On Discovery tracks like 'Digital Love', 'Something About Us', and 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger', they employed robotic voice effects to bring out the childlike naГЇvetГ©В of artificial intelligence.

Bangalter and de Homem-Christo have flexed their robot obsession for years, but its nature has changed. The score keeps another trend going, too. Daft Punk haven't even attempted a can't-miss song in at least five years, and the Tron: Legacy soundtrack keeps that unfortunate streak alive. Their 2006 art-house indulgence Electroma went even further as it was directed by the twosome yet featured no new music.

The pyramid, the gleaming helmets, and the lite-bright leather jackets brought Daft Punk's greatest hits to a holy, undiscovered realm. Since their last proper LP, 2005's Human After All, the pair staged the greatest dance music tour of all time- one that blasted its audience with enough visual stimuli to leave them blinking stars for hours.

Over the course of the last decade, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have increasingly relied on images to complement- and sometimes justify- their music. Daft Punk aren't the same two guys who made Homework and Discovery.
