‘Discovery’ was Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo‘s second successive album release on March 21, 2001, following their debut album ‘Homework‘ in 1997. ‘Discovery’ features a handful of Daft Punk’s most iconic songs including ‘Digital Love‘, ‘Aerodynamic‘, ‘Superheroes‘ and the legendary track ‘One More Time‘ which proved a commercial success, receiving multiple accolades. Throughout their ground-breaking 28-year-long career, the French duo helped shape electronic music and are considered one of the most influential acts in dance music history. In 2010, Daft Punk composed the score for Joseph Kosinski’s science-fiction and action film Tron: Legacy.
As the music industry continues to react to the departure of Daft Punk from the music world, their music will continue to be enjoyed by fans all around the world. So much so, a tribute concert in Manchester, United Kingdom, is set to take place this summer, and you can guarantee there will be many more tribute events just like this one to come in the following months.
