Editorial Reviews

Sounds and images - the essence of Daft Punk's art! Here are all their singles (in no particular order), a trio of rare remixes plus all the videos (including a new one to "Prime Time Of Your Life"). They flew in the face of pop stardom, erasing their humanity from their releases, the inadventent star duet went against the cult of the celebrity zooming in on the strobe light rather than the pop star below it. Already challenging on record, they decided that wasn't enough so they worked on the visual aspect as well. As a result, their videos have always made an instant impact, thanks to the enlistment young maverick video producers to visually interpret their work. These included Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Seb Janiak and Roman Coppola. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Da Finest!!!, April 12, 2006

If you're like me, you've already got everyone of these tracks and remixs on Daft Punk's various albums, DVD's & singles. So you ask yourself "Why should I buy this album when I've already got all these tracks?" Well, with this collection you get the best of DP's tracks all on one disc. Whether you've been a fan like me over the years, or if you've just discovered them this collection definately does the Punk's right. This CD/DVD will make a worthy entry in anyones collection. Even if you don't think you know Daft Punk, I can almost garuntee that you do. With tracks like "Around The World", "Da Funk", "One More Time" & the now just as classic "Human After All" it's a safe bet you've heard them at least once in your life time before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the videos!, April 16, 2006

Any Daft Punk fan knows that a "best of" collection is a pointless buy, since all their albums are fantastic from start to finish. However, this collection comes with a DVD of all their music videos. It's worth it for that, since all of them are top notch. Buy it for the videos, if you're just getting into Daft Punk I'd suggest buying their albums, and avoiding Daft Club and the Human After All Remixes at all cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harder, ALWAYS Better, ALWAYS Faster, ABSOLUTELY Stronger, April 24, 2006

Daft Punk is one of those groups that is able to combine techno and electronic music into the simplest forms of music that tops even some of the hardest dance tunes (examples of SIMPLE: Around The World, Da Funk, Robot Rock). I found Daft Punk a little bit harder to get familiar with, cause I thought their work was very different from the usual techno you hear nowadays (The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, etc). A lot of people say that Daft Punk is one of those groups that is in its own genre of techno and electronic music, but I disagree. A lot of other DJ's have become familiar with their work and enjoy re-working their music, making their songs through mixes/remixes more recognizable. Since their last album (Human After All), they've made quite an exception in the world of techno and electronic music. Musique, Vol. I brings together their best (Something About Us, Technologic, Revolution 909, etc...), along with three remix tracks towards the end of the CD. The DVD is definitely worth the extra couple bucks added onto the $19.99. The music videos are very unique and are well put together w/ each song. Daft Punk fans will enjoy this Singles set.
