Homework

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo were teenagers in Paris when a British magazine called their old guitar band daft punky thrash. They took the insult as a name, switched to drum machines, and recorded this at home with cheap gear. Da Funk and Around the World became hits without either of them showing their faces, and the album pulled French house out of the clubs and onto the radio. The robot helmets came later. This is the sound of two fans figuring out they could do it themselves.
