Matsumoto/Daft Punk Videos Online

mvw noted that Toonami is serving up the four videos directed by Star Blazers creator Leiji Matsumoto for the first four tracks on Daft Punk album Discovery. The album is an absolute masterpiece and one of my favorite CDs. The videos are impressive too, telling a continuing story through each of the four songs with that distinctive style. Anyway, I was just pleased to see them online since I only got to see them once when Toonami aired them. and figured others would enjoy this.

    Damn limited titles.


    I'm totally gonna get painted a troll for this, but while I really like the direction they've taken with their new videos et al, I haven't heard anything inspirational from Daft Punk since one of them went off and did 'music sounds better with you'. Strange that a vital, interesting band that produced 'revolution 909' and the excellent 'around the world' then ended up producing a parody of a cheesy hands-in-the-air house track, only to then recreate themselves based on a parody of that one track!



    Anyway, goodbye Karma. But I'd urge any fans of the new album that don't know the first to go and get it right now! It will change your mind about how good they really are.

    you're absolutely right ! homework was an awesome album. discovery is not that bad but it sounds like media whoring radio tunes ! it used to be all about killer electronic beats that really rocked.. I will not buy this new album.

    i seem to recall Taco saying that he would not purchase another CD due to all the bad things the music industry was doing.

    Time to come clean Taco: did you purchase this CD from Amazon?

  4. They Have been online for a while before this by geekguy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Toonami.com had first 3 Daft Punk video's on there site for over a month before they showed them plus the fourth one on Toonami. You could have been wathching them as much as you want, but now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

  5. Fighting MP3 trading the right way by Robotech_Master · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm a little surprised that none of the people who's mentioned the "Daft Card" things brought it up in this light, but it seems that Daft Punk is doing what a lot of people suggested in the past would be a good idea--not fighting MP3 trading by trying to stop it, but instead giving people an incentive to buy the CD by adding value to it. I might just have to go out and get the CD just to support that idea, if for no other reason.
