Bleep

Raw and reckless rave attitude was the order of the day for the debut album from Daft Punk. Originally released in 1997, the seminal party album doffs its cap to the roots of dance music, pulling in elements of electro, acid, funk, techno and house. Proving its consummate worth it spawned a generation of fellow rave fanatics and the foundations of a burgeoning French electro-house scene. Musically, it’s unashamed and unreserved - big bombastic beats battling it out with brittle guitar licks and bold vocoder vocals. Relentlessly energetic and brash, it’s essential stuff.
