Daft Punk ruled the planet at the turn of the century and humans were merely automotons programmed to dance to their music. Don't believe me? Check this out. "One More Time" was an interstellar call to celebrate and dance . . . one more time. Really, that's about it. And then there's the small fact it brought auto-tune to the masses. And the fact it sounds absolutely huge and in the moment. And the fact it would be the song of choice if The D Man went clubbin' at the end of the world.
The french duo of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, preferring anonymous robot personas, stormed the French house scene and ultimately transformed it into epic, electronic dance-pop, culminating in the release of the 2001 album Discovery. "One More Time," with its heavily compressed sound and auto-tune vocals, became a global anthem worthy of the new millenium. Celebratory and wide-eyed, the song captures the essence of the youth, invention, and individuality of the digital age.

Why listen? Because you've been hardwired to listen. And dance.
Something else? "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," "Robot Rock," "Digital Love," "Aerodynamic," "Technologic," and just for fun from the previous century, "Around the World."

twinconsaThis is one of those tunes that you know you danced to but not really proud of it.
Dance proud, my friend. Dance proud.
