Listening 2 Daft Punk: Discovery
Daft Punk\u2019s first album laid the groundwork for their robot personas, with four to the floor beats, programmed drum machines, and sequenced synthesizers. On their second album\xa0Discovery, Daft Punk fully lean into the artificial \u2013 singing through robotic vocoders that correspond with their now-iconic robot helmets.\nBut in there is a paradox, explored on episode 2 of Listening to Daft Punk: the more machine the robots become, the more human the music sounds.\n\nSongs Discussed\n\nDaft Punk - One More Time\n\nDaft Punk - Teachers\n\nDaft Punk - Aerodynamic\n\nSister Sledge - Il Macquillage Lady\n\nAC/DC - Thunderstruck\n\nLaurie Anderson - O Superman\n\nDaft Punk - Revolution 909\n\nKraftwerk - Autobahn\n\nKraftwerk - The Robots\n\nEarth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove\n\nHerbie Hancock - I Thought It Was You\n\nZapp - More Bounce to the Ounce\n\nStevie Wonder - 1-2-3 Sesame Street\n\nCher - Believe\n\nKid Rock -\xa0Only God Knows Why\n\nBarry Manilow - Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed\n\nDaft Punk - Superheroes\n\nEdwin Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby\n\nElectric Light Orchestra - Evil Woman\n\nDaft Punk - Face to Face\n\nDaft Punk - Something About Us\n\nDaft Punk - Voyager\n\nDaft Punk - Veridis Quo\n\nDaft Punk - Superheroes\n\nDaft Punk, Pharrell Williams - LYTD (Vocoder Tests) [feat.
