Throughout their legendary career, Daft Punk continued to prove that the more robotic their music became, the more human they sounded. This dichotomy came to a head on their third album, aptly titled\xa0Human After All. Where their past two records wired their circuits and gave the robots a voice, on\xa0Human After All, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo gave Daft Punk sentience. On Human After All robots rock, but they also question their rigid programming. The record's ensuing tour and resulting live album,\xa0Alive 2007, furthered the narrative by ushering in a new age of live electronic performance. The impact of these two records range from the development of EDM to everlasting hits like \u201cTechnologic.\u201d On episode three of our Listening 2 Daft Punk series, we take a look at these two records, and how both\xa0Alive\xa0and\xa0Human After All\xa0imbued the robots with super intelligence.\n\nSongs Discussed\n\nDaft Punk - Human After All\n\nDaft Punk - The Prime Time of Your Life\n\nDaft Punk - Robot Rock\n\nBreakwater - Release the Beast\n\nDaft Punk - Steam Machine\n\nDaft Punk - The Brainwasher\n\nBlack Sabbath - Iron Man\n\nDaft Punk - Technologic\n\nDaft Punk - Emotion\n\nJohn Williams \u2013 Wild Signals\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Touch It / Technologic\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Oh Yeah\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Technologic\n\nBusta Rhymes \u2013 Touch It\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Around the World / Harder Better Faster Stronger\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Face to Face / Short Circuit\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Da Funk / Daftendirekt\n\nKanye West \u2013 Stronger\n\nKanye West \u2013 On Sight\n\nDaft Punk \u2013 Human After All / Together / One More Time / Music Sounds Better With You\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
