Daft Punk's new video 'Instant Crush' is out now.
The combined talents of DJs Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the pair's first projects together included Darling, a voiceless indie cover band; their current recording name derives from a review in U.K. music weekly Melody Maker of a compilation tape Darling were featured on, released by Krautrock revivalists Stereolab (their lo-fi D.I.Y. cover of a Beach Boys song was derided as "daft punk"). Subsequently ditching the almost inevitable creative cul-de-sac of rock for the more appealing rush of the dancefloor, the pair released their debut single, "The New Wave," in 1993 on the celebrated Soma label. Instantly hailed by the dance music press as the work of a new breed of house innovators, the single was followed by "Da Funk," the band's first true hit (the record sold 30,000 copies worldwide and saw thorough rinsings by everyone from Kris Needs to the Chemical Brothers).

these guys are fucking visionary
What surprise and confuses me about this is... the money they must paid (I don't care how much) just for creating some helmets and suites, without being like.. a direct investment. Is not like they were putting that money on a new album directly, it was just to create a costum they wanted for them, a look, that maybe nobody would be interested in, maybe neither on their new album. But somehow they didn't care about that and they went and took the risk and paid probably a lot to develope this dozen of helmets and costumes, and they had only launched 1 big album at that time (Homework). "Sorry for bad english"

Well because in all of art forms you don't always do capital risk. It's about innovating or trying things. Also they had 3 albums before Electroma I believe Homework, the remix one of 1997 and Discovery.

My question is how did they see through the leds on the helmet?
@PurpleMako
2 жыл бұрын
From what I understand, the LEDs were individually punched through a see-through material (a plastic or a stiff mesh of sorts), and the guys looked through the gaps between the LEDs. It’s not the most efficient way to see, but after adjusting to the helmet, it would be manageable.
Long live Daft Punk!
Cool.
Didn't one of them (Daft Punk) say in an interview that the helmet have some other things in them like cooling or communication?
@edmenjoyer1039
3 жыл бұрын
I'm a tad late- but yes. During Discovery there was very poor ventilation in both of the helmets and it was extremely hot in the both of them, they even had to cut holes underneath the visor on Thomas' helmet to make sure that he didn't suffocate. Later on Guy's helmet had the "jaw" extended so he could actually breathe better. Also, fans were put in so they didn't literally die of a heat stroke. Plus on top of that it was incredibly difficult to see out of with the LED matrix (apparently it's like looking through a thick mesh door, not the hardest thing to do but certainly not pleasant in the slightest) and the fact that the screens were tinted and dark. IIRC there were issues with it and they could barely see through them, plus it was like a window on a limousine. You can't see inside as long as it's darker inside than it is outside. In the sketches it showed small pinholes that they could see through, but it was basically useless considering that there was a huge board of LEDs in front of their eyes, plus a tinted screen on top of that. And *also* they couldn't talk through them, as their voices would be so incredibly muffled and quiet due to how thick the helmets are. (And I believe that they had something on under it?) I assume that they were also miserable to constantly polish, clean, etc. because every time your fingers touched the surface, there would be a fingerprint. In short, props to Guy and Thomas for surviving through that. No wonder why the LEDs really only were seen in a few photoshoots and for less than 5 years.

Now I might be reading too deeply into this, but with the red live-wire they wanted, he said "They'd have to have an all black version of their robot selves." Now, personally, when watching the Alive 2007 set, during the last song/the encore, especially when the lights were strobing onto them, it seemed like (specifically Thomas') went from that Shiney Chrome silver, to a darkened, nearly matte black. So while it sadly does kinda suck the fun out of it, if what I think is right, I don't think they would've been able to change out of their outfits within' seconds to a few minutes between the Finalle, and the Encore. Which makes me come back to, while if correct, means either they never were on that Pyramid to begin with, or they switched out with two other people just at the end. But thats probably me just thinking too deeply and overthinking like I typically do.
whats the song in the beginning? Its really good

Is it me or the helmets have gotten smaller and the the top of Thomas' head is shorter and Guy's have become more simplified in shape. Idk. I just hope they make the perfect mix of the Discovery and R.A.M helmets for their next ablum. The proportions and shiny textures of R.A.M but the LED lights of Discovery and Thomas' little smile.
