DAFT PUNK - HOMEWORK (VIRGIN)
Release Date: 3/25/97
Review: Angel Bennett
France is often accepted as the romance capitol of the world, but with the release of Daft Punk's exhilarative debut, France may become the capitol of new wave dance music as well. The youthful Daft Punk duo: Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter wash you in sound so invigoratingly unpretentious that dancing is not an option, it's an imperative! The Debut is teeming with delirious grooves like "Around The World" and the Uber-vivid "Da Funk" (which has already topped several European pop charts). From thunder-thick beats to simple handclaps, and soothing drones to piercing flashes of glam-disco, Daft Punk embody the jollity that house music is all about. Homework is the best thing outta France since the French kiss!
