Bene, rieccoci! Il secondo disco del duo dance più famoso in Francia. Ed è tutta un'altra musica! Sì, perché al contrario di "Homework", questo disco di 61 minuti risulta meno fisico e più sentimentale. Insomma, parliamoci chiaro, non c'entra proprio un cavolo con il primo lavoro! Dopo 4 anni i due robot hanno deciso di cambiare musica inventandosi una propria morte artistica: eh già! Proprio così, morti carbonizzati nel proprio studio di registrazione nel 09/09/1999. Resuscitando hanno cambiato stile creando un album pop-house, che risultando con il passare del tempo è diventato un altro capolavoro.
Ma ora analizziamo più da vicino le 14 tracce in questione. Prima di tutto è doveroso dire che tra le mani il disco risulta scarno come il precedente: nome del duo in copertina come il precedente e un libretto apribile con i testi (e che testi! Finalmente ben strutturati al contrario delle solite quattro parole).
Questo concept-album si apre subito con il loro primo singolo "One More Time", che a mio avviso sembra essere l'unica nota stonata perchè troppo casareccia e diretta (la solita bomba che apre le danze e alla fine stufa!). Il resto invece è fin troppo bello: la risposta migliore per descrivere i sentimenti che legano l'uomo alla macchina.
"Aerodynamic" è già memorabile sin dall'apertura con le famose campane alla "Back In Black". Uno scaravento all'orecchio di chitarra virtuosa con fase di stallo nel mezzo di tastiere futuristiche! Poi arrivano le due canzoni più significative dell'album: "Digital Love" e "Harder Better Faster Stronger". Queste due tracce simboleggiano nel miglior modo possibile l'amore uomo/macchina da me prima narrato. La prima è la ballad per eccellenza di tutta la loro carriera arricchita dalla famosa esplosione finale di energia dance/love e la seconda rappresenta la ribellione delle macchine. E proprio qui c'è il domandone: chitarra vera o falsa? Boh! Comunque sia sentitela e risentitela perchè è bestialmente disco!Arrivati fino a qui ci troviamo nella fase più dance dell'album, con "Crescendolls", "Nightvision" (stacchetto di pausa), "Superheroes" e "High Life". Il messaggio evocativo di queste 4 tracce è quasi nullo ma l'approccio con il mondo dell'house è pur sempre magistrale. E ora la seconda canzone d'amore dell'album: "Something About Us". Bella dal cuore tenero e dal facile ascolto! Dedicata ai più teneroni.
Chiusa questa parentesi pare che tutto si stia trasformando: sembra che la fase d'amore si stia chiudendo per dare spazio a qualcosa di molto sperimentale, forse la parte più interessante dell'intero album. Già, la fase spaziale! Con "Voyager" e "Veridis Quo" si apre una fase relax! Da gustare appieno! Si riaprono le danze con "Short Circuit" e "Face To Face": possiamo chiamarle bizzarre ma almeno con l'ultima rientra il cantato! Eh già, a proposito! Il cantato in questa ultima fase è a ritmo hip hop al contrario della prima dove tutto ha un'altra faccia più sentimentale. Quindi possiamo notare una doppia verità da parte degli artisti. "Too Long"? Troppo lunga! Ma centra alla grande la conclusione di questo straordinario disco.
Allora! Concludendo, i nostri eroi ce l'hanno fatta pur mostrando un'altra faccia della loro musica e qui i lampi di genio si sentono eccome. Più lavorato rispetto all'osannato "Homework", "Discovery" rappresenta un altro punto fondamentale della loro carriera. Interessante ma vivace allo stesso tempo per chi vuole avvicinarsi al mondo del French Touch, poi se vogliamo mettere altri 2 milioni e mezzo di copie vendute e un film tutto animato giapponese costato milioni di dollari tutto si fa sbalorditivo.
Ora anche i robot hanno un'anima! Viva i Daft Punk!

03 Digital Love (04:58)
Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long
Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long
The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true
Why don't you play the game?
Why don't you play the game?

09 Something About Us (03:51)
It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life
13 Face to Face (04:00)
You are
Face to f' now
Face to f'
You are
Face to f' now
Remember me
oh-ah, cheers
Whats going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be
someone different
There's not much I know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face
I turned away because I thought you were
the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I realized you weren't wrong, it was a mere illusion
It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face
14 Too Long (10:00)
Too long
Too long
Too long
Too long (repeats in the background)
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling's in my bones (x2)
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Mmh
Yeah (4x)
At last the long wait is over
The weight is off my shoulder
I'm taking all control, yeah
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
I see, you feel the way I do,
The feelings all so true
The good feelings coming thru
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long,
I feel it coming on
The feeling's in my bones (x2)
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
At last the long wait is over
The weight is off my shoulders
I'm taking all control, yeah
My, my mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it?
Too long, oh can you feel it...
(can you feel it...)
Do you need it?
Hey, I need it too
Well all right;
Do you need it?
It's good for you
We're gonna move

Le canzoni cantate irritano e gli strumentali non hanno le palle.
Abbiamo ascoltato più volte aspettando che ci prendesse, ma non ha il carattere.
Di donzaucher
Che cosa si chiede a un gruppo dance? Di far ballare la gente, di far oscillare teste a tempo di musica.
Il film è visto come un 'operazione infanzia', affinché ognuno si accetti per il bambino che è stato.
