First they had to make the machines sing. Bend them around as much as possible. Not let a mechanical purr set in, but always, as if they opened up the hood to divert the connector industry, try to play with the unexpected improbabilities of an implacable mechanical creation. This way, by the time the Asimov robot theory gets under way, the robots will be very human-like. They had to forget about faces in order to create the artwork, erase the human on the plastic coated paper, the supposed star duet, refute the easiness of celebrity to make 1001 video clips each one more suggestive than the other. Going from a young, talented, brilliant inaugural young quartet (Michael Gondry, Spike Jonze, Seb Janiak, Roman Coppola) to a previously unreleased manga from 5555 Interstellar and on to the latest darker videos, a close up on the strobe light without the pop star below it. This way, on Asimov's day, we'll see the human underneath the robot without judging the hood. Getting to the essential, where life is, keep on moving and rocking to savour it all the more. Sounds + images — that's where Daft Punk is after 10 stellar years. All the singles, in no particular order, a trio of rare remixes, all the videos and always the same disconcerting energy, with its successes and experiences. Because perfection is not a word used by robots, but a human illusion. To relive these 10 years and calmly wait despite a not so funny world, the Dafts with human faces for the next 10 years to come. More concerts, from Europe to the United States passing through Asia, as a kick off to the summer 2006 and to make the machines sing. One More Time.
