Alm 2010

Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. The duo is considered one of the most successful electronic music collaborations of all time, both in album sales and in critical acclaim. The duo signed with Virgin Records in 1996 and continued to work on tracks for their debut album Homework, released in 1997. Their second album, Discovery, was released in 2001. Production was simultaneously underway for Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, an animated film featuring the album as its soundtrack. Daft Punk collaborated with Leiji Matsumoto, who served as visual supervisor. The duo's third studio album, Human After All, was released in 2005.

The liner notes of Homework pay tribute to a large number of musical artists and contains a quote from Brian Wilson. Bangalter expressed that "In Brian Wilson's music you could really feel the beauty - it was very spiritual. Like Bob Marley, too." When questioned on the success of Daft Punk's debut album and rising popularity of their associated musical genre, Bangalter responded, "before us you had Frankie Knuckles or Juan Atkins and so on. The least you can do is pay respect to those who are not known and who have influenced people."

They are still around and have lately released (2007) a live album titled Alive 2007. Listen and look at Around the World by Daft Punk and other relevant Daft Punk videos from YouTube and DailyMotion.

One of the ideas with Alm 2010 is to present enough subjective news to make Alm 2010 objective. A Multi-Subjective news site!? Alm 2010 is a non-commercial site and if you do not want me to publish something specific just tell me. I hope 2009 has started good for you.
