This album has aged like fine wine even after almost 20 years.
Tipicaly French ^^
Makes me want to listen to Daft punk "ONE MORE TIME".
Good music never age
“Our work is never over” hit different
Fun fact: "Veridis Quo" is a wordplay on "Very Disco". If you move those words around, you also get "disQuoVeri", which is a wordplay on the title of the album.
I must be blind cause this whole time I thought it was Verdis Quo
Discovery is also a wordplay of very Disco
I thought Veridis Quo means "What Are You Doing Here?"
@@basticrafter it’s a wordplay on quo vadis which means « where are you going? »
and it hits every time.
is it a guitar? is it a synth? that's part of the beauty of Daft Punk, there's so much mystery to their production process and people are still trying to figure out how they do what they do
RinkyDink Production this real guitar The Daft Punk play all instruments they mixed them whith the Robot sound but for answer your question Yes is a Real guitar, real bass, real drum and vocorder and tool box. Bonjour de France.
fun fact: they sampled disco songs why the title is “disco-very” 🤯🤯
Interesting. I knew a lot of disco was sampled but it didn't occur to me that it was related to the name.
Also the song name Veridis Quo --> Veri Disquo --> Very Disco --> Discovery
@@spod823 veridis quo means where are you going in French which is interesting.
@@onlyonpaper it's in latin not in french
No, they called it Discovery because it is associated with the discovery phase of childhood, they were fans of anime at that point so that's why Interstella 5555 even exists.
One More Time samples Eddie John's More Spell on You, the producer of that song is Thomas Bangalter's (silver helmet) father. - instrumental
Aerodynamic - Sister Sledge's Il Macquillage Lady - instrumental
Digital Love - George Duke's I Love You More - instrumental
Harder Better Faster Stronger - Edwin Birdsong's Cola Bottle Baby - instrumental
Crescendolls - The Imperials' Can You Imagine - HA! UE HA!
Nightvision is sample-free
Superheroes - Barry Manilow's Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed - SUPERHEROES SUPERHEROES
High Life - Tavares' Break Down For Love - that BONG-HA noise
I'm pretty sure the next few songs are sample-free, a fact I could say is that Short Circuit was worked on by Daft Punk for a long time, they even played an early version of it on live sets and Daftendirekttour, albeit only a small bit at the beginning exists on the official Alive 1997 recording due to sample licensing limitations, sadly.
Face To Face - Guitar from Electric Light Orchestra's Evil Woman, along with a lot of samples that only have been recently discovered due to being uncredited and just general Daft Punk's mysterious production, those include the chopped up vocals and the flute
Too Long I'm pretty sure is sample free.
seeing someone react to aerodynamic guitar for the first time is a really pure experience :)
Im glad you enjoyed it! :D
And a little fact about this album is that it’s actually A soundtrack to a movie they made called interstella 5555 and there no words just the music over the whole thing.
Expect the words in the samples.
@@joshshrum2764 well yeah but I meant like no movie dialogue
@@nolanortiz7430 Well technically the evil producer was speaking we just didn’t hear him chanting.
Umm interstellar came out after discovery.
@@Oyabungaijin yeah I know but it’s still was meant to be paired with it
seeing someone just geek ab music makes me happy inside.
The solo in Digital Love made me pick up guitar at age 10, 18 years ago. it’s not even a guitar 😂. Still my favorite solo of all time. Also the vibe in voyager is so timeless
For the vocals on something about us, it is one of daft punk, Thomas bangalter doing the vocals.
I seem to be getting the feeling that I should react to Interstella 5555. 🤔
yes
You should have done that to begin with bud! ABSOLUTELY it's a MUST. Btw disco-very ;)
I watched Interstella 5555 for the first time a few days ago and it’s probably one of the best movies I’ve seen. Not just because of the songs but the story is beautiful.
I love bouncing around seeing these youtube videos where new music and genres are introduced. This particular album is a bit more fun, because like all of us that got it brand new in '01, had no clue it's set up for the movie (that hadn't actually been created yet). It is an amazing masterpiece!
that movie is one of my favorite musical movies
Alive 2007 is their best in my opinion, they really were one of the best live bands. They meld their songs together so seamlessly and with such perfection it’s truly remarkable.
This. And it was visually groundbreaking.
i prefer 1997. raw chicago and french house
Alive 1997 is leagues better if we're talking the music itself
@@juliansmith4153 debatable
Lessons Daft Punk has taught the music world
Quality beats quantity.
The artist themselves don't matter, it's the music that counts
You don't need millions to make good music. That's what I love about them, they don't care about the publicity, money, or fame. They just care about making music. They changed more then just electric music, they set a standard that in my opinion no one will come close to crossing in a long time
Trueeeeee words.
They do care about marketing, just look at all the promos for RAM, they have a great eye for detail
The Crescendolls are the fictional band in the anime this album is the soundtrack to. The song Crescendolls is kinda manic sounding, and like a parody of pop, which fits perfectly with the part of the anime where the band has been literally brainwashed and don't remember who they are and just mechanically play music to a massive crowd. It's one of my favourites.
That's really interesting! I've since learned, but when I did this reaction I didn't know Discovery was recorded as a soundtrack to their anime film. I didn't even know they had an anime film lol
Also what i find funny is Hero 1, and 2 make a cameo in that movie when their music is playing in the movie, so it’s pretty meta since they are referencing themselves while their music is being played in the movie they made.
I love crescendolls for work. It helps me accept that I've sold this time and should give it my best.
@@DreginyReacts React to Homework album
@@joshshrum2764Inn I'll
During a dj set one time, I used a guitar hero controller with a usb converter and mapped the guitar keys to cue points in Aerodynamic where the guitar solo plays and i "played" that solo "live". The lag was pretty brutal, but I got a good reaction. By that I mean most people just laughed and called me a nerd.
But they still remember it so mission accomplished
i would love a video of this oh my god
Thank you for reacting to this. There are not enough Daft Punk reactions on RUclips
'Something about us' If you've watched Interstalla 5555 (the whole anime is contructed around the album) you'll end up in tears...
This album is a true masterpiece of sample works and intricate disco loops, you have to get passed the repetition aspect and let yourself be mesmerized.
Fun fact: to this day, people are still trying to unpack all the samples in Face to Face.
Edit: someone else beat me to it lol!
Aww better luck next time! Lol :P
@@DreginyReacts )@)#;'dndkeiN Ozn i;%9)smoeje
This album is the one that I go to when I need to remind myself that I can just choose to be positive instead of brooding over bullshit. This album just brings levity to me.
If you're wondering how that guitar sound is made, I believe its a guitar whose sound is processed through a synth, creating that fuzzy tone for aerodynamic/digital love. Loved the video!
Oh wow that's really cool! Thanks for the info. And Im glad you enjoyed my reaction :)
I don’t think so, I believe it’s actually a synth made on an analog synthesiser. Digital love is actually a samples from an old disco/funk/soul track. Digital love is basically one whole loop.
@@lukemccann2024 its a guitar, you can hear when he slides through the frets.
@@Aeolous1 We have technology that can make it sound real but it isn’t.
@@lukemccann2024 nah never heard of a plugin or synth that replicates that aspect of guitar tho
loved multiple things about this video so heres a list:
1. really well articulated opinions
2. stayed honest about each track and what you liked/disliked and your opinions also made a lot of sense considering you consider yourself a metalhead, and they were all very fair criticisms!
3. How much fun you had listening to album, i was literally dancing with you
Thank you so much for your feedback. This means a lot to me! Especially since I don't consider myself very good at articulating my thoughts (This is one of the reasons I do reactions, to force myself to analyze what I listen to more deeply & express myself). Im glad you enjoyed my reactions & dancing along with me :)
Yooooo! Thank you so much for sharing your first experience with this album! This is one of my all time favorite albums, so it’s super cathartic to witness someone’s first listen of it. Fun fact about Face To Face, what makes it feel so fresh throughout has to do with how the song itself is constructed of about 10 different samples, and there are still other samples in it that are still being figured out!
Im glad you enjoyed my reaction! :)
I definitely did not realize how many sounds throughout this album were actually samples haha. The fact that people are still analyzing & finding new things about these songs is wild!
I basicaly listen to this album almost every week since more than 10 years. At this point it feels like it's a part of me. Considering this fact, it's quite fun for me to look at someone listening to this for the first time ! Thank you for this video !
Glad you enjoy it! :)
"Oh! That Funk!"
more like Da Funk lol
no seriously you should listen to that too
I’m a Metalhead, myself but i honestly love a lot of different genres, and Daft Punk, is one of my favorite electronic bands out their because they are the kings of it, or were, but my favorite albums by them is probably Discovery, or Random Access Memories, though Homework, and Human After All, are great to mainly because of Daftendirekt, Da Funk, Around The World, and Robot Rock. Also a little fun fact about the band is that they only create the instrumentals, and don’t sing at all they used vocal samples, and edited them to use as lyrics.
(Except:
They sing on Harder Better Faster Stronger, most of the Human After All and RAM albums, Starboy and I Feel it coming by Weekend and Computerized
Romanthony sings in on some songs from Discovery
Williams sings on two songs from RAM)
France is really proud of this two robot !
Oh boy, you gonna love Human After All (album) and if you want it more "acid" or "industrial" then Homework will be a banger
This is hands down my favorite album of all time once I start playing one more time I have to listen to the whole album. It’s just one of those records that takes you on this journey through time and space. Daft punk really excelled at creating albums and not just singles like most electronic musicians do. Great video!
You should react to Alive 2007, their live album, see how they remixed and blended all these songs so beautifully
Interesting points! Re: Homework -- It's my favorite album of theirs but it is A LOT less pop than this. More groove-driven (some would say "repetitive" but sample looping is the foundation of the house subgenre ; you're supposed to vibe out and dance to it -- preferably in a club -- not fuss over every little detail). Plus many more abrasive moments. I'd describe "Discovery" as playful and nostalgic whereas I'd describe "Homework" as intense but dance-y.
Great video and some great reactions! I can't even count the amount of long drives/road trips I've taken while listening to daft punk. Such a great band.
Nightvision makes sense in context of Interstella 5555 as that's when Shep's ship is crashed down on earth and Shep is in the rain over the crashed ship, planning the liberation of the Crescendolls
fun fact about Face To Face: it uses so many samples that still to this day in 2023, we are still discovering (pun not intended) new samples they used...
Veridis Quo and Too Long is the underrated good shits
Imo Veridis quo is the best song and too long is the weakest one
@@FHD80057 fuck you
@@FHD80057 too long better
Sorry I commented this super early lol, obviously we all have opinions =) We can all agree that Discovery is an amazing album!
@@imacg3859 chill lol
What a great way to enjoy the album! I love to see someone just vibing and getting so psyched about music! Love the video and of course it's a legendary album from the iconic duo
high life actually doesn't have a female voice, the song samples break down for love by tavares, it sounds female because they went and pitched the samples up
I’m watching every reaction I can on daft punk and I know looking at the title I’m gonna enjoy this I cried when the news was announced but this Is gonna make me smile ❤️
dude your reactions are so entertaining, i've probably watched this video like five times by now lol love it
Wow, I really appreciate that!! Thank you 😭😭
Thanks for the reaction also at 6:04 made my day lmao, I also like to say Discovery is my favorite album of all time, in my humble opinion there's not a single bad song and I cannot pick a favorite out of this album it's just that great!
Thank you for watching! & I'm glad you appreciated my silly humor there lol
Metallica just swoops in- YO???
@@carlsagan1377 😂
I know this is a 2 years old video, but I think you'd like "Human After All" which is the album that came right after this one.
It's definately their most "raw" album as it's heavily influenced by rock and still got this electronic feel.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who defaults to For Whom the Bell Tolls when the Aerodynamic bells come in lol
Loved your takes on this album, to me it was my gateway into dance/EDM music and I still love all the songs almost ten years after I first listened to it.
Now I'm glad I'm not the only one either! Glad you enjoyed my reaction :)
really love the way you look into the music, it will make so much sense if you watch the film. enjoy my friend!
So nice to see you appreciating Short Circuit!
Only just found this video and there's nothing I love more than watching people react to this album for the first time, and its quite rare for someone to like these songs listening to them for the first time (especially the more repetitive ones like Voyager and Veridis Quo or even the weirdness that is Short Circuit). Not only is this my no.1 album of all time but its one of the few albums where I love every single song. In my opinion its their best album with Random Access Memories (RAM) in close second
I was looking for this type of video
Thanks
And the sampling they did for the songs that didn't have Romanthony singing in were done nicely
Your reaction to Aerodynamic was everything!! My favorite
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you liked it 😊
Literally just took some 🍄 and listened to Alive 2007 and Discovery for the first time and was the most amazing trip I had.
I think most people who are just familiar with Random Access Memories are initially going to think that Discovery and Homework are pretty repetitive. But if you approach them less as songs and more as tracks that are meant to be mixed into DJ sets. The repetitiveness gives the DJ a chance to play with the music a bit and do things like bounce two vocals off each other.
Plus since I primarily listen to house music, I'm probably less aggravated by it :)
Keep up the good work.
And to elaborate on the music. A *lot* of the music was samples. Check out a video where they compare songs from Discovery to the songs the samples.
And to elaborate on that funky bassline you dug in Voyager, that's a staple of French House music. My favorite subgenre by far.
Fascinating how well you took to Crescendolls and Too Long - there are plenty of long-time Daft Punk fans who don't care for those two
Loved the reactions. It's wonderful to see fans of other genres listening to GREAT dance music, very interesting. If you are looking for another interesting, cool, classic dance album you could try Goldie -- Timeless, it's amazing. Oh, and "dance like nobody's watching" is always a good rule!
I've been a metalhead for 12 years, but before I got into metal I listened to a lot of Daft Punk, and J-pop... now since like forever I am actually removing the dirt on these old memories and bringing them up back to surface.. Metal is my number one genre, Technical death metal, extreme metal, dsbm, Progressive metal, goth metal etc.. but I like some J-pop, Daft punk, goth rock, and video game music as well...🙂
Part metal head hear too! Nice to hear you enjoying this masterpiece!
man I appreciate u and this vid
Awh thank you! That means a lot to me 😊
the thing that i really like about daft punk is u never no what to expect
Please listen to their last album random access memories or at least a couple of the songs off it like touch, lose yourself to dance or instant crush you won’t be dissapointed
I actually mentioned in the video that I've listened to Random Access Memories before. It's the only Daft Punk I knew before listening to Discovery! And Touch is one of my favourite songs, possibly ever written.
I am a metalhead too. A French one (like daft punk...) and i put Daft Punk In the same level as Slayer or Maiden. One of thé best band on earth !
You look like a really cool dude to be a friend with. I really enjoyed your video a lot of positive energy. Keep up man definitely a new sub! :)
Thank you!! I really appreciate that :)
Fun fact that vocoder voice in harder better faster stronger took them 4 years to perfect those chorus which chopped up into a few seconds is probably a thousand takes over those years...
bit of a fun fact on face to faces creation. Go check out some of the amazing sample recreation vids where they go into detail about how they created the songs. In face to face in the beginning they dont have the twin theme that is on in the later parts of the song which is exactly what you said. Good ears mate!
AA this is one of my favorites albums ever dude oh my god, RAM was also a masterpiece. Also, I get that it’s repetitive, but ALL house music is repetitive so it’s not really a minus or a criticism to me. House music is pretty niche though, so I get why you wouldn’t like it. Great vid!!
But I did like it! There were 2 songs i thought were a little TOO repetitive but even then I stressed that I still enjoyed them. Keep in mind that this was my first experience with House music and didn't really know what to expect going into it.
It hits different listening to them now 💔
The vocalist on face to face to face is Todd Edwards he also sings fragments of time on RAM
DJ Romanthony sings one more time and Too Long
And the Daft punk sing digital love, Harder better faster and something about us
Voyager is amazing on the right sound systems.
Ayy dreginy super cool to see you back at reacting to music, but also celebrating this great group and album, and for the vid to have got so much attention that's awesome. Old fan of the channel btw, i sometimes showed up here as "FruckFilms" if you remember
I do remember! Thanks for being around for so long :) hope you're having a great day 👍
@@DreginyReacts well I haven't really been keeping up with you unfortunately, busy life stuff I know you understand given the update vlogs you've done n breaks you've taken, but I randomly remembered you while watching Little Witch Academia (actually a great show so far, just finished season 1 n would recommend) and wanted to see what you've been up to on here, was hoping that you'd still be active and it's great to see you are and continue to improve the setup of your videos, still a real cool n chill experience to watch one of your videos. I've been really sick lately with stomach flu but I'm almost out of it, otherwise I'm doing well, I hope that you are having a great day too!
We would love to see your Reaction video on how all songs of discovery was made. This will blow yr f****** mind.
The bells are meant for the whole album to be played song after song not stopped so the bells do repeat throughout the album normally the beginning of every song
that's what i was looking for
Great reaction listening to this amazing album be came a fan when this album came out in the summer 2001 my number one song is digital love
Discovery my fav LP from my fav band. I feel like to get the best experience is to find sometime and listen to the entire album from beginning to end with headphones its an experience to be had they first time I listened to the whole album was awesome
Fun was what we also thought in '01, Aerodynamic is my favorite track. And the Cresendolls won the golden record award!
when watching the discovery anime (interstella 5555), all the different motifs and moods make sense. can't recommend it enough!!!
Fun fact: one more time, aerodynamic and digital love have transitions between them. But this is a daft punk studio album so the transitions are just gone on streaming services. Id reccomend listening to the album or cd or vinyl to hear the original intended version
The interesting thing is that this album only has two actual features
One More Time and Too Long feature the vocals of the late Romanthony, and Face to Face featured long-time collaborator Todd Edwards
Bright side is that there might actually be a very good chance now that they have been asked and have really signed on to do the soundtrack for Tron 3.
Not reforming, just doing the album and thats it. But if its true I suppose me might once more get to see the two robots in the background during the movie.
3 of the tracks on this album were collabs
One more time and too long had vocals by romanthony
Face to face had vocals and co-production by todd edwards
I discovered this video and your channel a little late, very interesting to see you discovering Discovery by Daft Punk. but if I can advise you one thing (as a simple French fan of Daft Punk and metal music) it is to listen to the two other albums Homework and Human After All, and to end with the album Alive 2007. That the experience I had, and it was amazing... in short I subscribe ! btw sorry for my english, i don't even know if i made mistakes ^^'
I'll definitely get around to checking out Daft Punk's other albums soon! And don't worry about your English, it's fine! I didn't even know it wasn't your first language until you mentioned it :)
I love this album and have the whole movie video.
great video. you should definitely listen to their first album "homework" or their third album "human after all" they are completely different from "discovery" and I think you will like it
Loved the reaction my friend!
Glad you enjoyed!
This album gets way better once you appreciate all the samples in the album
Good reaction, just one thing, you have to remember that this is Pure Dance music, is repetitive for a chillin good time dancing for hours straight, don't analyse that like a rock band or metal perspective, is made for another thing.
Im glad you enjoyed the reaction. And I get what you're saying about just feeling the music and not analyzing it but I feel any type of music should be able to hold up from an analytical standpoint. And Discovery absolutely did! The beats were repetitive but rarely stale or monotonous.

Discovery is pure fucking gold
23:55 you should watch the film, Interstella 5555, that they made to go along with the album to understand why this happens.
I was born in 78. I will miss the Punk but I also appreciate when something ends when it ends.
I know others have asked you by now. Check out Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 anime / Discovery album movie. Some of your problems with the album may change.
You gotta watch interstella 5555 discovery is the soundtrack for that. I don’t really know the whole story behind it but I think they finished the movie and realized the soundtrack was album quality fire and just released it.
Your little dance is so wholesome i can't💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
Im glad you enjoyed! 😁
If you want ENERGY you HAVE TO do Daft Punk's Alive 2007 - its a live show that remixes all of their songs together and its their absolute peak
I'm so old I've been fan since my early 20'S and I just turned 47! So sad they said good bye
Also nightvision plays at the saddest part of interstella 5555. And i think it was really made just to fit there. One of the characters dies in that scene. And when I heared it slowly playing in the background I just began crying like baby...😧
I’m pretty sure you mean Something About Us, since nobody died in the Nightvision, part.
@@joshshrum2764 not died but it was Shep's funeral, sorry
Maaaan, I have really enjoyed watching your reaction. The album is masterpiece and your reactions are fun. Hope you will gain bigger audience and I am excited for another reactions from you.
The movie Tron Legacy has all soundtracks produced by Daft Punk, in case you havent seen that movie, I really do recommend to watch it :) Have a good day :)
Television is a very underrated song off theirs
you should watch the movie, its a great animation! and seeing your collection in the background, i imagine you would appreciate it a lot!! Especially as a twin composition with music!
I think the things you enjoyed about this album indicate you should check out more French House. It's a very specific flavor of the genre! Cassius is one of my favorite acts Cassius 1999 the album is choice.
Cheers! Enjoyed the reaction to an old favorite of mine
Im always trying to broaden my musical horizons so I might just do that! Thank you for the recommendation, and im glad you enjoyed my reaction :)
