discovery

This French duo sampled, autotuned, and compressed the music of their childhood to make a dramatic leap in their development. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter named the project 'Discovery' after the phase of childhood:

"This album has a lot to do with our childhood and the memories of the state we were in at that stage of our lives. It's about our personal relationship to that time. It's less of a tribute to the music from 1975 to 1985 as an era, and more about focusing on the time when we were zero to ten years old. When you're a child you don't judge or analyze music. You just like it because you like it. You're not concerned with whether it's cool or not. Sometimes you might relate to just one thing in a song, such as the guitar sound. This album takes a playful, fun, and colorful look at music. It's about the idea of looking at something with an open mind and not asking too many questions. It's about the true, simple, and honest relationship you have with music when you're open to your own feelings."

The album was a worldwide success with singles 'One More Time' and 'Face to Face' topping dance charts. International club producers Romanthony, Todd Edwards and DJ Sneak made guest appearances and their childhood idol Leiji Matsumoto incorporated the entire album into a feature length animated film called 'Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem'.

"We think the music we made on Discovery has been done in a cinematic way in our minds. We were visually seeing the music and trying to find ideas that were appealing to people's imagination. An animation fan would find this mixture of elements and story in our music."
