Who Is To Say What The World Would Like Like Artistically Without The Vast Contributions Of These 2 Superhumans But We're So Grateful For The Lasting Impact That Daft Punk Has Made, And Left Behind For Us To Enjoy Forever. To Us Specifically, This Was A Group That Inspired Us To Chase Our Dreams Of Creating Compelling Electronic Music.
Of course, we also can't forget the very, very tomato-oriented music video.Support: Legacy Of Daft Punk Is Something That Has Served As Main Source Of Inspiration, Enthusiasm, Creativity, And Excitement For Millions Of People Across The Globe. It's still worth a listen for house fans and deserves a spot in the Daft Punk Hall of Fame. Roger Sanchez's remix didn't really do much, aside from adding those crystal-clear vocal samples and make the original feel like someone slipped a tab into your water cup.and then you find out it was an Alka-Seltzer. It's smooth as silk and doesn't try to push itself too hard into your face. As wacky as this remix gets, I'm still going to give the nod to the original, as it manages to keep a stronger focus.Īlso in this package is the Revolution Acapella featuring JUST the bonus Sanchez vocals, as well as the full mix of Revolution 909 as featured on the Homework album.Īlthough Revolution 909 lacks a determinable hook or feature that makes it stand out, there's something about the track that just feels right. How.revolutionary? (Yes, the "909" is added later.) Sanchez's take on the track becomes a bit more chaotic with additional elements lain over the original, giving the song a wilder, more carefree flavour. House legend Roger Sanchez also takes a stab at this tune, rolling in with rough faded beats reminiscent of the original while adding his own special vocals: a deep-voiced man saying "Revolution". Revolution 909 is an interesting choice for a single, though, as it doesn't contain any major hook, relying on smooth flow to guide it along. There are constant light hums of soft synths in the background that add to the atmosphere, but that inimitable house rhythm drives the song in the end. Looking at the Radio Edit after the police tell a raving crowd to "stop the music and go home", a take on the French government's position regarding raves in general, the focus lies more on the hard-hitting house beats and scritchy hi-hats than anything else. Perhaps one reason why casual listeners Revolution 909 doesn't have the same pull factor as the more popular Daft Punk singles of the time.
But sometimes we forget that there were two other official singles from that album, remembered mostly by Daft Punk's hardcore fanbase, though not by the masses, one of which was "Revolution 909", released over a year after Homework in February 1998. The album is mostly known for its two popular singles: "Around the World", with its unmistakable vocal hook and simple but highly effective bassline and "Da Funk", with its absolutely growlingly-good bass hooks. Their debut album, Homework, was a breath of fresh air to the electronic music community, even if I didn't think it was a solid 10/10 album in my own review. Their influence on house music, particularly that of the French house movement, is practically indisputable at this point.
