The first single from the album is a live version of �Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger� from Daft Punk�s 2001 album Discovery, accompanied with a video directed by Olivier Gondry (older brother to acclaimed film director Michel) that features live footage shot by fans. The video will be included on the enhanced cd. The album version of �Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger� is currently enjoying a second life and a surge in digital sales thanks to being sampled by rapper Kanye West on his current Top 5 hit �Stronger.� The Daft Punk robots, in their signature retro-futuristic robot gear, also appear in West�s �Stronger� video.
Daft Punk first emerged on the dance music scene in 1993 with their debut album Homework, a provocative blend of progressive house, funk, electro, techno, and hip-hop styled breakbeats that is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance recordings of the �90s. Discovery followed in 2001, spawning the hit �One More Time,� which cracked the U.S. Top 40, followed by their first live album, Alive 1997, filmed at the Que Club in Birmingham, England. Daft Punk�s last studio album release was 2004�s Human After All, which featured the club hits �Robot Rock� and �Technologic.� A Daft Punk anthology CD/DVD, entitled Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005, was released in April 2006.
In June, Daft Punk hit the festival circuit in Europe, the duo�s first major tour in a decade, with shows in the UK, Italy, and the U.S., including a co-headlining performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago and a transcendent, sold-out show at Keyspan Park on New York�s Coney Island that the New York Times described as �a euphoric celebration of the Daft Punk legacy.� As one fan put it on brooklynvegan.com: �To call it a concert or show is an understatement. Daft Punk called down rain from the sky. Best show in a lifetime.� Daft Punk recently returned to the U.S. on October 27th for a performance at the Vegoose Festival in Las Vegas.
