Daft Punked

I used to worship them (Daft Punk) and their production on the "Homework" album. Stardust's "Music Is Better" is a classic. But when "Discovery" came out something changed. Take away the Peter Frampton talk box vocals and most of these tracks are straight up loop records with some new beats and edits. I'd equate it to the electronica version of Puff Daddy or Will Smith. Listen to the clip below. It contains three clips of tracks by Daft Punk and the original samples that precede it. It goes like this:

"I love You More" by George Duke then it's use in "Digital Love"
"Cola Bottle Baby" by Edwin Birdsong and it's use in "Harder Better Faster Stronger"
"Release the Beast" by Breakwater and it's use in "Robot Rock"


Not to take anything away from Daft Punk, but I didn't know the originals and for a long while thought they were the musicians. I know so much of electronic music is sample based and Daft Punk are not the first or last to do it. I'm sure the liner notes gave credit but I never read them, and I am not hating, they rock and I play the tracks all the time.
