Daft Punk

Four years after the release of Discovery, Daft Punk realeased their follow up album, Human After All. Currently, Dissection has plans to release a new album. Bangalter also teamed up with DJ Falcon to create Together, who subsequently released the club smash So Much Love To Give. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo operates his own music label, Crydamoure. Since then, Nödtveidt has formed a new line-up for Dissection and recorded one 2-track EP entitled Mahi Kali. In 2002 he produced the motion picture soundtrack for Gaspar Noé's Irréversible. He was released in autumn of 2004. With Music Sounds Better With You, Thomas Bangalter had a major club hit in 1998, released under the name Stardust on his own Roulé-label. In 1997, Jon Nödtveidt was convicted for helping to murder a 38-year old man in Göteborg.

The album Discovery subsequentally became the soundtrack to the anime film Interstella 5555, which they co-produced with Leiji Matsumoto. It was compiled from previous rare and import releases, and contained only cover songs and demo tracks. The music videos for their singles from Homework featured memorable characters and were directed by cult video producers, including Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. The following year, Dissection also released a short EP entitled Where Dead Angels Lie. The duo "became" robots for all of their publicity shots and interviews. In 1995, the band's second full-length album, called Storm Of The Light's Bane, was released. Daft Punk are notable for their use of visuals in music. During November of 1994, Dissection signed a record deal with the well-known German label Nuclear Blast.

Much of Daft Punk's newer fan base knows them mainly from Discovery. It was formally dedicated to Euronymous, the then-guitarist of Mayhem, who had been murdered earlier that year. Some have interpreted the title "Discovery" as meaning "very Disco", as much of the album hearkens to the disco era; "Homework" can also be a reference to the respective album's focus, house music (Home ≈ House). The album was finished and released the following December. Nevertheless, it sold very well, and the single "One More Time" was a major club hit. In 1992, Dissection began work on their first full-length album, The Somberlain. Because of coordination problems between members, the entire band moved to Göteborg, Sweden (where they shared a rehearsal space with At The Gates) in the summer of 1993. 2001's Discovery, with its more commercial, synth-pop-oriented style, disappointed some fans of Homework. The band continued to tour.

In addition to "Da Funk", "Around the World" was the most successful single from Homework. Later that year, Dissection accepted the deal and recorded Into Infinite Obscurity. The album Homework (Virgin, 1996) was regarded as an innovative synthesis of techno, house, acid house and electro, and widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance music albums of the nineties. The Grief Prophecy was soon spread through the underground, and the French record label Corpsegrinder Records offered Dissection a deal to record an EP. Daft Punk's debut single The New Wave (Soma, 1993) was followed by their first commercially successful single "Da Funk" (1995). Dissection also played a live show in his honor, at which they performed the Mayhem song "Freezing Moon". Its name was inspired by a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker, which described their first collaboration, a Beach Boys inspired guitar group named Darling that recorded on Stereolab's Duophonic imprint in 1992, as "a bunch of daft punk". The special release featured album art drawn by Dead himself.

Daft Punk is the main project of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975), two dance music artists from Paris. A special edition of The Grief Prophecy was later released in memory of Dead, the former vocalist for the notorious Norwegian black metal group Mayhem, who committed suicide in 1991.

It contained three songs and featured illustrations by the artist known as Necrolord, who has since created nearly all of Dissection's album art.
