lovely as the sample may be, the track that's fleshed out as a result of it is simply from outer space (seriously, check the video below.) While 'Digital Love' isn't necessarily a forgotten tune, there's no doubt that it was overshadowed by more prominent singles on Discovery like 'Aerodynamic', and 'One More Time'. Starting with a sample of George Duke's ' I Love You More', Daft Punk showcase their ability to breathe life into forgotten tunes in Digital Love. With a backdrop of string instruments that invoke elements of Hans Zimmer, it's clear that the group pushed themselves well beyond their comfort zone while staying true to their roots. Signature to Daft Punk's sound, the cinematic composition manages to be both complex and refined, with layers of synthetic arpeggios dancing in and out of one another, capturing the feel of Tron to a T.
Sea of Simulation, Tron: Legacy OST (Amazon Release) (2010)įound only as a bonus track on the Amazon exclusive release of the official Tron: Legacy soundtrack, 'Sea of Simulation' doesn't define a narrative as much as it presents an atmosphere for one.

Found on their 2005 LP Human After All, which was defined by club hits, 'Make Love' steps away from the heavy kick drums and electro-infused beats to showcase the French duo's ability to compose a perfectly catchy tune. Sometimes simple is best, and this track shows exactly why. Arguably a follow up to 'Something About Us', one of the top singles from their 2001 masterpiece Discovery, this track shines as a downtempo love ballad told from the perspective of the robots. Game of Love, Random Access Memories (2013)Īn under the radar gem from their most recent LP, 'Game of Love' is the perfect intersection between the robo-emotive sounds that gave the group mythical status in the decade prior and their departure to a more musically evolved sound. Most can identify a handful of their top tunes like 'One More Time', 'Get Lucky' and 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger', but it’s the depth and diversity of their catalogue that really makes them icons after all.ġ.
