Discovery (Daft Punk album)
Discovery is the second studio album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 12 March 2001 by Virgin Records. It marked a shift from the Chicago house of their first album, Homework (1997), to a house style more heavily inspired by disco, post-disco, garage house, and R&B. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk described Discovery as an exploration of song structures, musical forms and childhood nostalgia, compared to the "raw" electronic music of Homework.
Leiji Matsumoto supervised production of Interstella 5555.

The duo garnered further acclaim and commercial success and are now regarded as one of the most influential acts in dance music history.
