In all of my previous weeks of posting house goodness, you may have noticed a gaping hole in my artist anthologies: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, better known as Daft Punk. Sure, they popped up in one of the precursor posts to this column, but a group this big, this important, this… French deserves something special.

Before they went on their much-publicized Alive tour, the boys of DP released ‘Discovery’ and changed the world in 2001. To accompany this album, the group teamed up with Japanese anime maestro Leiji Matsumoto to create “Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem,” a space opera action cartoon. Makes total sense right?

In any case, ‘Discovery’ served as the soundtrack to the movie and the movie was the source of the music videos for each single. We can sort of follow along with the plot of the film, starting with the soundtrack of my life, ‘One More Time.’

Looks like the set-up to a great movie to me. Let’s see what happens next in ‘Aerodynamic.’

Ooh, the plot thickens. And synthesizes. To see how the story ends, follow the jump.

‘Digital Love’ introduces a potential savior into the mix, and immediately puts him in peril. It’s like watching a real movie!

‘Harder Better Faster Stronger’ shows us the protagonists getting made over into generic popsters. Allegory much?

And finally, ‘Something About Us’ takes a wild detour into the dream-space occupied by the hot chick from the band (yeah, I said it) and the ostensible savior from before. I guess you’ll just have to buy the actual movie to see what happens. What cruel teases Daft Punk are.

That’s all for this week. While the group’s official website doesn’t give you much information, it does provide a link to buy the action figures from “Interstella 5555.” So, you could do that.

Until next Tuesday, luxuriate in the above house classics. And keep dancing.
