Dutch Vinyl's Album of the Year

Daft Punk - Discovery

Discovery joined house music with disco, soft rock and childhood pop memory. One More Time, Digital Love and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger use samples and vocoders without making the record feel mechanical. Its bright surface and careful sequencing helped electronic dance music reach listeners who did not usually buy club records.

Why 2001 Matters

Daft Punk joined house music with pop memory, the Strokes made short guitar songs feel new again, System of a Down brought political intensity to metal and Gorillaz treated the virtual band as a full album project.
