We're happy for them. "[2]

Although Virgin held exclusive distribution rights over Daft Punk’s material, the duo remain the owners of their master recordings through the Daft Trax label. A master recording is an original Recording, from which copies may be made [1] Bangalter expressed that "To be free, we had to be in control. To be in control, we had to finance what we were doing ourselves. The main idea was to be free. "[7] Daft Punk discussed their method with Spike Jonze, director of the "Da Funk" music video. Spike Jonze (born Adam Spiegel October 22, 1969) is an American director of Music videos and commercials and an Academy He noted that "They were doing everything based on how they wanted to do it. As opposed to, 'oh we got signed to this record company, we gotta use their plan. ' They wanted to make sure they never had to do anything that would make them feel bummed on making music. "[8]

Virgin re-released "Da Funk" with the B-side "Musique" in 1996, before the debut of Homework. Bangalter later stated that the B-side "was never intended to be on the album, and in fact, 'Da Funk' as a single has sold more units than Homework, so more people own it anyways than they would if it had been on the album. It is basically used to make the single a double-feature. "[10]

Structure

Daft Punk deliberately ordered the album's tracks with a two-disc vinyl LP in mind. A gramophone As stated by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, "We had many tracks and we had to put them on four sides. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born Guillaume Emmanuel Paul de Homem-Christo on February 8 1974 is a founding member of the French house music . . there was no intended theme because all the tracks were recorded before we arranged the sequence of the album.
