Back To Index Daft Punk: D.A.F.T. - A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen, and Tomatoes
 Barnes & Noble House music is often accused of being cold and inhuman, a form so preoccupied with the pursuit of the perfect beat that it fails to connect with anything above the knees. The wriggling techno-funk concocted by the French duo Daft Punk defiantly shatters that stereotype, revealing a playful sense of humor and warmth beneath its dense grooves. Its no surprise then that the five Daft music videos collected on D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen, and Tomatoes would take a similarly irreverent -- and in some cases, convention-breaking -- approach. The DVDs pièce de resistance is surely Gallic director Michel Gondrys "Around the World," an ingeniously choreographed dance number whose hypnotic, alien pull perfectly syncs up with that of the accompanying sounds. The inspiration behind this and the DVDs four other clips (including Spike Jonzes bizarro mini-film about Charles The Dog Boy that doubles as the video for "Da Funk") are detailed through behind-the-scenes documentaries, directors commentaries -- Jonzes being especially goofy -- and storyboards. The discs flip side even includes a live performance video shot in Los Angeles that offers up nine different camera angles from which to choose, effectively allowing the viewer to create his or her own beguiling Daft video.
