Not a bad book, but not what I expected Book is more about the history of what influenced Daft Punk and how they compare to other similar artists. Also has random stats and other things I didn't find appealing. Was expecting pics from music festivals and documents on their songs, and other stuff that focused more on them performing rather than on what inspired their ideas behin. Kevin Skiera said A reference book.. I'm a huge fan of the band, and while I was disappointed to see so many Wikipedia references it was cool to get a linear view of the band and their music influences. This is a good primer for someone new to the band and a refresher to the average fan. For the dedicated it's a regurgitation of most you already know but presented in a clean. Great Book! Altaf This is definitely an interesting book, which not only describes info and background of this legendary French duo, but is also a good source about origins and different styles of Electronic Dance Music and famous composers like Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder. It's not very long, has a nice cover and high-quality pictures and photos. Als
