Daft Punk: Homework (Virgin CDV2821)
Andy Gill, The Independent, 31 January 1997
FRENCH DUO Daft Punk's take on techno strips away any artistic pretensions to leave just a jackhammer beat and a few squelchy noises looping over and over. They've been compared with The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, but there's a gulf separating the British crews' compositions from these thumpingly single-minded tunes.
