Robots Rock

Sometimes things don't go out of style. They may change a little to reflect the times, but they never lose their essential integrity. Sometimes they seem antiquated, but they still manage to keep up. For me, it's Daft Punk.

These guys never seem to age in a way that isn't graceful. They have their personalities (the creative disguises they use in public) and the instruments they use (drum machines and synths), and they know how to use both to delight their audience. At first listen their songs may sound repetitive, as does most electronic music outside the Top 40 pop genre, but the way they mix different melodies together really is inspired.

Personally, I can't stand still when I listen to this. It's like the banging synths and the pulsing beats are living inside my body, pounding my bones, dancing in my nerves. The music transcends its form and becomes a pure feeling, and evolves into an expression.
