Daft Punk posts video, "Epilogue" - (quit / split up)
- Thread starter Infinity Times Two
- Start date
There is no way for me to express how sad I am about this. I was hoping against hope they were working on that Tron movie that's in development hell. Without them...like, what's the point?
You're in luck since they did a track with them, and it is a PERFECT fusion of the two bands. It's so Parcels, but it's also so Daft Punk.

Fucking sucks, but it was a hell of a ride Daft Punk.
I will never forget the first time I heard 'Around the World' in my brothers' car. I can recall exactly where we were the moment the song started lol

Damn that fucking video...Touch was always my favorite song of theirs.... shit is hitting very different right now. I'm so fucking bummed. I would play RAM every night at 11pm when I was driving home from my closing shift. Watch I5555 every Saturday on a Toonami Aftermath stream 😭 shit this is such a bummer
I'm legitimately sad. I mean, if they feel they have nothing more to say as Daft Punk that's fair. But, I was hoping for one more Alive tour.
I don't watch the vid nor listen to the song often because every time I do I end up crying.
Interstella 5555 is a fucking masterpiece.
It goes without saying but 'One More Time' is a real nostalgic song for me and RAM is an album you can listen to front to back and not have a dud track.
Cover Story: Daft Punk
After 20 years, the world has finally caught up with Daft Punk, so the helmet-clad retro-futurists are embarking on a new mission: to make music breathe again

I see that this quote has also been mentioned today in different articles. They were basically saying that they had decided to make RAM in a way that kids with computers could not.
Would have given a lot to be able to see them live once.
This was the cherry on a day that sucked to begin with. Maybe there'll be a reunion at some point but it's not like they are getting any younger.
It's kind of weird to drop this after years of silence so a part of me still holds out for an album or track called epilogue. It's the same part that still waits for Winds of Winter.

Wow, I'm just finding out about this fact, then it's official, they have already passed down the torch onto the new generations.
1. Aerodynamic
2. Aerodynamic
3. Aerodynamic
4. Instant Crush
5. Discovery (as a whole) (or One More Time if you make me chose)
For fucks sake Disney. You had to fucking wait so long to make Tron 3. Might as well not bother anymore.
Sad day. I just hope they've split in good terms. Always sad to hear about a band or a duo get in a fight after decades of working together.

They chose their best song for this farewell video.
I've been listening to DP since my schooldays when Discovery got really big. Still, this news does not really shock me. Since Alive 2007 (fourteen years ago), they released a nice soundtrack and the lackluster RAM so I've already come to the conclusion that they might not produce another album that really hits my taste. But that's fine, with Homework, Discovery, Alive 2007 and - to a lesser extent - Human After All, they shaped my preference in music like barely any other artists. And for that I'm very thankful.

There's no way this is some sort of tease for a last album, is it? Anyone...? Please, don't let this be it... :(
I cried three times listening to Discovery on the way home from work today.
They're forever. And they defined a larger chunk of my life than I thought.
Almost hurts more that this is just a split up rather than a death.

What a shame they've split up.
They were one of the first groups I got into growing up.
Live Vol. 1 was my album of the year.

Parcels are fantastic.

Ummm what? Regardless of how insane that sounds you do realise they can still make music separately or even together it just won't be under the Daft Punk moniker.
The moniker, the ID, the persona is what's important.
You don't understand. Daft Punk isn't two musicians. It's two robots who strived to become human. It's about a fictional universe in which technology came to a point in which it began to admire and envy it's creators. We, humanity are ugly, we're flesh, we constantly strive to be something that we're not. Daft Punk is a pair of robots who saw something in us we couldn't and wished more than anything that they could be it. To be human, after all.
So no, it's not about the sound to me. It's about their lore and story. It's over. And more than that, the video they released told a story that hurt. Silver Robot wanted to stop. Gold let Silver go. And then, Gold carried on. That's not what happens in the movie that clip is from. In the movie... Well I won't spoil it. It's one of my favorite endings ever. Either way, yes. I'm sad about this.
