The two formed Daft Punk in Paris in 1993 , but really broke into worldwide dweeb fandom with 2001 ’s Discovery , which is absolutely one of the capital sci - fi epical music albums of all time .
It served as the full - duration soundtrack to the absolutely rad gum anime movieInterstella 5555 : 5ecret of the 5olar 5tar 5ystem , which they made with Japan ’s fabled Leiji Mastumoto , God Almighty of anime classics like Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock . Evoking classic anime aesthetics of the ‘ 70s and ‘ 80s , the tacit pic tracked the fictional interstellar euphony chemical group the Crescendolls , as they ’re kidnapped by a mysterious alien force out — as their leader Stella psychically reaches out to a vernal space pilot to rescue them .
It was n’t the first fourth dimension Daft Punk would cross over with the sci - fi genre . Although not soundtracked by them , the duo made the haunting , melancholic Electroma in 2007 — a movie about a duo of masked golem seek to come to full term with their identity operator and nature — section of which were repurposed for the “ Epilogue ” video announcing their split . And of course , in 2010 Disney perfectly selected the duo to scoreTron : Legacy , creatingan intense electronica scorethat was easy the best thing about the movie ( tie with Michael Sheen ’s performance as Computer Ziggy Stardust ) .
The break of serve - up is a bummer , but the pair gave us 28 years of unbelievable dance bangers , which is a Inferno of a ( Tron ) bequest . I ’m going to mind to Discovery for the eternal rest of the day in their robotlike honor .
