Daft Punk Release ‘Interstella 5555′ On Blu-Ray

Before there was the pyramid, the art films and TRON:Legacy, Daft Punk broke the electronic music mold with Interstella 5555, and anime film created in conjunction with the duo’s smash second album, Discovery. The film animates the whole of the album, which included Daft Punk classics “One More Time,” “Face To Face” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” while telling the story of an alien band who are kidnapped by an evil music industry executive and forced to perform as human likenesses.
