I’ve listened to Daft Punk hits for a while now on my XM Radio (Channel 81: Beats Per Minute). I’ve liked everything that I heard from them that I decided to go out and purchase an old album. I bought it used on Amazon for just under $10.

I received it in the mail yesterday and started listening. I instantly loved all the hits that I heard on the radio:

• One More Time
• Digital Love
• Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Now, I don’t know if it is that the CD has different versions, or maybe the quality of digital radio is better then CD’s. A lot of the other music just didn’t do anything for me at first. After listening to this album over and over again, some of the music has grown on me and is much more to my liking.

• Aerodynamic - Cool solo’s of what sounds to be an electric guitar. Just too weird to zone out with.
• Crescendolls - I don’t remember hearing this one on BPM, but I think it is good enough to be mainstream.
• Nightvision - wake me up when the next song comes on. It is nice, but I’m falling asleep.
• Superheroes - Don’t like it much. The beginning snare drum reminds me of an old song done by the Smashing Pumpkins. I just keep waiting for the guitar to kick in each time I hear it.
• High Life - almost good. Again, it might be my equalizers or something. I’m sure if this was remixed, it would make it to mainstream.
• Something About Us - The beginning of this song reminds me of Men in Black.
• Verdis Quo - Easy going and relaxing. I can coast into deep thought.
• Short Circuit - Can’t get into this one just yet. A portion sounds like special effects that Aphex Twin is pretty popular for doing. (It’s the melody at the end)
• Face to Face - Just don’t like it.
• Too Long - Horrible. So horrible.

If I had an iPod, then I would probably have been better off buying all the songs that I’m used to listening to for 99 cents each. Hopefully I can get one more person signed up for the free iPod offer so that I can get mine.
