“Infinity Repeating”, one of the nine unreleased reissues of their album “Random Access Memory”, is dressed in a video unveiled this Friday.
The Daft Punk archives still held secrets. This Friday, two years after the separation of the French electro duo, nostalgics can discover the clip of an unreleased track. A collaboration with Julian Casablancas and The Voidz titled Infinity Repeatingdeveloped more than ten years ago, which had never seen the light of day.
The animated clip, sober, retraces the theory of evolution in the form of a small character. First a cell, it changes into an aquatic animal then a terrestrial one before rising up to become a man.
Gradually, the animated character takes on more and more futuristic forms, until he wears the famous helmets under which Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, the two halves of Daft Punk, have hidden, all their career.
Back in the past
Infinity Repeating was unveiled Thursday at the end of the day at the Center Pompidou (Paris IV), in front of 300 spectators – and without Daft Punk. The place had not been chosen at random: as reported The Parisian, it was there that the two musicians tasted electro for the first time. It was in 1992, when they were teenagers and participated in their first rave on the roofs of Beaubourg. A year later, they formed the duo known today throughout the world.
Infinity Repeating is not an orphan title: it is one of the nine unreleased reissues of Random Access Memory, Daft Punk’s fourth and last album released in 2013, unveiled this Friday on the occasion of the record’s tenth anniversary. Successful and carried by the tubes Get Lucky with Pharrell Williams and Instant Crush with Julian Casablancas, this album won them the Grammy Award for album of the year in 2014.
