Daft Punk – “The Brainwasher” (Audio)
‘Human After All’
Virgin – Mar. 14, 2005
*Daft Punk – “The Brainwasher” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdVEQbWjaTE // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_After_All // ‘Human After All’ is the third studio album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 14 March 2005 through Virgin Records. Whereas their previous studio album, ‘Discovery’ (2001), was inspired by disco and garage house and produced over two years, ‘Human After All’ was more minimalistic and improvisational with heavier guitars and electronics, and was produced in six weeks. ‘Human After All’ received mixed reviews from critics, who disliked its minimalistic, repetitive nature and considered the record inferior to Daft Punk’s previous works.*
