I have been following Daft Punk since 2007 just after the Alive 2007 tour ended and always hoped that I would get another chance to see them, but apparently not.
I'm not angry at the duo for making this decision because I am extremely thankful and grateful for everything they have done for not just EDM, but the face of music as a whole. I would be lying though that I feel deflated thinking about how they could have done more or gave a couple of more albums or just one more tour. It did also feel a bit lazy that there was nothing new about this video, just a snippet from the finale of Electroma which is 15 years old now. Though I'm still thankful that Daft Punk were brave enough to make this desision and it's still heartfelt, even though this is not new materiel from them
I would have loved to see new stuff from them and hear more musical releases, but since Daft Punk have always been about quality over quantity, it's kind have made them like the Valve Software of the music industry, that they will only release music that matches their standard and that they know people will love instead of pumping out more often but have it being received as mediocre, though Deadmau5 is an example of putting out high quality music often, but I'm getting ahead of myself
I have always admired the French robots and their unique way of creating and producing electronic music with their evolving retro disco and techno style, but that time is over and the torch of inspiration has been passed onto current and future artists that have been influenced by their music.
Rest easy guys.
A Daft Punk fan <3.
