"The Grid."
- “A digital frontier.”
  
  "I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer."
I actually had no idea the whole thing was done by them. This is a great video, love this movie
- I've literally never seen the movie and this is one of my favorite albums.
  
  worth a watch
- I mean, it is not a great Movie, but the score is so good that I feel it elevates it.
  
  Mediocre movie, best Daft Punk music video.
AKA: How Daft Punk worked with people who know how to make movie scores and made a soundtrack with them, the video shows that composers tie musical elements to on-screen dynamics and themes.

I'm not sure that the video sells the title. It's a really good soundtrack, I think they made a great choice with Daft Punk's style and input as a driving theme for the soundtrack. The video is more of "here's what they did to make the soundtrack" rather than explain why this soundtrack is the best Daft Punk when compared to the rest of their discography.
I was lucky enough to attend a live gig of Daft Punk in Paris. Key memory of my life.
- Sydney 2007. Best night ever.
- Would you say it was the prime time of your life?
  
  I see what you did there. ;)
  
  But to answer your question - I've been to Paris only twice so far. First for Daft Punk live, second time for Justice live. Both bands are from there and the gigs were truly outstanding. Maybe I am a bit biased in that regard since I used to play Electronica music myself until I wrecked my hearing at a live gig on stage.
