After a few moments, one of the members looks at the other, removes his jacket, and reveals an energy pack on the back. The other touches a button on the pack. The first member walks away quickly and then explodes. The scene cuts to a sunset, or possibly a sunrise, as a choral version of the group’s song “Touch” plays.
In 2001, They had dropped their second album, “Discovery”, led by the single “One More Time,” the “disco-very” implicit in the title was no accident, as the album was more pop in nature than the debut and set a trend for upending expectations.
In the meantime, they set the sonic tone for the new group with their first single, “The New Wave,” released in 1994. It was followed the next year by “Da Funk,” which became a European hit single and formed the template for their debut album, “Homework,” released late in 1996.
