in 1997, the debut album "Homework" was released. Daft Punk initially produced tracks with no plans to release an album. After working for five months on projects intended as separate singles, they deemed the material good enough for an album. In particular, the singles "Around the World," "Revolution 909" and "Da Funk" became international successes. The album charted in 14 countries, including #3 on the French album chart, #150 on the United States Billboard 200, #8 in the UK, and #44 in Germany, bringing French house music worldwide attention. It has sold more than 2.5 million copies in 35 countries to date.

Today, "Homework" is considered an influential classic of electronic dance music, not least because of its great experimentation with house, punk influences and distorted samples. It was even ranked number one on the "30 best EDM albums of all time." by the music magazine Rolling Stone." voted. Reason enough that it will be reissued again in 2021.
