Heh, I'm not into Daft Punk really, Mitkat. I thought it was going to be a video of a new band who's Music is focused around Transhumanism. You had me all excited there [tung]
Do you not think they are transhumanist musicians? You should get to know them a little better, I see them as totally transhumanist, although I could be biased because I love funky robots and french house music. When they were fixing a sampler late one parisian night a number of years ago, it exploded - knocking the dedicated duo unconscious. When they awoke, they were robots, sealed in cybernetic gear. Their latest album, "Human After All" (which is not my favourite) is super-saturated in the human/robot synthesis they have longed for, obtained, and executed ever-so-wonderfully (if not at least very self-referential of their music, mythos, and meme). It's the feel-good story of the year!
If you like anime at all, you should check out their first feature film, "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem". It's the "Discovery" album tuned up with animation and storyline created by Leiji Matsumoto. I happen think it's pretty lovely. That might turn you on to them more - What other music would a biopunk like?
edit: i heart spelling mistakes
