While music is the normal means of communication for Daft Punk, the French duo chose to tell the story of two robots on a quest to become human in a different manner. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo set their samplers and drum machines aside in lieu of cameras, using the music of Todd Rundgren and Curtis Mayfield, among others, to score the film.

The result is 'Electroma,' a film employing stunning imagery and unique cinematic techniques to document life as an automaton in a suburban American landscape. The film opens up with an epic drive through the California desert in a 1987 Ferrari, which evokes the feel of Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey,' as Daft Punk explore new horizons with this visually captivating intro. Enjoy a five minute excerpt ahead of its July 22nd stateside DVD release.
