High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Homework is the debut studio album by French electronic music duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, better known as Daft Punk. Released on January 20, 1997, Homework`s success brought worldwide attention to French progressive house music and incited interest in French touch music, as several touch artists gained influence from its style. According to The Village Voice, the album revived house music and broke free from the Eurodance formula. The duo produced the series of tracks without an initial plan to release an album. However, after working on several projects that were intended to be separate singles over five months, the duo considered the material good enough to make an album.
