Notes
First pressings come in a red-orange sleeve. Labels colour is lighter than represses.
Second pressings come in a generic black sleeve.
Mixed and recorded @ Daft House, in Paris,
These are the original mixes of these tracks—different than what would end up in later represses by Virgin and their debut in length and mastering.
Da Funk has a longer fade out time by just 3-4 seconds.
Rollin' & Scratchin' continues where Homework's mix stops (at 7:26) with a bar of beats and returning to the screeching synth for a solo fade out.

Musique is by far the most outstanding track that should have been on Homework. Never really liked anything after Alive 1997. DP were a better house duo in the early days. Thomas had mentioned that Homework is a compilation of singles when in fact it contradicts his story by not having Musique on the album.

Historical release ...... in 1995 before this release out, every raver talk about this records -
Edited 4 years agoQuick fact: As per the listing notes, this 1st commercial UK pressing on Soma was issued in a red sleeve, with a slightly rough texture (like acid paper) & an orange tint. Highly iconic for this 12" which caused hysterior on the electronic & techno scene (along with 'The New Wave/Alive'), back when Thomas Bangalter & Guy De Homem- Christo were largely unknown.
When the red sleeves were all spent, they were replaced by plain black.
DP were then picked up by Virgin, no doubt part of their success due to management/marketing/production budget; however it was Stuart McMillan who 'Disco-vered' the duo & provided this insane introduction via Soma, which spread like wildfire.
Perhaps one of the strongest intro's of any band/group, which picked up a video by Spike Jonze for it's re-release on Virgin; Da Funk' remains the definitive sound of 1995 & for fans of the early Daft Punk sound. -
Musique is an outstanding track and I doubt that they have produced anything that could compete with it since. it was all a decline after that high mark. fabulously groovy song and I my first times hearing it. -

Just want to mention that Rollin' & Scratchin' is a top tune for anyone into the analogue synth sound. First heard it in the 90s in a hard techno set and had to ask the DJ what it was. Surprised to hear it was Daft Punk. In summary, the song features a decaying, warped analogue synth that has to be heard to be believed. An unusually hard techno record from the dance pop meisters… -
