(To preface, I've only heard Get Lucky and Giorgio by Moroder off of Random Access Memories, so I'm mainly speaking to the rest of Daft Punk's catalog.)
@Jihad: While I agree with your sentiment regarding Jihen (and to be fair, it's actually rather insightful), how Daft Punk exemplifies anything to the contrary is beyond me. The "Daft Punk sound" has always been tacking different genre influences onto a standard EDM backing. In no way is say, Dopamint homogeneous to Kaze ni Ayakatte Ike, just to give two examples off one album in the same way that the majority of Daft Punk's discography is, one track to the next. Even Giorgio by Moroder is just them doing Giorgio Moroder, and it could easily be congruent to say, Verdis Quo from over a decade earlier. And let's not even talk about their penchant for being almost insufferably repetitive, after all, the same could be said about a lot of EDM.
Anyway, that's my thought on the matter.
