Ironically enough, the best samples NEVER come from french songs. Yeah, I mean, we never see Nana Mouskouri songs get sampled.
Come to think of it, I like it better this way...
BTW, I d/led Breakwater - Release the Beast and shit, aside from a few wacky lyrics, it's the same. Even Robot Rock's intro is sampled directly from Realse the Beast's intro. Undeniably.
Funny thing is, if confronted with that, I'm certain Daft Punk would answer " sure we know, we never hid it " and would invite anyone to look at the inside sleeve of their CD to see Breakwater mentioned in bold letters. I don't have the CD so maybe someone can confirm that.
