After rocking the suburbs with the infectious and persistent "Da Funk" (with its amusingly pointless Spike Jonze video), Gallic pranksters Daft Punk unleashed Homework, an album that combined everything good about house music with everything bad about French pop and changed the face of dance music in the process. The sound of production duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem is a raw and dirty collage of cheap drum machines (wired for maximum swing) welded to endless filtered loops and embellished with everything from guitars to talk-box vocals. The beats are lifted straight from the Chicago House textbook, but the simple bass lines and catchy hooks make a listenable pop song from what would normally be a stripped-down DJ tool. Uncompromising yet totally accessible. --Matthew Corwine

Total Waste.......2007-02-01

Written by a non-ringer, who is not stuffing the ballot box... Except for track 7, this album is a total waste of resources. And track 7 is only mediocre. This falls into the worst of the worst albums ever. The only reason I am rating it 1 star is because I can't give it anything lower.

Score!.......2006-10-24

I've always loved listening to Daft Punk songs. While Discovery IMO is a better album, Homework is better for dancing and clubbin. There are classics like Revolution 909, Da Funk, and Around the World, and then there are kickass songs like Phoenix and Burnin, enough to make you want to dance around. If you are new to Daft Punk, get both Homework and Discovery. You can't go wrong with either.

best house album.......2006-07-04

This was my first house album and my first taste of house. And, I couldn't possibly imagine a better introduction than Daft Punk's Homework. It has every sound you'd find in early house tracks

Homework: A New Fans Review.......2006-04-25

So I got into Daft Punks discocery album last year a lot... well I got really into the songs on the album but I had no clue who Daft Punk was or that they had albums out. So I set out to buy their stuf and ended up buying all their albums and some singles like Around the world, Revolution 909 and Alive 1997.
I loved all the albums I got, except this one. I mean I love Around the world and Da Funk, but the others are really not that great... I mean I guess they are good beats and stuff, but as songs I feel they fall short. Although I still give this album much credit for it is their first. And they are good beats...

-Bassically if your looking to buy this album because you liked Discovery or Human AFter All, you might be dissapointed

A Labotomy Is Preferrable To Listening To This Junk.......2006-03-18

The popular songs from this CD may have been club hits, but they don't transfer well to listening in the car or at home. Give me a 6 year old for five minutes and I could teach him musical "skills" that could easily surpass those of Bangalter and de Homen-Christo. The production is excellent, but it's like painting a pile of vomit red - it looks good, but it's still vomit underneath. The songs are dull, unoriginal, repetitive, and boring (and I'm being generous in my appraisal of this CD). This CD should include a "vomit bag" as a standard accessory - it's enough to make any human with an IQ 2 points higher than dead weeds hurl. The A/R corporate moron who signed this band should be fired.

Bottom line blunt assesment: This CD sucks.

An auspicious debut for sure- Herbie knows how to pick 'em.......2007-03-16

Drummer/percussionist Richie Barshay has worked with Herbie Hancock since `03's "Gershwin's World" project. He also been part of the pianist's touring band.
Barshay's "Homework" is one of the most auspicious debuts in recent memory. Although he is just twenty-three years old, the disc showcases a unique synthesis of numerous traditional styles- both rhythmic and melodic. And although he works within a jazz medium, this is clearly a world-music album. "The writing is all Indian," he explains, "and the instruments and the improvising are all American jazz. It is a fusion, but somehow it is different. Instead of using the mother tongue of jazz as the foundation, we're putting the foreign influence first. This opens the door to a place where style cannot be defined."
Opting for a sound which is lean and open, Barshay and his colleagues move easily from mining thick, muscular grooves to those that are gentle yet equally visceral.
Building the program of mostly original tunes around his core trio of saxophonist Daniel Blake and bassist Jorge Roeder, an assortment of guests are used to great effect.
Hancock lends a hand on three tunes, the title track and the two parts of "Clouds." Informed with an adventurous yearning and a terse edge, one is reminded of the pianist's groundbreaking `60s work, particularly as his comping and solos mesh perfectly with the ensemble and Barshay's propulsive mix of drums and percussion.
Monk's "Trinkle Tinkle" is the disc's lone cover. Cast as a percussion/sax duet over a Tukra (Indian syllabic pattern), Barshay and Blake sparkle as they shine new light on an old favorite.
Among the other highlights are "Return Voyage" and "Sim Shalom/Prayer for Peace." The former glides along on an otherworldly mix of sitar and saxophone. The latter is a traditional piece whose message once again resonates with pertinence and finds the group expanded via clarinet, accordion and voice.
This is must-have music.

Uruguayan multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer Hugo Fattoruso is perhaps best known to North American audiences as a member of Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento's band. But Fattoruso has been working for decades on intriguing fusions of jazz, Anglo pop, and Uruguayan music styles such as candombe (a drum-heavy African-rooted style) and murga (carnival music). His records with the Uruguayan trio Opa, recorded and released in the United States in the '70s and reissued in the '90s, are still fascinating, rich with possibilities. Homework, recorded both at his home in Montevideo and a New York studio, is disappointingly uneven. Some of the material is not fully realized. Other songs come across as weak stabs at pop. Still, Fattoruso is capable of smart, neotraditional songwriting, as in the delightful "Conmigo" or "Agua y Aceite." Also, the simple "Melodia de Candombe" and, especially, "El Gramillero" hint at the power, joy, and artistic potential of candombe. More of this would have been welcome. --Fernando Gonzalez

bien Hugo.......2005-07-30

"Brisas" y "mi cancion" son los mejores momentos de este disco en mi opinion, me gusta mucho el canto, me gustaria que existiesen más canciones así en la musica uruguaya.
"los anillos de Alberto" y "atardecer" me gustan mucho tambien.
Terrible copositor ademas de gran interprete.
hugo, espero más discos de temas tuyos

Jazzy candombe.......2004-11-18

Hugo Fettoruso's HOMEWORK presents a fine achievement by one of the members of Grupo del Cuareim: yes, the candombe rhythm is present in HOMEWORK - but so is a more jazzy overlay and a number of elements not Candombe in nature.

Original and just beautiful-- from a US fan.......2004-03-24

This is a great musician. The music is inspiring and refreshing--different yet universal. My friends and I wish he made more CDs available in the US (new material as well as his classics with the group OPA and Los Shakers, which I've heard & read they're not to be missed). Thanks Amazon.com for making this available to the world.

MUSICA HASTA EL FIN DEL MUNDO.......1999-04-01

I worked with Hugo Fatorusso in the Uruguayan film EL CHEVROLE (The Lifejacket)in February 97 in Montevideo. He composed its title song 'Che Chevrole' with his lontime friend Ruben Rada. They put it together against the clock, just before the song was needed as playback for the climatic scene of the movie. The song was an instant hit and Hugo's performance in the film is one of its highlights.

I am delighted with his music for this CD and I am glad he is still composing as I remember him as a dedicated musician. I have nothing but praise for him. Filming EL CHEVROLE was one of the most gruelling experiences ever. Fatorusso went through it with immense professionalism. As the producer of the film I tried very hard that his and other artists' contributions was not lost through lack of commitment. I put together a deal to post-produce it in London with the best available sound. The result is majestic. The film was released in Uruguay in October 98. It broke all box office records and it is now a classic. Bien hecho Fato!!

Magnifico.......1999-03-22

The man has a great feel of the keybord and the music he is playing. The music will remind you of things you had forgotten in the frantic modern world.
