https://ra.co/news/74731Iconic electronic duo Daft Punk have split up after 28 years.
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo hinted at the news earlier today via an eight-minute YouTube video titled Epilogue. The clip, which shows one of the duo being blown up, is an excerpt from their 2006 film, Electroma. When Pitchfork followed up with Daft Punk's publicist, she confirmed the duo have broken up.
The news may come as a shock to fans. Just last April, Daft Punk were rumoured to be scoring Dario Argento's next film, Occhiali Neri.
Formed in the early '90s in Paris, Daft Punk became one of the most recognisable electronic acts in history, as famous for their robot suits as for hits such as "One More Time," "Get Lucky" and "Around The World."

I find it fascinating to see if endings relate to Saturn cycles ... like people who divorce after 35

Oddly enough, I have better memories of the 70's than I do of the '10s....

(13,189 posts)14. Yep I'm a "scientist" in that way too -- bouncing events up
against transits to see whether interpretations (like Hands) play out. They do.
Its interesting to see the influence of the longer term outer planets on society and culture too.
Sometimes I wish I/it (the interpretations) were wrong.

(7,702 posts)15. Hand is fabulous. What I love about his interpretations is that, no matter how dire,
he usually gives you a way to work it in a positive way. Then again, with astrology, at least it gives you a framework to know when the influence will be over!
