Homework is the 1997 debut album from French duo Daft Punk, blending funk, house, acid and techno. It was widely considered one of the most influential electronica albums of the 1990s. It features the hits "Around the World" and "Da Funk". The track "Teachers" is an homage to the pioneers in the Detroit techno and Chicago house scenes and acknowledges (among others) future collaborators Romanthony, DJ Sneak, and Todd Edwards. The tracks "Da Funk", "Rollin' & Scratchin', "Alive", and "Funk Ad" were originally released on Soma Recordings. "Funk Ad" is a reversed portion of the song "Da Funk".
