I suppose all techno from France should be critised in that case.. If you listen to more of the electronic genre from Paris area, you'll note that most songs are Daft Punk'ish. Honestly, its a genre of its own.. Very repetetive and disco tech.
I'll be honest I enjoy the Waves compilations put out by Daft Punk's front man from time to time. But yes I do agree that the music leaves something to be desired.
