Twenty Years before Daft Punk and Toei made Interstella 5555, Rondo Veneziano released “La Serenissima” featuring a musical style and animated music video mirror’s I5555 very closely. The song itself sounds very similar to “Veridis Quo” on Discovery.

Many of Daft Punk’s songs are very similar to older songs that they’ve sampled, with or without permission.
love rondo
This is one of those timeless songs.
Look up Cola Bottle Baby by Edwin Birdsong or Breakwater’s Release the Beast if you want to see some more Daft Punk “similarities”. There’s sampling and there’s using 90% of an existing song.
I’m a fan of Daft Punk and I actually usually defend sampling, but Daft Punk’s first two albums are often straight up rip offs of old soul and disco songs lol. Sometimes it’s painfully blatant that they didn’t change anything even a filter chorus on some of the samples.
Edit: I know people think I’m just being a hater so here’s objective proof

Was this style of video a trend with Italian disco? Looks like the same animator from this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OpnRuooGfw&t=38s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OpnRuooGfw&t=38s) and some of the segments from the movie Heavy Metal.
I’ve been thinking about this video ever since I saw it when it came out. I’ve never been able to describe it sufficiently to find it. The last time I tried was *last week* and now this.
I can’t describe this sensation sufficiently either. Wow.
Thanks!
awesome

DJ unlimited – La Serenissima
I don’t know. I’d disagree that La Serenissima and Veridis Quo have much in common aside from both centering around their own specific ostinato.
As well, I wouldn’t say the animation between this and I5555 mirror “closely”, though they do share some themes.
