If Daft Punk are the Beatles of dance music, then this lost 1994 nugget – from a new compilation celebrating Scottish label Soma's 20th birthday – is their Cavern Club: all adrenaline, sweat and raw aggression. (Their Pete Best? A vintage Roland 909 drum machine, duh.) Don't expect any glitter-caked disco samples, though. Three years before their breakthrough LP, Homework (and way before the robot costumes and psychedelic pyramids), Daft Punk specialized in twisted, brutal jams made for big sound systems and dark rooms. Rave on.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
