Contact (Daft Punk song)

Daryl Braithwaite, Tony Mitchell, and Garth Porter are also credited as writers due to the song containing a sample of "We Ride Tonight" by Australian rock band the Sherbs.

[3] In addition to the sampling, "Contact" is said by Q Magazine to be composed of orchestral and synthesizer riffs,[4] progressive layers and concludes with what Louis Lepron of Konbini called a "sharp guitar chord".

[6][7] The NASA sample features a recording of Eugene Cernan from the Apollo 17 mission, in which he observes a flashing object from a window of his capsule.

[9] Bangalter emphasized the choice of Cernan, the last man to leave the surface of the Moon on the final Apollo mission, being used to end the album.

NME interpreted the sound as "not unlike a huge pyramid blasting off into space", a reference to the stage visuals of Daft Punk's Alive 2006/2007 tour.
