You are describing all of Daft Punk's previous work. They made their career taking samples and stretching them out to make 3 minute songs. The new album's a bit different in that they used mostly original writing and instrumentation to create a feeling of the past. Daft Punk has never been my thing (they've always been too repetitive for me, even their prog-rock freakouts on the latest album), but I think you're not giving them enough credit. Also, it's funny you bring up Katy Perry, when "Last Friday Night" and "Teenage Dream" sound like songs from Discovery that she happened to sing over.
