Random Access Memories

Product Information

It's performs disco's oldest trick, which is to conjure up happiness from a tiny kernel of melancholy.

For this seismic album, the band developed and enriched the minimalist production style typical of their previous releases though collaborating with session musicians performing live instrumentation, limiting the use of electronic instruments to simple drum machines, a custom-built modular synthesiser, and their signature vintage vocoders. I really liked the catchy single 'Get Lucky', but it segues so perfectly into this record (after album highlight 'Touch'), you groove to it, but barely notice it. I've been a fan of Daft Punk for a long time now and found myself purchasing almost any piece of music that has got Thomas' or Guy-Man's fingerprints on, so when this album was announced I experienced an anticipation for an album that I had never experienced before (this was before even the incredibly clever marketing strategy really took off). Todd Edwards (who of course previously collaborated with the Daft boys on Face To Face on Discover) produces some excellent vocals here and his cut up style that you can hear during the chorus really is the glue that really holds this track together.This is the feel good album of the year (so far, though it's hard to imagine one that could possibly lift you up better on those dark days), and perfectly timed for what could be a long, beautiful summer. Doin' It Right" is definitely one of my favourites if not my favourite track on the album, the vocoders are straight up fantastic and Panda Bear is really on form here. Overall I believe if we give this album time and see if it is a grower then there is no doubts that this could be seen as Daft Punk's best album.

superheroesHUMAN AFTER ALL: I know that there had been lots of mixed reviews on this album but I listened to it a few more times and the songs do grasp you, the ones that had to grow on me and didn't feel to do anything was the 'BRAINWASHER' and 'STEAM MACHINE' as it was disturbing and scary, my favourites on this album though:. This release pays tribute to late 1970s and early 1980s American music, particularly the sounds hailing from Los Angeles at the time. It performs disco's oldest trick, which is to conjure up happiness from a tiny kernel of melancholy. To celebrate this milestone a special expanded edition will be released including 35 minutes of unreleased music ( Demo and Studio Outtakes ).Track D4: Songs published by Imagem Music for the world excluding France, Daft Music / Because Music for France, Stephane Queme, Perfect Pitch Music Publishing (ASCAP). Right from the get go with "Give Life Back To Music" you can see the intent the Daft boys have with this album, its got great melodies and groove, fantastic production and once again those infamous Daft Punk vocoders. Bought this as a gift for my little brothers first vinyl record and the damn thing is warped when you play it it skips constantly it’s not a problem with the record player.
