Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

They've only been working with him for 12 years, his involvement is plainly going to transform their process

The hyperbole in that listicle reads like ESL

whoa, david foster?

album of the year.

Shit, I'm really buying into all the hype and now my expectations are really high. This can only lead to heartbreak.

perhaps 808s as well?

Have a friend who works in a mastering plant who told me a couple of tracks were made with noted game changer Shigeru Miyamoto.

The .gif from Interstella has me thinking: won't it be amazing if this is a really big record and they win a main award at the Grammy's and they just blink "Thank You!" and ":)" ?!!!

^^ this, very much so

might as well feel hopeful rather than jaded, at least we'll have a few weeks/months of excitement to savour

True, but it's viral/omg/15secs/commercials stuff excitement. It's not the same as true anticipation.

Maybe my robot heart battery is just dying, I can't keep up with this viral/commercial stuff any more. Loathe the buzz.

This kind of hype would be fine if they suddenly announced it was coming out on Monday (MBV style) but I'm sure it'll be a few weeks until we get an album title, then another week until we get a release date. Basically we're probably not going to hear this until July and I'm just feeling too impatient already.

our work is never over

If they were working with Fagan/Becker I would be excited. (xposts)

i dunno Kitch i mean everyone seems to be randomly dropping albums apropos of nothing these days...you never knooooow

Among the many whispers about involvement of Daft Punk’s new album, one name stands alone —Michael Jackon. No, Michael had not contributed pre-mortem, but the team of musicians behind his legendary Thriller have allegedly gone back to work the duo’s fated album.

Toto?

they probably recorded michael jackson with seven different microphones

'thomas can tell the difference'

<i>Toto?</i>

I was thinking maybe Rod Temperton.

No, Michael had not contributed pre-mortem

no?

ILX pre-covers !

That would be a great idea.

I'll buy a helmet once we get the tracklisting !

yeah this needs to happen

so gonna happen

i'll bet 10 bitcoins that this album is called Daft Punk

to change from the previous ILX pre-covers iterations, the concept could be that the tracks have to "sound exactly like what you dreamt of" !

i'll bet 20 bitcoins that the ILX covers album is better than the real deal

dibs on whichever track has the moroder spoken word thing; dibs on using Ned in a spoken word thing

i am listening to Alive for the first time ever and it's pretty great

1997 or 2007?

2007

in my french lesson the other day the prof asked everyone "who can name some french musicians" and no one said anything. finally a dude was like "who are those 2 guys who dress up like robots?"

i thought of this thread

lol

No longer untitled!

http://pitchfork.com/news/48797-daft-punks-new-album-is-called-random-access-memories-out-may-21-listed-on-itunes/

Of course, these should be the actual song titles:

01 4:34
02 5:21
03 9:04
04 3:48
05 5:37
06 5:53
07 8:18
08 6:07
09 4:50
10 5:41
11 4:39
12 4:11
13 6:21

So. ILX Pre-Covers?

Hahah a thought. I'd rather have some actual song titles first but nobody's stopping anyone from prepping ideas...

awesome awesome title

Really?

Seems hacky to me.

Thats a... criticism, i guess.

yeah it's a completely hacky title compared to the greatness of 'human after all'

Random Access Memories and Human After All are both great titles.

i was being sarcastic ;_;
