Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Ah I've been looking longingly at that tracklist

The way he sings the "we've come too far" bit is amazing.

it is, but isn't he flat on "far"?

Looking at that tracklist I'm kind of disappointed that Nile Rodgers isn't on every song.

I have listened to 'Get Lucky' 160 times today, which is no exaggeration.

I am a crackhead.

i have gotten pretty close to that :-/

No need for ':-/' faces in this thread.

It is simply irresistable, healing, wholesome, genius, amazing. I am running out of superlatives here...

I am a DP crackhead and proud.

That video is like the fusion of the dance moves of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" with the costumes of "Rock With You."

ha pharrell's smirk

This kinda sounds like the song that Niles plays on the creators video. Could it be real?

http://youtu.be/8eCLCaBsJr0

you are joking right?

Shazam didn't recognize it.

Well, no, not joking. I kinda suspicious this is prolly fake but at the creators video (around min 10:45) he jams to a a song that he refers to as "the song of the summer" and it doesnt sound like get lucky. Im guessing is another one.... Could be this one if real.

Either way it sounds cool, would love to know who this is, if fake.

Can't believe that 100-seconds of song on a festival screen filmed by some dude is FUCKING GREAT.

Yeah, it sounds okay to me. Can't say if it is or isn't one of the other tracks on the album.

I remember when fakes for Human After All started moving around the internet, one of them was really good (not "Rocker"). I never did find out what it was.

this sounds like it took 5 mins to make. they'd chop nile's guitar to buggery like that? lol. that looped bassline figure? they don't do that. hugely compressed horrible horrible sounding bassline drowning everything out. those awfully programmed drums with those lol swooshes and that out of tune vocal snippet. pff.

uh.

oh, oops, crackle box, thought you were talking about the get lucky video above.

GET LUCKY IS HUGE.

higher quality of the get lucky clip ran on snl tonight apparently (same user with the supposed lose yourself clip as well, for whatever that's worth)

I think the last album I was this hyped to hear was Born This Way, and, though other people had problems with it, I wasn't disappointed with it as an album. Some tracks were clunkers, but even the clunkers demanded my attention. I developed a relationship with that album, for better or worse, and still play it on a regular basis. What I'm saying is, even if the 1:42 of "Get Lucky" we've heard turns out to be the finest part of Random Access Memories, I'm so invested in digging deep into this album now that I can't imagine considering it a disappointment no matter what it sounds like.

Last album that made me eager to hear it was king of limbs and that was only for 10 days. Idk if ill be able to save the hype for this one over a month.

the big leaps in the melody and how the harmonies build up through the verse remind me of michael mcdonald a little bit, prob just thinking that cuz of the hype but w/e.

wonder what they've done with the strokes guy, hope it's a ballad with nods to wicked game- can kind of see that working.

Casablancas sings every song like a ballad, regardless of tempo.

haw

The near-perfect clarity of both the recordings and the video is a real joy.

This is pretty cool, but lol more than usual at the idea that the sound I'm hearing is being produced by this setup

I'd like to believe that if MJ was still with us today he would be the one singing lead on Get Lucky

Late era MJ would have made a dog's dinner of this, you want late 70s MJ really.

Thing about this clip, amazing as it is, is that for a while it doesn't actually sound like Daft Punk at all - it could easily be a Nile Rodgers + Pharrell collab, and then the vocoders come in and it's like coming home.

looking forward to HBFS/technologic all-vocoder fan edit versions

nice way to wake up

cabin in the woods, repeatedly blasting a brief snippet of daft punk across the lake @ 7:00 am

"we've come to far, to reveal who we are..."

Don't think I've listened to a one minute song snippet so many times - it's almost as nourishing as the full thing!

Ha xp, was thinking earlier about how the Beatles debuted Sgt Pepper in the same way the morning they finished it; only it was across Chelsea rooftops and not a lake.

"she's up all night till the sun
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get lucky
we're up all night till the sun
we're up all night to get some
we're up all night for good fun"

I think it's:

"she's up all night to this song
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get luck
we're up all night til the sun
we're up all night to get some
we're up all night for good fun"

This is pretty cool, but lol more than usual at the idea that the sound I'm hearing is being produced by this setup

i want to believe

One awesome thing about that Rolling Stone article, it makes it pretty clear that the band (if not the label) is specifically counting on iPhone users posting stuff on the Internet to promote the record virally. That bodes well, if the labels recognize this, for people being the maintain their rights to record video at concerts -- the banning of which via geocoding has been discussed among RIAA types.

love the sun shot, cute reference

no musical idea this year is better designed to push every ILM erogenous zone (though I doubt lol Pharrell has a constituency left).

When did everyone start shitting on Pharrell? I know his output hasn't been fantastic as of late, but did he devour babies at some point? Judging from some of the comments on various forums, some people either think he's Usher and Daft Punk have somehow 'sold-out', or they're requesting edits without him on it. Weird.
