Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Getting hitched with gr8080, brb <3

you deserve each other, frankly

really expected bobby kimball or lou gramm to pop up in "the game of love"

I'm on my third relisten and i'm still really, really loving this.

I'm reluctant to even share my opinion of it, because I've been so tired of people ranting about it all day on twitter. Everyone needs to shut up, some thoughts can go unexpressed.

*vocoder* some thoughts can go unexpressed *vocoder*

new meme for 2013: get instrumental of "giorgio by moroder" and record yourself talking about boring stuff over it. "morodering." hot. new. meme.

This album has a completely different 'music vocabulary' alltogether. Different sound, different influences, different feel, different approach, different effect. TMSBWY is the perfection of the French House sound 'round the turn of the century, along with Bangalter & DJ Falcon's 'Together' and 'So Much Love to Give'. Simple, ecstatic French House dancefloor anthems that are innocently pure (and oozing the post-rave romanticism the French embraced).

eh, i hear a similar degree of nostalgic affection for classic disco in both, but mileage clearly varies, so w/e

briefly mentioned in a throwaway post by tlg upthread, but fans of "giorgio", "motherboard" and "contact" who aren't familiar w/ alex moulton's "exodus" should really go listen to it imo

alex moulton: lindstrom meets klaus schulze meets alan braxe meets hakan lidbo meets vangelis

First full listen and it's ... patchy. Even yanked it off for a minute or two during Touch. Although I did see my 'Doobie Brothers on Segways' prediction come true with Fragments of Time.

This record is less about Daft Punk's own place in the canon and more about them attempting to push sounds from their own *personal* canon directly (back) into the mainstream.

Absolutely, and I think it wears too heavily.

xp wait i thought you said only one of those sounded like moulton

heh i often jack off when listening to a record for the first time too xp

....????????

i said one of them reminded me of moulton, not only one

also "throwaway post"? come on.

;-)

If you guys really want a full on "Get Lucky" fest, then just get/listen to/steal/whatever Jamiroquai's "A Funk Odyssey" and pretend every cameo sounds like a white Stevie Wonder. Voila!

i got nothing but love for jamiroquai

pharrell sounds like a white stevie wonder??

no dissing Jamiroquai round here

xp blurb for the cover there

yeah Jamiroquai is alright

i just kind of got lost in a daydream about a full length film adaptation of the whole album

where the robots would make only a few brief appearances

That Jamiroquai album is a publicity casualty because well..

A Funk Odyssey
Studio album by Jamiroquai
Released 3 September 2001 (UK)
11 September 2001 (US)

OK, I prayed on it a little bit, and the lord has instructed me that this album kind of sucks. It's really just a well-produced pastiche: Alan Parsons, Goblin, Shakatak, Chic, etc. The vocalists are all red herrings, but it'd be hilarious if it sent the proverbial "kids today" back to Paul Williams. Was listening again with a buddy at his record store, and it really sounded like a bunch of interludes in search of songs.

Hey, btw:

Hip!

all for a jazz funk revival

brb gonna dig this out

one of my first cds!

I remember Melody Maker once having two Singles of the Week, both by Jamiroquai

Say Something Nice About Jamiroquai

jamiroquai is dope imo, i'm strongly considering buying the vinyl reishes of 'return of the space cowboy' and 'traveling without moving'

also i'll probably buy this album too, i don't think it's a classic like discovery or homework but it's fun and the peaks are worth it.

space cowboy is chill as fuck

i'm buying this to acknowledge how masterful their manipulation of my internal hype machine was, they played me like a clear glass synthesizer

i was mildly trolling before bc i think everyone is being hilariously OTT re: this album but it's still pretty cool

It'd be funny if all the guest vocalist just talked about themselves over the tracks they're featured on.

"I was born in Virginia Beach. My mom was a teacher, my dad was a handyman. Me and some friends formed the Neptunes in high school. but we knew we had to go further to get next level..."

"I've been around the block a few times, had hits with the Muppets, Streisand. Did the music for Bugsy Malone ..."

Maybe it's still a hoax and the REAL album will be released next week.

This is one impeccably produced hoax, then. I'd prefer to think of it as one of the best pranks of all time.

Like, the DP robots bought up all the extant Alan Parsons vinyl, and are waiting to sell it off for a mint.

i'm pretty sure this is just a tangerine dream soundtrack remixed by kavinsky

There's hella Vangelis at work here.

Well they said in a recent interview that they're planning on remixing this album, so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that.

hourlong extended instrumenals, one disc per track

That or hour long Sugarhill style rap versions of each track.

space cowboy IS dope

Hopefully something I want to listen to. :/

really feel bad for all the people itt who are being forced to listen to this record, dang

xp yeah i was really hoping this album would sound like alive 2007 pt 2, instead of sub-phoenix whatever

space cowboy IS dope

david morales classic club mix ftw
