Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Lefsetz just must mean the initial arrangement

also the keyboard melody that drifts in in the second verse of giorgio is amazing, just after "in the beginning". really subtle italo melody just behind the groove.

xp yeah, there was some other interview were Nile said he played them a bunch of stuff and they went away to fiddle with it, so I figure they came up with rough cuts based on those recordings and circulated it around a few times to bring everything properly together.

why does Moroder say his name Giovanni Giorgio, when I think his birthname is Hansjorg?

Giovanni is the Italian cognate of Johannes (Hans) and Giorgio is the cognate of Jorg.

makes sense, thanks

Jean-Georges en Francais.

StanM: no runout groove messages. No numbers or sig even. Just grooves. ;_;

Oh no! Le boooo!

The Touch > Get Lucky sequencing is fantastic. "You want something more? Here's something more!"

mine copy of the vinyl says something on the runout groove...

hold on, let me go check...

~BEWARE OF KANYE~

This feels like an old-school album of two sides, with Get Lucky as the start of the second.

All the Lotus F1 teasers so far:

Contact is awesome n all but It's a bit disappointing that they forgo the incredible funky drumming in favour of CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH for the second half.

CRASH CRASH CRASH is awesome though. No lie, I was reminded of the track Tarfumes did for the ILX Beatles comp.

My favorite drumming moment on this record is the breakbeat that sneaks into the second half of "Fragments of Time"

So the scratching on Giorgio by Moroder, that's samples sequenced to the drumbeat, right? Can't believe it could be that tight done live.

it could be their synth?

ha, yesterday i got to the point of "dude, you need to ease back on the CRASH CRASH CRASH."

saw the vinyl yesterday ..
despite not normally caring re old school scratchy vinyl i was very tempted (in a big studio/session musician mood at the moment - see philly disco !) ..
however, the note on the sleeve re 'includes download codes' put me off.
if they had included a cd a la several other vinyl editions, then i would have done the deed.
also, i love the vinyl label a la advert.
old school columbia red/yellow logo.
looks ace ..

the now-we're-finally-taking-off sound wouldn't be complete without the CRASH CRASH CRASH

"No lie, I was reminded of the track Tarfumes did for the ILX Beatles comp."

no lie, tarfumes is one of the most amazing drummers you will ever see if you see him play live.

is he really an escaped goat?

Woah xp - I've always dreamed of sounding like Nile, and for the first minute of that I think I do.

The groove he locks into at 2:20 though, bloody hell

He was just warming up since he forgot the song give him a break.

allegedly he plays guitar on any album he works on

There's not a track on this album I dislike.

Give Life Back, Giorgio by Moroder, Instant Crush through Get Lucky and Fragments of Time are favourites though.

Within is kind of bleh.

within sets the mood

Yeah i seen it as a transition, it works in the album but it doesnt stand well on its own.

It's the one track I can never really remember how it goes.

I love Within.

Instant Crush and Beyond are the one's that are kind of "bleh" for me, but that may very well change.

It's a good sign that there seems to be no unanimous agreement about what's filler and what isn't. Some dismiss "Giorgio"; others "Lose Yourself to Dance"; others "Doin' it Right".

should we poll it yet

give it a few months

re: "scratching" on Giorgio - i'm pretty sure that's noise from an analog synth through a gate triggered by the drumtrack (with the gate being opened wider around the 8:00 mark) </nerd> very clever, don't remember hearing that on many records

...and probably won't either because you can't do it on your bloody laptop can you

hadn't thought of it but there's got to be loads of similar subtle studio shit on this record actually - haven't seen much talk about that aspect

Within has been stuck in my head for three days.

Proving consensus is dead.

i want to hear more about this vinyl volume issue. i hate that!

Or what Eggs said.

Is it possible this record is as important as it was hyped to be?

my vinyl has no issues on my setup xp

ok cool, i'm probably getting this vile earworm of a classic for father's day

Let's raise the bar, and our CARS to the sky

I wish whoever mixed this had made Pharrell's vocal tracks on "Lose Yourself to Dance" 1-2 dB quieter in the mix. It sounds weird to me esp. when I listen to it at low volume because the groove is so immense and perfectly balanced but the vocals are just barely too loud to really mesh with it. To me anyway.

motherboard kinda reminding me of tree of limbs a lil bit?
