Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

...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?

Ouch, I wouldn't want to be Daft Punk right now.

He'd never say "sans helmet"

It took him six years to write Little James, that must be amazing

columbia records sponsor lotus.

the only track I find weak/not interesting so far is "game of love".
the rest goes from fun/good to great/glorious.
some tracks are a bit too long though.
my favourite track for now might be "giorgio" (although I have had "within" stuck in my head since this morning).

'game of love' is awfully like the old man jazz yello is pumping out these days

Game of Love and Within are blah and Lose Yourself to Dance drags but I like/love everything else. The sequencing of the second disc is much more effective than the first - I can't fathom the logic behind making Game of Love track 2 instead of Giorgio. It's such a buzzkill.

yeah, "game of love" shouldn't even be on the album. and certainly not at the second position !

I think one of the coolest things about this record is how good a template they've made for other people use as a platform; it'll probably be getting remixed forever and other people will be using this for samples in turn, basically like they made a database of brand new samples - I mean it makes sense looking at it from the perspective of making something akin to the records that originally inspired them

Also I can't stop listening to it, I think it is their best album even if I'm not always entirely sure why. And I'm looking forward to more from RAM, like this is just a starting point which is a nice feeling. People who complain you can't dance to it like Discovery or that certain songs aren't fast enough or whatever may as well be saying you can't dance to disco.

Game of Love and Within are two of the songs on the album I like but don't fully love yet. I kind of feel like they didn't need to put both of them on the album, they both slow the pace down too much on the first half and they both do exactly the same job.

I'm so surprised to see people saying they don't rate Lose Yourself to Dance (Pitchfork included) I've settled on that being my favourite song for now, it's closely followed by Giorgio.

I'm just so in love with this album right now, it just keeps sounding better and better.

Game of Love was my favorite track on first listen. That vocoder hum section at the end is beautiful.

Love the general sound of Game Of Love plus Bangalter's accent coming thru more ("then eet wuz yoooo"). If the music was exactly the same but the singer was being more elaborately in emoting like e.g. Miguel I guess its game would get more love?

I don't really see this being sampled much really or at least not in effective ways (I'm sure people will try) - like to think this was v intentional from DP. Remixes and re-edits (whether by DP or others) is a different matter.

INSTANT CRRUSSSSH

Yeah I guess I just mean it was like they made their own samples more than anything, their own entire record like that which they might have used before and I find something really satisfying in that idea xp

xxposts
yeah, although I've only started to listen to it, I'm already sure this will be my favourite album from them... but somehow, it doesn't really feel like a DP album !
it's closer to a compilation of tracks produced/remixed by DP for other artists.
like, some tracks remind me more of Tellier produced by DP than of DP themselves, for instance.

game of love and within are both great imo

Game of Love:
Keep thinking they're saying "meow just wanted you to stay" at the end.

Xpost. Agreed. I love all three vocoder ballads on this -- Game of Love and Within included. It's as if they heard a melancholy in Herbie Hancock's I Thought It You that demanded further exploration.

I also completely love the chorus to Instant Crush -- including the little synthaxe Layla riff they tuck in there.

I Thought It Was You, that is.

haha oh wow, i get '你要 just wanted you to stay', every time (probably because i've been heavy on the mandopop recently)

who is liam gallagher
The dude who sings Touch I think.

ahah. I'm trying to imagine that !

Tootch...I remember tootch...

please let's not give that cretin any more thought on a thread about music

sure. but just the idea of Liam trying to write "get lucky" is pure joy...

LIAM post-covers Daft Punk's "Get lucky".

xp well he might have trouble spelling "lucky" at first but it's 2 words, I think he'd manage it within the 30-min timeframe if he really concentrated

"we never used a click-track ... what's a click-track? Bollocks that's not the sound of the future, Slade is. Tony can keep 'is own fookin' time"

*erratic drum beat shudders in*

"my name is liam and everybody calls me liam."

"Once you free your fookin mind about quality and music being good, you can do whatever you want, mate".

It's as if they heard a melancholy in Herbie Hancock's I Thought It You that demanded further exploration.

weirdly 'I Thought It Was You' was the last thing I listened to before my first listen to the itunes stream, I'm not entirely convinced I haven't spent the last couple of weeks living in some Herbie-induced fantasy world.

the Herbie track 'Give It All Your Heart' linked way upthread is really good too
