Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Maybe not the final version of the mix, but I think it's close. Not an influences mix (though I'm sure Daft Punk like most of the artists), and not trying to fully capture all facets of 'Random Access Memories,' but basically a response to how much I like the album, and an opportunity to spend more time in the same sonic universe.

Had probably twice as many possible inclusions as what made the final mix, and I'm sure ILM could suggest dozens more. . .

That's fantastic

damn, that looks amazing! look fwd to listening to it later.

listening to RAM while driving in the sunshine this weekend, i had my first moment of 'this album is better than Discovery' madness. i'm sure it'll pass....probably.

ty for Gary Wright youtube, just because I now know what Sam Sever sampled for Wordz Of Wizdom

warm, wonderful sounds of funky, melancholic robots skirting around the edges of the discotheque, alternately wondering what life’s about and deciding it’s all about forgetting to worry what it’s all about

*retches violently*

thanks!

NOT an xp

it's a good mix though

maybe just not a bad mix

nah it's pretty good

BUT i think just about every track is "warmer" and "funkier" and more wonderful than just about everything on RAM

like "within" sounds like "far side virtual" compared to OMD

I'm a natural curmudgeon about contemporary music, especially when it's "retro". But the album really works for me, a few small quibbles aside. To each his own--we all still have the great original stuff.

I'm curious--are you as skeptical of the Italians Do It Better stuff? Or to they get it more right, in your opinion? Listening to 'After Dark' for the first time in a few years, and thinking it stacks up pretty darned well against the "original" stuff.

two tracks in and this mix is totally stellar, great work soundslike

this mix rules

It's definitely top notch.

Yeah it's fantastic. Doing the rounds on twitter too iirc

Glad you all dig it. I've been pent up not having time to make mixes for three years, so the new Daft Punk coming out right when I finished grad school--couldn't pass up the excuse. Cool thing was a bunch of the stuff I'd been wanting to mix anyway over the last couple years was a legitimate response to 'Random Access Memories'. Couldn't believe that even the sad singer-songwriter dramatic stuff was on RAM--that Beaver & Krause track had been in my pocket for years, and it worked perfectly.

i'm not as skeptical of IDIB, mostly because they haven't gotten the same level of overblown praise that DP has, partly because their methods seem updated compared to the old stuff, and perhaps most of all because their tunes are just much more listenable to my ears than the new daft punk

listened to ye mix again btw and it's real nice

Makes sense. Pharrel's vocal lines leave something to be desired--mainly, Michael Jackson being alive to sing them himself. But I'm won over, nevertheless.

And thanks!

Cute:

SFJ returns to the album..

I know this is being super pedantic but re: the "no female voices" thing, the choir on "Touch" is an all-female choir, not a boy choir.

It does stand out, though, that they've never had a front-and-center female lead vocal, given the genres they're working in. . .

yeah, I agree it is notable.

i mean it does seem like whatever vocalists they used always function as stand-ins for the robots themselves

I've been dying to hear a Daft Punk track with a solid female disco vocal myself for quite some time. I wonder if it will ever happen.

Sfj surprisingly OTM

i tend to like him better when he's doing more off the cuff pieces
