Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

the most un-ecsstatic, un-lose yourself to dance vocal, like, ever

I just figured out the reason "Lose Yourself to Dance" is awesome is cause it sounds like DJ Quik

it's "Let's Get Down" without charm or vocals.

Well anything next to LGD sounds kinda sad.

Tough metrics

I don't care, I'm #teampharrell

err... what's the resemblance between "Lose yourself to dance" and "Let's get down" ??

dj quik would give lose yourself a lot more handclaps...

The handclaps (and tempo) are what made me think of DJ Quik in the first place! If anything, the mid-tempo 4x4 stomp-clap funk groove places it in the 90s, rather than the Nile Rodgers red herring would indicate. Or if in the 70s, at the wrong end of the 70s -- the groove is more "Superstition" than "Le Freak".

their best-selling album yet:

US: 766,000
World: 2,596,000

Not in the us at least. Discovery has sold 800k+. Will be soon tho.

That Tellier video! Umm...

Cool video but the second robot should be on drums again as there doesn't seem to be any keyboard in the actual song.

part of me feels like they're martha walsh-ing nathan east and j.r. robinson

I dunno what kind of bizzaro world ya'll live in where "Lose Yourself to Dance" isn't far and away the MVP of this record...

Still, if Tony Thompson were here to play on it, it would be that much better, and I think the vocals are alright but hell Robert Palmer could have spanked this into oblivion #RIPThePowerStation

Cool video but the second robot should be on drums again as there doesn't seem to be any keyboard in the actual song.

Haha

The DJ played Get Lucky at a my cousin's wedding reception this past weekend. It was pretty exciting. Folks were gettin' down.

they played like 5 jamiroquai songs in a row at the wedding i went to last weekend, it was dope. "cosmic girl", "alright", "little l", "canned heat"..

Apparently my grandpa ha the phrase "Doing it right" engraved on his tombstone o__o

pretty sweet

Of course, really:

As suggested last week, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is getting a deluxe box set. The box is detailed at their website here and in the graphic below. It ships in early December and is available for pre-order now. It costs $275.

It's a cloth-bound box with a stamp of the album logo in gold foil. Inside, you'll find the record itself as a 2xLP with gold and silver foil labels and an eight-page book of lyrics and art, plus a bonus 10" with an extended version of Giorgio Moroder's interview from "Giorgio by Moroder". The album's audio comes digitally as well, on "gold and silver plated, metal encased" USB drives, which also include the bonus track "Horizon" and Daft Punk's self-remix of "Get Lucky", plus the full-length "Lose Yourself to Dance" video, the Random Access Memories television ads, and an extended version of their Coachella promo with Pharrell and Nile Rodgers.

The box also contains a 56-page hardcover book featuring photos from the recording sessions and video sets, plus a foreward by Paul Williams. And there's also "two sets of Robot helmet design schematics" and two "full body Robot design schematic posters." Not to mention an original film strip from the "Lose Yourself to Dance" video.

I suppose de Giogio extra will be just more interview, not more music...

sounds great, that box set.

shame it has so little new music.

Messieurs, with zees bonus interview disc you're really spoiling us

i want an instrumental album of yeezus so i can make the real best daft punk album of 2013

Poll! Best track on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

is Casablancas wearing some obscure costume or is that just how he dresses now?

also is doing the Futurama '80s guy's Safety Dance dance at 5:08?

I think Thomas & Guy-Man are just dressing up their vocalists like an 8-year-old's idea of a cool rock star
