Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

it still feels odd to me since I had downloaded their infamous Coachella set and that summer I had coworkers who loved DP so we listened to that all the freakin time - when Alive came out it was basically the same but with some minor differences so it always felt a little weird to me

Alive 2007 is pretty much the only Daft Punk album I listen to as an album.

Listened to Alive 2007 at 6am on Friday night/saturday morning at full blast whilst high on life/beers/cocaine and can confirm that it is still GLORIOUS.

casual mentions '13

casually mentioning playing music at full blast

intentionally casual btw.

it's not the side effects of the cocaine

Nathan East is the slept-on collaborator here. Dude's played bass for Barry White, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Lionel Richie, Aretha, Whitney and scores of other greats. Hoping they'll be using him a lot.

I also read somewhere that they were possibly working with some of the studio musicians that worked on Thriller, though I'm not sure who.

i heard Meatloaf was involved with some of the foley work

I heard Scott Joplin was going to play piano.

I heard they're using Thomas Edison's original wax cylinders

I heard u and ur band sold your samplers and bought piano rolls
I heard you and ur band sold your piano rolls and bought opium

I heard everyone that you know is more relevant than everyone I know. xp ha

http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2013/02/5-game-changers-behind-daft-punks-new-album/

i heard they were working with 5 game changers

they're working with tom friedman

i didn't even hear that, i just know that

I love how Gonzales is now considered a game changer

They've only been working with him for 12 years, his involvement is plainly going to transform their process

The hyperbole in that listicle reads like ESL

whoa, david foster?

album of the year.

Shit, I'm really buying into all the hype and now my expectations are really high. This can only lead to heartbreak.

perhaps 808s as well?

Have a friend who works in a mastering plant who told me a couple of tracks were made with noted game changer Shigeru Miyamoto.

The .gif from Interstella has me thinking: won't it be amazing if this is a really big record and they win a main award at the Grammy's and they just blink "Thank You!" and ":)" ?!!!

^^ this, very much so

might as well feel hopeful rather than jaded, at least we'll have a few weeks/months of excitement to savour

True, but it's viral/omg/15secs/commercials stuff excitement. It's not the same as true anticipation.

Maybe my robot heart battery is just dying, I can't keep up with this viral/commercial stuff any more. Loathe the buzz.

This kind of hype would be fine if they suddenly announced it was coming out on Monday (MBV style) but I'm sure it'll be a few weeks until we get an album title, then another week until we get a release date. Basically we're probably not going to hear this until July and I'm just feeling too impatient already.

our work is never over

If they were working with Fagan/Becker I would be excited. (xposts)

i dunno Kitch i mean everyone seems to be randomly dropping albums apropos of nothing these days...you never knooooow

Among the many whispers about involvement of Daft Punk’s new album, one name stands alone —Michael Jackon. No, Michael had not contributed pre-mortem, but the team of musicians behind his legendary Thriller have allegedly gone back to work the duo’s fated album.

Toto?

they probably recorded michael jackson with seven different microphones

'thomas can tell the difference'

<i>Toto?</i>

I was thinking maybe Rod Temperton.

ILX pre-covers !

That would be a great idea.

I'll buy a helmet once we get the tracklisting !
