Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

Drumless and no-vocals would be interesting

someone's got a contractual obligation to fulfill with Columbia!!!

Discovery (sample less edition) coming up

This idea is wack tbh.

Random Access Memories (4’33” mix)

Within version is out:

^ tbf, that's a pretty great version

I'm weirdly and unexpectedly really digging this version. Sounds like the best produced muzak ever, highlighting stuff i'd never noticed on the original. A bit of an odd flex but nails what it's meant to achieve - making people listen to the album with fresh ears

As I said upthread, if they took the vocals out too, that would be even better

"We took all the music out." "Ah...excellence."

Also most of the music

I also like this version more than I expected to, but I also wasn't feeling especially cynical about it to begin with

Unsurprisingly the uptempo stuff doesn't work that well - Lose Yourself to Dance is agonizingly long and dull - but the maudlin stuff at the beginning sounds really nice, in a 1986 aging yuppie kinda way
