Daft Punk's Random Access Memories

We got some news:

Confirmed details about Daft Punk’s forthcoming fourth album are few and far between, although producer/Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers recently hinted that it would be out in the coming months. Singer/songwriter/ASCAP president Paul Williams, veteran bassist Nathan East, Feist collaborator Chilly Gonzales and legendary disco producer Giorgio Moroder (via a spoken monologue) are among others who have reportedly collaborated with the duo over the past couple of years, although whether and what form their contributions to the album might take is unclear.

Also, they've signed with Columbia.

well they've been disappointing me* for 12 years now, so i'm not holding out much hope, but hey, they could still surprise me.

*i never did get to see the live spectacle that gave us alive so grain of salt.

Why wait?

This is playing Minneapolis soon

http://www.daftpunkd.com/?m=1

they've said "expect big news in the coming months" for like 18 months now

Paul Williams?!

Williams said, "I have written songs for Daft Punk. This material will appear on their new album, coming maybe June."
http://www.clashmusic.com/news/daft-punk-working-with-paul-williams

blows my mind this. the guy that wrote Ordinary Dream working with the guys that wrote Digital Love.

didn't DJ Sneak write "Digital Love"?

perhaps it's indicative of their proper place in the music world today but I can't help but see "Dad Punk" in this thread's title

dads r cool too

My favorite Paul Williams jam:

Soon will be having another son.

Promises something to everyone

I am really really excited about the Paul Williams thing - even if they just vocoder "Rainbow Connection".

With people like Paul Williams and Gonzales involved I keep expecting this album to end up sounding like this:

new image on their homepage. the hype cycle begins

oh yeah

Unless they end up messing up big time, I expect this album to be huge. Though, that could be wishful thinking on my behalf.

Yeah, I'm not sure about it, tbh.

Oh it'll be huge but then is turning out to be a bit of a year for ridiculous blockbuster comebacks. Not sure it'll be any good. Does anyone listen to Human After All regularly any more?

it'll definitely be a huge event but I can't imagine it being any good!

lol not sure why i continued with that post

anyway I don't listen to any DP outside of Alive 2007 any more. their full length albums always really bummed me out. Discovery is pretty good I guess.

http://ggeeoorrgg.net/wp-content/themes/tumblelog/images/i_want_to.jpg

I think I'm the only one on earth but I like their TRON ost !

The people they're working with suggest an avenue for it that could yield something good, like a kind of back to roots disco/pop record (apart from Panda Bear but that's a v old rumour.)

scared by the collabs rumors (esp Panda bear) but I am ready to believe

i'd like to see an ian brown or a richard ashcroft involved. or perhaps a really old school rap figure, you know, from before rap became about bitches and hos.

MC Miker G?

No Hope Sandoval no credibility.

...or Beth Orton?

When electronic musicians release albums with several big-name guest stars, the results tend to be pretty meh, right? Psyence Fiction, Fat of the Land, Saturnz Return, etc... Seems this stuff is always less than the sum of its parts, or has someone actually managed to pull it off with great results?

That said, I would by a Daft Punk/MC Miker G collab single in an eyeblink.

Another collab I would love to hear is between Thomas Bangalter and his dad, it's weird that this hasn't already happened? Daniel Bangalter/Vangarde has written and produced many awesome disco tunes that are better than any Daft Punk track.

That may well be true but I just have a reflex cringe at the idea of any musician collaborating with their dad.

But there are many examples of this producing great records! Frank & Nancy Sinatra, Serge & Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Staple Singers, etc...

would his dad wear a helmet ?

I think I'm the only one on earth but I like their TRON ost !

I hope this is isn't the Daft Punk album Gotham wants,

but the Daft Punk album Gotham needs.

(quietly repping for Contino Sessions as a good album w'guest vocalists)

^ good one

the new DJ Koze is the collab-heavy dance album it's ok to like

((has it leaked))

???

the koze...

yup

Basement Jaxx's Kish Kash?

Ha, excellent point. I'm not sure Daft are close enough to their prime to give us a Kish Kash at this point, but we'll see.

sounds exactly how i'd expect a Daft Punk/Nile Rodgers collaboration to sound
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxakggLCkn1ql1xs6o1_500.gif

"let the games begin"

Sounds promising to me, once they stay towards disco/pop and away from blurping techno then I trust them.

goddamn that sounds like nile fucking rogers to me.

It sounds pretty good, I found myself imagining the Digital Love style vocoder that might come in at any moment.

yesssssssss

I take it that's not a sample? That would be interesting, if they've gone straight to their roots and doing straightforward disco now... I wouldn't mind that, because IMO "I Love You More" > "Digital Love".

multiple commercials for this during snl

EVENT!

I'm not a huge Daft Punk fan but if they become responsible for re-introducing Nile Rodgers styled musicality back into dance music I will build a pyramid in my backyard in their honour.

otm

Très chic.

That would be interesting, if they've gone straight to their roots and doing straightforward disco now...

Nile's been talking for over a year now about jamming with them and how great it was

that is like the best-case scenario of what a 16 second sample of their new album could be

YES, this.

Me & The Robots

One day, a friend of mine gave me a record she got for her birthday but didn't like. That record was Daft Punk's first album " Homework " .
I came home, and played the thing. It changed something in my brain and left me with an energy and an excitement I hadn't felt before.
So I played it again, and I've been playing it for the past 15 years. One week after that I stopped my Nirvana cover band to buy a computer and a sound card. I was 15 and that's how I got into electronic music.

Since that day, all my efforts went into trying to make a record that would make people feel the same way, that would make ME feel the same way.
Do Thomas and Guy-Man feel like that when they listen to their own records ? I hope so, if not they're missing out. Much like my other heroes Kraftwerk, they get perfection out of simplicity , which is the real challenge. They are like a magician ( no pun intended ) that reveals his tricks to you but still you stare at him without understanding. I've tried to crack the code, copy them, tried to sound like them until I realized it's not the way to go ( I couldn't anyway… ) and I had to try to come up with my own identity. There is something so special and specific about the way they sound.

All their records were influential, the artworks, the videos, let's not even talk about their live show which is the best thing dance music brought to us. How can you compete with that ? You can't. And you shouldn't. They've been criticized for the sampling ( even by me, I regret it ) but thing is I wouldn't have been able to come up with One More Time, which to me is the best example of how to use a sample to create something new.

Today a 16 second video got me shaking. Physically shaking. I can't wait. I missed them. They know how to push our buttons and how to create incredible buzz and expectations and always match it . Nile Rodgers on the guitar ? We've known that for a while but hearing it sound exactly like what you dreamt of is an incredible feeling.

Daft Punk is the reason why I want to stop making music. They are also the reason why I want to keep making music. It gives me the hope that one day I can hit that spot and make someone feel like I felt today and 15 years ago.

They are back. Thomas, Guy-Man thanks for everything, and even if we've never met I love you both.

very excited by this sample.
otm "hearing it sound exactly like what you dreamt of"
let this be the record of the summer !

keep them shook crews runnin

maybe that sample is a standard Columbia recs jingle from the 70s

Y'all know this album will be hot garbage

not really, no. i don't know this.

lol at a COMMERCIAL being yanked from youtube for copyright infringement.

lol at a COMMERCIAL being yanked from youtube for copyright infringement.

really ?? lol indeed !

http://infinitedaftloop.com/

YESSSSSSSSSS

I assume the entire album is going to be that 15 seconds looped ad infinitum anyway

i would probably be ok with that

I wouldn't, really

Sounds promising to me, once they stay towards disco/pop and away from blurping techno then I trust them.

i feel exactly the opposite, HAA excepted

HAA has its moments IMO ("Steam Machine", "The Brainwasher", "Technologic")

i think the problem is it has a lot of good moments but then stretches those moments out a little too far w/o enough variation to keep it interesting

HAA has its moments IMO ("Steam Machine", "The Brainwasher", "Technologic")

lol and you're saying this next one is going to be shit?

I love blurbing techno/house, but IMO Daft Punk have never been particularly good at it. Disco/vocal/pop house seems to be their forte, so hopefully they're getting back to that.

Yeah that's my view.

Apart from Homework I guess, but that was a different matter. I just don't trust their sense of direction with harder stuff as much as I trust them to make a good disco record.

the 1997 mix cd is pretty tough and v v good

yeah, true. just like how they'd dip back into that world now, i don't know.

so are parts of the 2007 one, i see that album as the nail in the coffin for that sound. everytime i put it on i'm surprised by how good (and moving, at times) it is.

i always figured HAA was a reaction to that whole 'trying to be daft punk' copycat thing that's persisted for the last 10 years or so. especially the way things were heading around 2004-5 with certain scenes getting bigger, louder, brasher, less conceptual, less futuristic-techno-robot-utopia-celebration, more mid 00s-anxietyridden-dystopia. i find a lot of that boys noise/justice/simian mobile disco type scene really ugly.

i actually really like how little happens on HAA and how 'lo-fi' it is. it's not like they didn't give the fans what they wanted all along with alive 2007 anyway.

this loop is funny though, it's not really giving much away. i don't really like the drums on it but it does has that magical daft punk sunshine vibe, which is a good sign imo.

i'm really hoping the morodor collab is some kind of 10 minute disco arpeggio prog odyssey

like this ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM49JFEsd7g

Moroder's contrib is spoken vocals tho AFAWK

As Far As Winona Knows?

This loop, for all we know, is a snippet of a breakdown on one song. Do we know if Nile actually played on everything or just dropped in to play on some stuff?

lol if the loop was the panda bear track

Yeah, here's Giorgio talking about his contribution:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5koXi_49rDs

unheimlicher perfectionist!

amazing

But didn't HAA essentially encourage more of that type of sound?

Yeah I raised an eye at that, HAA basically *is* that sound.

HAA was maybe more tongue in cheek than it seemed? i dunno - it's kind of a crap album but in the context of Alive 2007 it's very good. In the same way I don't think Homework really sounds too good these days after seeing what they did with those tunes later on. Discovery still sounds good though.

HAA was a practical joke AFAIC

i listened to discovery all the way through for the first time in what must be years yesterday and it sounded glorious. i forgot how many songs were on it!

"Digital Love" is still such an incredible track

OTM

yes, and one more time etc but i had forgotten how many OTHER tracks there were

I always skup One More Time. Never enjoyed it a great deal TBH.

more like one less time

tbh Alive 2007 ruined pretty much all DP for me since I only want to hear the version of "One More Time" that goes into "Aerodynamic", or the "Superheroes" that runs with "Human After All". I think "Digital Love" and maybe "Da Funk" were the only tracks spared from this (the former because it wasn't on Alive nor would it have fit, the latter doesn't really mix well with others). In that respect HAA felt like an "expansion pack" release, none of those tracks were really good on their own but damn do they mix well with everything else.

Shit, I've had Alive 2007 hanging around since... must be 2007, and I still haven't given it a proper spin. Will change that tonight.

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.

vincent price

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.

www.dancingastronaut.com

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.

star wars

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

spencer chow otm

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.

No, Michael had not contributed pre-mortem

no?

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.

ILX pre-covers !

That would be a great idea.

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

yeah this needs to happen

so gonna happen

i'll bet 10 bitcoins that this album is called Daft Punk

to change from the previous ILX pre-covers iterations, the concept could be that the tracks have to "sound exactly like what you dreamt of" !

i'll bet 20 bitcoins that the ILX covers album is better than the real deal

dibs on whichever track has the moroder spoken word thing; dibs on using Ned in a spoken word thing

i am listening to Alive for the first time ever and it's pretty great

1997 or 2007?

2007

in my french lesson the other day the prof asked everyone "who can name some french musicians" and no one said anything. finally a dude was like "who are those 2 guys who dress up like robots?"

i thought of this thread

lol

No longer untitled!

Of course, these should be the actual song titles:

So. ILX Pre-Covers?

Hahah a thought. I'd rather have some actual song titles first but nobody's stopping anyone from prepping ideas...

awesome awesome title

Really?

Seems hacky to me.

Thats a... criticism, i guess.

yeah it's a completely hacky title compared to the greatness of 'human after all'

Random Access Memories and Human After All are both great titles.

i was being sarcastic ;_;

i love the title and i love the cover

this is going to suck

Suck like a FOX!

While the title and cover are fantastic, I suspect it will suck.

The phrase "pre-order on iTunes" how am I to make sense of this

1. go to iTunes
2. click a button to pay money
3. come back in two months and click same button to download music

IT'S EASY

New clip sounds amazing. I need this album now.

Am I still guaranteed to get the album even if iTunes runs out of mp3s

Do you need to come back to download or does it do it for you when the date comes?

I should probably sign in on iTunes at midnight just to be sure.

https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/img/uploads/addon_icons/11/11636-32.png

may 21 wtf that's like 2 months away

the only way to guarantee yourself a copy of this record is to line up and camp out overnight at the iTunes store

I'm surprised how much this sounds like "classic" era DP

In case it wasn't clear, this was a response to people saying "this is going to suck". Disco obviously rules over all creation, k?

I'll help you clean up your barf.

I'm going to guess that amazing track is called "Get Lucky".

I'm sitting here cycling through the youtube quality settings making my own remix!

sounds like busier/more disco-y "Harder Better Faster Stronger"?

harder busier faster discoier

it sounds almost exactly like one bit of the "Harder Better Faster Stronger" solo. except I think I'm gonna be more likely to listen to this new one.

at this point I may be even more excited for this album than for the new Knife album

physical preorders are up too: http://www.myplaydirect.com/daft-punk

Sadly this is how it seems to be at the moment. I prefer to get albums on vinyl these days and have recently looked into getting the new Knife and Flaming Lips albums which are also double vinyls at a similar price.

the track titles are the spaces between the number and the length

Interesting -- from Andy Zax on Twitter:

Apparently, the only sample on "Random Access Memories" is from a song by new wave cut-out-bin denizens The Sherbs.

Meaning these guys, I'm guessing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvYFqTRwhqM

I can hear it.

And Andy confirmed that this is indeed the case.

More about the Sherbs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherbet_(band)

They're sampling *Sherbert* when they tried to be a half arsed 'new wave' outfit???!??!!?? ~~ WOW ~~

how's that?

Daryl Braithwaite won't need to busk with the big guitar case anytime soon.

Andy sez he's not sure if it's that song, but yeah, that phase of the band.

Where's Andy getting his info from?

That I don't know, but he has enough contacts in the industry via his own work over the years so this is a perfectly plausible claim.

It might be this Sherbs song which Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon, under the Together monicker, sampled in this DJ Mix.

pick a new sherbs song dudes

I love him as a producer but he can't sing for shit.

Mexi-mexican mexican lucky.

Actual lyrics might be 'All night to get lucky' though.

he's clearly singing "we stay up all night to get lucky" ... jeez... get your ears checked whydontcha!!!

ok now I'm thinking this album is going to suck again

If they vocoder Pharrell enough it'll be fine but it does raise the possibility of Daft Punk imitating Prince which doesn't bear thinking about.

pharrell can be a good vocalist in the right context

otm

Yeah he can but I get the feeling that Pharrell and Daft Punk might well bring out the worst one one another.

yeah this probably isnt a popular opinion but i really like his singing on 'cot damn'

Yeah he can but I get the feeling that Pharrell and Daft Punk might well bring out the worst one one another.

the track Daft produced for the last NERD album was the least terrible one iirc

I liked the last NERD album but I realize that's an unpopular etc

liked that neptunes remix of harder faster

this collab will be better than the track pharrell with cassius

tho prob not by much

I liked the last NERD album but I realize that's an unpopular etc

me too rev! hooray

tbh I don't remember anything else off the album but relistened to Hypnotize after posting that and yeah I like it

I'm more worried about the fact that he's on not one, but three songs on the album.

yeah, "Hypnotize" was very good so I don't particularly worry about this collab.

lol yeah i just clicked that :X

dont get me wrong i fn love this but does anyone else think its kind of a questionable way to market a heavily anticipated album by an established artist

its a little like if arcade fire got bruce springsteen to talk for 8mins on youtube

i'm so psyched that this is dropping in time for summer. looking forward to hearing oo-oo-ah-ahh-ahh-uh-get-a-luuuucky in every bodega, store, street, and car.

otm about the creators project, but i totally think releasing only small loopable bits from the album is pretty clever viral marketing

i think daft punk are 'leveraging social media'

u think

xp to gr8080: I get where you're coming from but I think they're doing a service to their aesthetic vision for this album and to our broader musical culture by explicitly tying the personal memories of disco forefathers to their mass marketing campaign. I am normally way cynical about this sort of thing though. I think it's just because I've grown to really love & trust Daft Punk that I am giving them a pass.

p interesting after reading this 2 days ago:

Also I'd rather hear it about disco and all that rather than yet another fucking rock band.

i think daft punk are 'leveraging social media'

allow me to blow your mind: each person that retweets or re-facebooks or "plus 1s" a facetweet+ is potentially contributing to a "multiplier effect"

i'd listen to the boss talk for 8mins about farting but thats just me

omg moroder briefly singing "one more time" is the best thing

daft punk have played in many cities that are full of fearful people, spoiling everyone with their good time music, and many people after the concerts talk about how there was exceeding much spoil in them.

I predict a pitchfork score of 8.0

this lead-up is going to be excruciating isn't it

Nah if this is any good at all I predict way higher of a score.

it might just be the coffee but THIS GET LUCKY CLIP IS SOOO GOOOOD I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM

p much

wow at moroder's pitch memory. he nailed "one more time"

title memory not so good

what is that one, you know, goes "one more time"?

'television rules the nation'

i think one of the reasons i am amped for this is because it's gonna come out right before i have to drive across country for a move and i plan on blasting it basically non-stop

am I a complete dumbass for only noticing at the end of the Moroder video that the two clips previously released seem to be from the same song? I'm guessing yes.

god i hope this album is not just discovery redux

that's what i speculated a few days ago, merdeyeux

discovery redux i can dig. i hope this album is not human after all redux!

haha man i hope nile is on every track he sounds great!

not getting the impression from the 30 secs or so we've heard and what moroder says that this will be going over old ground too much.

Even if RAM is meh, I will probably convince myself this is a great record given the (so far) great publicity campaign.

Too easy:
http://www.circletalentagency.com/artist/one-more-time-a-daft-punk-tribute

every time i see this thread title a voice in my head appends "... is going to suck" but i admit i have high hopes for the todd, nile and dj falcon tracks

"They reversed gears and went back to a time that no one's really focusing on"

I disagree with Todd in that respect given the fact that there's been a lot of artists in the past few years who have been taking influence from the whole west coast pop/ yacht rock type of sound. Of course that doesn't mean I'm not excited to hear what Daft Punk will bring to the table.

Todd was in his basement at that time so he didn't notice

I think he was referring specifically to the electronic music scene, in which case, he's right.

not really. been loads and loads of sun damaged, west coasty, beardo, balearic, whatever electronic and a handful of ilm threads discussing it all

now if you were to say electronic music, at least in recent years, hasn't tended to sound like the fuckin' eagles, he and you'd be very very right on.

todd terje kinda sounds like the eagles

todd vs. todd

I like "prepare to get DP'd"

haha you're right Matt. i rescind one of my "very's" from my claim

*prepares to get dp'd*

what's up with the stock footage of women in cocktail dresses dancing spliced into these videos?

isn't phoenix soft rock + house music?

I'm now expecting one of the songs on this album to sound like this:

not even one mention of the eagles. i don't know what to think anymore.

nile is the best guy ever.

ya. I like how he calls them 'the robots', no breaking the gimmick for him.

is there ANY way this lives up to the hype? i'm not gonna lie, "get lucky" sounds incredible

Worried I'm just going to skip that track when the album actually comes out.

Put on random. Get Mexican lucky.

This is like an ILM poll rollout except the suspense is not enjoyable... jeez release the thing!!

You guys got me, the hype worked. Now let me go buy the album!

this is way more enjoyable than waiting for an ilm poll.

We could complete an ILM ballot poll on this album before the album arrives to fill time.

POLL THREAD: what will be the best song on random access memories?

POLL OPTIONS:

• "get lucky"
• some other song

is there ANY way this lives up to the hype? i'm not gonna lie, "get lucky" sounds incredible

+1 -- this almost feels like Derek Taylor's campaign for Smile back in 1967, which promised to change the face of pop music. We all know how that turned out -- and as much as I'm a fan, I'm not convinced these guys have Brian Wilson's chops (tho they do pick great collaborators/samples).

What's it going to take for this to live up to the hype?

1. Some connection to their greatest moments (as indicated by the "Get Lucky" clips) but not so much that it's Discovery 2.0),

2. Somewhat related, development. Even if people didn't like Human After All or Tron Legacy, you at least had to acknowledge that they weren't just trading on past glories. As good as it sounds, this is what is potentially worrying about "Get Lucky."

3. Great songs. A differentiator for DP has been tunes -- "Digital Love," "Human After All," "One More Time," "Face to Face," etc. It makes them transcend into a pop act and appeal to a really wide variety of audiences.

hmmm i never thought about it that way, but i guess it would be good if this album had good music on it

GET FUNKY!

Serioulsy, there is no way this album can dissappoint, with Moroder, Edwards and Rodgers on board. Not after the all too human error that was 'Human After All'. This will fucking rule and I cannot wait.

Yeah he really does. All these teasers and hype is just totally working on me, I can't remember the last time I was this excited about an album.

Same

Freaking out

Same

Crying

damn

cool so maybe now people can quit with "this album will rule except for pharrell because he sux"

they should just continue unveiling the album 30 seconds at a time once a month forever

chills

pretty sharp promotional move there. i mean, it seems kinda like an obvious thing to do in retrospect, but at the same time, i can't remember anyone running a big-ass ad in the middle of the biggest-ass festival and all those camera phones and twitterererers and whatnot. i dunno...i like it.

Stand up like a Mexican monkey

kinda hope this gets radio play

Love the fact that they've been teasing us just with snippets of the same song.. It's noticeable how in those videos with collaborators they haven't revealed much else yet.

That was some serious trolling. I was going "well played, Daft Punk, well played"

I like that they alphabetized Panda Bear as though Bear were his last name

That's Mr. Bear to you

Same with DJ Falcon, though a little less noticeable.

damn, "get lucky" sounds fucking GREAT. dying to hear this.

do we officially know that it's called "Get Lucky"? could possibly just be "Lucky"

much as i do like pharell on it, i could happily sit here listening to those last 42 seconds on endless repeat until delerium takes me. or at least like fifteen minutes.

this album is going to suck

...YOUR MIND

Ha, they should release this movie exclusively in IMAX 3-D, and make people pay $15 and wear glasses in the theatre every time they want to watch/hear it.

1:30 long poor approximation of a carl carlton track (featuring shiny robots) has not changed my mind

stunned by this, best album of 2013

glad to see some things haven't changed while i've been away

Jesus H., Daft Punk is still number one trending this morning.

(On Twitter, obv., but here too, so.)

poor approximation of carl carlton > poor approximation of nurse with wound

r.i.p. daft punk; when you try to approximate carl carlton, you best bring your a-game

Get Lucky sounds like a summer anthem for sure — — — — those hi-hats when the vocoder comes in?! Dayum!

When all this album talk started bubbling up, and when the SNL appeared with the snippet of music, I was all WAH WHY THE LONG WAIT but now I think scheduling the release for the latter part of May is ideal. I wanna kick off my summer with this thing.

SNL *ad

I think they're being savvy about building up hype enough to ensure big first week sales.

They sort of feel like the biggest band in the world right now. I know they aren't, but maybe they should be.

when I heard the bit of this lucky song on the advert a while ago with the vocoder bit I thought he was singing funky and now it becomes clear he's singing lucky and I am not buying this record

the snippet of the video with pharrell and nile is refreshingly atypical of 2013 music video look/feel

otm

also no anime thank god (worse thing they ever did, 100x worse than tron)

Nile listening to the track on hps is pretty genius. The whole campaign seems scripted like clockwork. Can't wait to see how it progresses from now on

there is something about the unexpected shot of pharrell, centre-stage, smiling, that reminds me of the crash zoom into leonardo dicaprio's face in the django unchanged trailer. it works out really well though. he flexes into the shape of disco vocalist very smoothly.

so the album cut of this is gonna be 6 minutes long; I can dig it.

8- Nile Rodgers (Guitar), Pharrell Williams (Vocals) - 6:07

is the vocoder being modulated by Pharrell's voice *and* Nile's guitar?

backlash? if only ...

nice clip, this will be good. for those in a daft punk mood who don't know, there is a movie on the pirate bay https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8346219/Daft_Punk_-_Alive_2007_by_Jarodc
"Live concert of Daft Punk at Bercy for the tour Alive 2007"
it is entirely made of clips filmed by the crowd's handheld devices. it sounds good, looks a bit worse than the concept on paper but i liked it. one great bit: at one point, part of the crowd were making pyramid signs with both hands in the air.

They sort of feel like the biggest band in the world right now. I know they aren't, but maybe they should be.

Everything's lined up almost too perfectly... This could very well be the case within a few months.

FWIW. I mean, for all I know Skrillex is the biggest band in the world, but I don't know what the even means anymore. I guess it can be gauged by how many people it can attract to a live show?

I think the hype is hilarious but in all seriousness I hope for the best and they'll obv make a better "current biggest band" than Mumford and sons.

Cival-war-wave is the 80's metal to Random Access Memories' Nevermind. lol

consumptioncore

i hope they really go with the poor carl carlton approximation thing tbh

i think the second line pharrell sings isn't "if you want, believe i'm ready" but "IF YOU WANNA LEAVE, I'M WIT' IT"

On the real tho, turning the practice of staying out all night in the hopes of getting laid on its ear and making it sound elegant instead of desperate it a pretty spectacular achievement.

like watching the end of a party through smoke a waterfall

i kind of hope this is the video for the song, just skateboard p, nile, and the robots jamming in the black

black and gold is agl.

i think this could still fall a little flat, like there's a risk of it being a retro pastiche and the parts not really adding up or making sense, those lyrics have me a little worried and i'm not that impressed w/ pharrell's vocal. but then the chorus has a lovely melody and nile jamming is still just the best thing in the world. i'll definitely enjoy this fwiw.

putting casablancas on this album is an amazing troll

i'm up til at least 9:30 to get lucky

feel like if they had a good diva collaboration they could have really knocked this out of the park. but then i would. xp

xxpost -- Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

care to explain?

They've never used a female vocalist have they? I know a lot of their vocals are fairly androgynous but it's still a bit weird

i like julian casablancas' voice, i don't think it's a troll as much as it feels a little focus grouped to me, like let's do a real album with all these real musicians, gotta include the strokes guy and the animal collective guy. hmm idk. anyway, i hope they gave todd edwards carte blanche.

It is kinda weird!

"High Life" seems specifically female, but yeah, I'd never thought about their general lack of female vocals before.

well how many guest vocalists did they have before this album?

just Romanthony and Todd Edwards

yeah, that objectification of male sexuality in French electronic music has always been interesting to me (it's pretty much the vibe to all French house/disco, but also Air's "Sexy Boy", Talkie Walkie... and I suppose the sensibility includes a lot of continental house/disco/techno guys as well... tho nobody does it like the French). def a vibe that would code differently for mainstream America

I think Julian Casablancas got in there because they were both recording at Electric Lady studios at the time.

the relative lack of late-night drunken Coachella hooting and hollering in that clip is kinda interesting to me. like, did everyone actually shut the f up and listen??

also, i don't think Pharrell sux. i like him. but i don't think i think about things like "does Pharrell sux" as much as some do.

yes, i wonder what was happening with the crowd. not exactly the same reaction as a teaser clip of a cape movie at a comic convention.

That video is like the fusion of the dance moves of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" with the costumes of "Rock With You."

ha pharrell's smirk

This kinda sounds like the song that Niles plays on the creators video. Could it be real?

http://youtu.be/8eCLCaBsJr0

you are joking right?

Shazam didn't recognize it.

Well, no, not joking. I kinda suspicious this is prolly fake but at the creators video (around min 10:45) he jams to a a song that he refers to as "the song of the summer" and it doesnt sound like get lucky. Im guessing is another one.... Could be this one if real.

Either way it sounds cool, would love to know who this is, if fake.

Can't believe that 100-seconds of song on a festival screen filmed by some dude is FUCKING GREAT.

Yeah, it sounds okay to me. Can't say if it is or isn't one of the other tracks on the album.

I remember when fakes for Human After All started moving around the internet, one of them was really good (not "Rocker"). I never did find out what it was.

this sounds like it took 5 mins to make. they'd chop nile's guitar to buggery like that? lol. that looped bassline figure? they don't do that. hugely compressed horrible horrible sounding bassline drowning everything out. those awfully programmed drums with those lol swooshes and that out of tune vocal snippet. pff.

uh.

oh, oops, crackle box, thought you were talking about the get lucky video above.

GET LUCKY IS HUGE.

Kbp hot on moka's tail

higher quality of the get lucky clip ran on snl tonight apparently (same user with the supposed lose yourself clip as well, for whatever that's worth)

I think the last album I was this hyped to hear was Born This Way, and, though other people had problems with it, I wasn't disappointed with it as an album. Some tracks were clunkers, but even the clunkers demanded my attention. I developed a relationship with that album, for better or worse, and still play it on a regular basis. What I'm saying is, even if the 1:42 of "Get Lucky" we've heard turns out to be the finest part of Random Access Memories, I'm so invested in digging deep into this album now that I can't imagine considering it a disappointment no matter what it sounds like.

Last album that made me eager to hear it was king of limbs and that was only for 10 days. Idk if ill be able to save the hype for this one over a month.

the big leaps in the melody and how the harmonies build up through the verse remind me of michael mcdonald a little bit, prob just thinking that cuz of the hype but w/e.

wonder what they've done with the strokes guy, hope it's a ballad with nods to wicked game- can kind of see that working.

Casablancas sings every song like a ballad, regardless of tempo.

The near-perfect clarity of both the recordings and the video is a real joy.

This is pretty cool, but lol more than usual at the idea that the sound I'm hearing is being produced by this setup

I'd like to believe that if MJ was still with us today he would be the one singing lead on Get Lucky

Late era MJ would have made a dog's dinner of this, you want late 70s MJ really.

Thing about this clip, amazing as it is, is that for a while it doesn't actually sound like Daft Punk at all - it could easily be a Nile Rodgers + Pharrell collab, and then the vocoders come in and it's like coming home.

looking forward to HBFS/technologic all-vocoder fan edit versions

nice way to wake up

cabin in the woods, repeatedly blasting a brief snippet of daft punk across the lake @ 7:00 am

"we've come to far, to reveal who we are..."

Don't think I've listened to a one minute song snippet so many times - it's almost as nourishing as the full thing!

Ha xp, was thinking earlier about how the Beatles debuted Sgt Pepper in the same way the morning they finished it; only it was across Chelsea rooftops and not a lake.

"she's up all night till the sun
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get lucky
we're up all night till the sun
we're up all night to get some
we're up all night for good fun"

I think it's:

"she's up all night to this song
i'm up all night to get some
she's up all night for good fun
i'm up all night to get luck
we're up all night til the sun
we're up all night to get some
we're up all night for good fun"

15 years late to this particular party, I guess, but never realized that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo was just

One awesome thing about that Rolling Stone article, it makes it pretty clear that the band (if not the label) is specifically counting on iPhone users posting stuff on the Internet to promote the record virally. That bodes well, if the labels recognize this, for people being the maintain their rights to record video at concerts -- the banning of which via geocoding has been discussed among RIAA types.

love the sun shot, cute reference

no musical idea this year is better designed to push every ILM erogenous zone (though I doubt lol Pharrell has a constituency left).

When did everyone start shitting on Pharrell? I know his output hasn't been fantastic as of late, but did he devour babies at some point? Judging from some of the comments on various forums, some people either think he's Usher and Daft Punk have somehow 'sold-out', or they're requesting edits without him on it. Weird.

I'd like to believe that if MJ was still with us today he would be the one singing lead on Get Lucky
he probably wouldn't have agreed to it, but either way, i'm now bummed wondering about the idea.

what movie is that screen shot from? xp

i mean sun shot

no hate on Pharrell specifically.. at all

disappointment in Daft punk

aerodynamic is a stone cold masterpiece, would putting pharrell doing a verse on it improve it?

It's THX 1138 bill

Pharrell sounds great on this and the jaded eyerolling is nagl.

In fact it's Pharrell that makes it great.

the only thing nagl is the fact that aerodynamic, digital love, crescendolls and other classics deserve better than that flaccidity

its called standards yo. some things are better than others, unles you don't agree that those tracks are higher level than your average music. if you think pharrell is already on the same level as daft punk than i can understand how that would work in your mind
anyway
still excited: obviously

You are of course aware that Pharrell doesn't actually feature on any of those songs, right?

we were up all night to get lucky

midnight launch for single?

Pharrell is just a turn off for me personally, and I think a lot of people feel that way. I feel the same way about Julian Casablancas but we haven't heard any of that track so I'll reserve judgment. I just think it's a bad move to bring in strong/divisive personalities as collaborators - especially on vocals, where personality/style is so up front. Obviously a lot of prejudices coming to the table but I'm none too happy that my first listen to a real new Daft Punk song involved a healthy dose of "Skateboard P."

keep daft punk white

silver

Single released at 12 in europe or america?

its called standards, yo

pharrell/casablancas are "divisive personalities" on ilm and ilm alone, to every normal person in the world they are just popular music artists

i have a standard it's call does this sound like an awesome daft punk song

a: yes

keep daft punk white

lol had same thought

Dunno, at some point you just have to accept and embrace this as the blockbuster it's obviously intended to be, but even complaining about Casablancas feels off when fucking Panda Bear is on this.

xp
that would have worked except what he said about casblancas

xp at least it isn't matthew dear amirite

god I had forgotten about Panda Bear - let's hope he's vocodorized as hell

Judging by Casablancas' solo album, it”s not such an odd match. That album was filled with 80s pastiche here and there.

Panda bear, on the other hand... I love him but I can't see the connection. Also he”s not a great singer, it fits his style but it has null pop appeal. I hope he proves me wrong.

if "keep daft punk white" was your first thought then you're probably p fucking racist

oh dear

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9627011/photos/facepalm.gif

If the Panda Bear track is a downtempo one it'll probably be alright. The idea of letting him loose on a banger though...

"i have a standard it's call does this sound like an awesome daft punk song"

it did before it sounded like a dated track off a kanye west album. so if the question was: "does this sound like a pretty good NERD song" then yeah, a:yes

but if the question was does this sound like an awesome daft punk song a:no

maybe "does this sound like a daft punk song molested by itself"

certainly we can all just roll in the shit together, its better that way no? we don't like anyone pointing out when diarrhea is spilling through the cracks

fuck collaborations and fuck anyone who would say fuck anyone who doesn't say fuck collaborations and visa versa

you're saying what we're all thinking

Wait what Kanye West album tracks sound like this?

no doubt my niggas

"god I had forgotten about Panda Bear - let's hope he's vocodorized as hell"

exactly, i was hoping these niggas would be rendered unrecognizable you know, faceless

oh jeez
