Daft Punk - Random Access Memories


One of the most anticipated albums of the year was released yesterday, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. With the kind of hype that comes with an album like this, from such a respected name in electronic music, there's a lot of pressure for this album to perform. I think the boys from France came through.

They've managed to maintain the quintessential sound that defines Daft Punk while still seeming new and creative. The album maintains a vintage techno/disco sound, expanding the use of vocals in songs from previous albums. Many lovers of newer electronic music might find Daft Punk's sound a bit foreign, but these guys, along with Justice, were hugely influential on the electronic artists of today.

Random Access Memories can be chalked up in the list of awesome Daft Punk albums, despite the long break and high expectations that come with such an established groups new release. You can listen to the single from this record Get Lucky below:
