Somehow one feels with this album in a small recording studio in the 70s and simultaneously set in the distant future. It's so nice that you can keep for real it hardly. Yes, it really is a parallel world, put in a Daft Punk are here, A fairy-tale world of fantasy. And all with incredibly fresh and clear sounds. The new century!
I will not say to each title a little, because some have already said enough, but one or the other but I want to add.
Give Life Back To Music
What a start! Starting with an offbeat short confused, but right after that you find here already the first pearl of the album. Breathed the music again a life! - This message can be found clearly in the music again: True band Instrumentation (certainly a quick shock to the die-hard fans), a groovy guitar riff and a beautiful (albeit distorted vocoder) melody. And that of the two men who had for years known for exceptional electronic, so to speak foreign music people a respectable turnaround.
Giorgio Moroder by
My absolute favorite work on this record. Initially told Hansjörg Giovanni Giorgio Moroder one of the most influential pioneers, if not the inventor of electronic synthesizer disco music from the beginnings of his musical career: At 17 auditions in discotheques, about seven, eight songs - certainly without spending a fortune to earn it. But out of this youth is once the man, who shall soundtracks like What a Feeling and disco classics such as Reach Out and I Feel Love Produce; a man who will work with legends like Freddie Mercury and Elton John and has become a legend itself.
The song of the first begins with a classic disco-Loop, developed by Moroder proclamation Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and music being correct, you can do whatever you want at a progressive mix of electric guitar and creative drum Breaks (at this point it should be noted that it is for the drummer to drummer Omar Hakim Sting).
Touch
This song was described by Daft Punk as the centerpiece of the album. It tells in a sense, the life of the composer Paul Williams, who sings on this track, by: In an interview he said that he had for years led a typical star living with many women and little depth, and Daft Punk have managed it with this emotionally touching song: Touch, where do you lead? I need something more.
The piece begins almost disturbing, and also builds later in a somewhat somber mood on. The mix of electronic sounds and acoustic percussion and piano, wind instruments and guitar is stunning, and even a choir tables the French House pioneers end up on yet to suddenly return to the silent intro. No minute sounds the same.
Get Lucky
The radio hit. And rightly so. After a long time again, an electronic song on the radio, which is not in danger of the mainstream. The title Get Lucky perhaps implicated in some the idea of cheaper feel-good music, but this song is musically the exact opposite, being emotionally really (except the cheap) exactly because one makes it safe: Good mood.
Contact
An original NASA image of Eugene Cernan, Captain of the Apollo 17 mission, in which he speaks of a rotating particle, that's nearby, initiates these six minutes progressive luxury noise from another planet. This particle could be interpreted in the context as a disco ball. A fitting end to a great album.
I hear random access memories now for months up and down and boredom really does not depend on it. This album has been designed for music lovers with genre experimentation. Let it you melt in your ears!
