May 21, 201312 yr I can see why they'd release Lose Yourself To Dance, but at the same time that would be disappointing as its EXACTLY the same vocalist which is more than a little bit lazy! Instant Crush would be a far better choice and I'm still sure it would be a hit.
May 22, 201312 yr I was assuming 'Lose Yourself to Dance' would be the next single at first, because it was the most immediately accessible album track on first listen, but I'm coming round to the idea that 'Instant Crush' would be a better choice. LYTD probably wouldn't convince anyone to buy the album who hadn't already been tempted by 'Get Lucky'.
May 22, 201312 yr The Japanese bonus track "Horizon" has leaked in all its glory.....beautiful guitar and synth driven instrumental!! <<3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWYzQ1eNaOc
May 22, 201312 yr It's frightfully repetitive though - not that that ever stopped people going mental for a Daft Punk single before. Edited May 22, 201312 yr by AnthonyT
May 22, 201312 yr I think Thom was taking the mick out of Anthony for banging on about his 180g (gram, I'd good quality) vinyl. Mine didn't come yet, but I saw the labels, nearly squeed seeing the classic red/yellow/black Columbia design. Oh. Thanks Tom. Whoosh at me. Quite loving RAM so far, though I really dislike the talking bit on Giorgio By Moroder even if the rest is funky.
May 22, 201312 yr Oh. Thanks Tom. Whoosh at me. Quite loving RAM so far, though I really dislike the talking bit on Giorgio By Moroder even if the rest is funky. At least he's not talking all through the track!
May 23, 201312 yr Erm, it's Giorgio fucking Moroder. Even if he was reading the phone book it'd still be the voice of a genius.
May 23, 201312 yr This album is amazing, it tails off for me personally towards the end but the first 8 or 9 tracks are varying shades of genius, with such wide appeal. My mum heard me listening to it earlier and asked to borrow it. It's going to be one of those 21-esque albums which isn't perfect but is excellent and will sell by the bucketload because it's well produced, incredibly melodic throughout with a 'classic' feel and has vast crossover appeal. Giorgio By Moroder is probably my favourite album track thus far, incredible.
May 23, 201312 yr This album is amazing, it tails off for me personally towards the end but the first 8 or 9 tracks are varying shades of genius, with such wide appeal. I agree. My daughter, almost 18, was upstairs when I got home from Tesco and played it yesterday and asked to borrow it too. It does tail off a bit after Get Lucky but the first 7 or 8 tracks are brilliant. After two more plays this morning, still my favies are Get Lucky and Doin' It Right.
May 23, 201312 yr Madness - Motherboard and Contact after Get Lucky and are great - when you get into them.
May 23, 201312 yr Erm, it's Giorgio fucking Moroder. Even if he was reading the phone book it'd still be the voice of a genius. Regardless of who he is I still don't like that bit of the song.
May 23, 201312 yr I like it, especially when he gets to the 'click' bit. I still maintain it's misplaced on the album and should be near the end but it's definitely one of the strongest tracks for me.
May 24, 201312 yr The jury is still out for me on this. It's an incredibly ambitious album but I also find the whole thing overbaked, self-indulgent and sometimes irritating. I prefer Daft Punk at 3am and banging! There are some proper WOW! bits, but at worse I feel like I'm in an elevator in a 5 star elevator in New York, circa 1979. Maybe after a few more listens the whole album will come together but the fact everyone has a strong reaction to this is surely a good thing!
June 24, 201312 yr Really clever video showing Get Lucky as it might have sounded if created in different decades, from the 1920s to the future! 3r3BOZ6QQtU
June 27, 201312 yr Wow ^ thats amazing!! This guys has done all those himself?! Shame the ending is in french, but this is really impresive :o Needs more views
June 27, 201312 yr https://soundcloud.com/socialenginear/get-lucky-dronemix bearing no resemblence to the original. An astonishing ethereal remix, nearly 2 hours long.
June 27, 201312 yr Why have people gone so mad about Daft Punk this time around. Get Lucky pales into insignificance besides any Nile Rogers produced track from the late 70s/80s. Just listen to the truly glorious Upside Down or the first four tracks from that Sister Sledge album. Still I suppose it gives old Nile another decent payday. This record is as bad/backwards looking as any bunch of lumpen fools furiously trying to recreate guitar music that will sell reconstructed from the debris of The Beatles/Britpop/postpunk. And as for the track Fragments in Time, that is just plain embarrassing.
