RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES




Draft Punk have been gone for a while. Too long! Although, maybe this is a good thing. It has made anyone and everyone realise how much we love them.

This new album is something completely different. The duo have managed to go back to disco and create an album that is an electronically chilled masterpiece. 

From the success of "Get Lucky" we all knew only good things were coming from this album. "Lose yourself to dance" is the second collaboration with Pharrell and Nile Rodgers. Both tracks may be the most poppiest of the selection, but are both instant classics. 

I think the winning track has to go to "Beyond". For me this track sums up Daft Punk and the album to a tee. "Touch" is also cracking, but has a very different feel to it. Apparently composer Paul Williams was a main collaborator on both tracks (composer for the Muppets) which makes me love the two songs, just that little bit more. 

"Instant Crush" is the perfect second single. Considering the amount of remixes that followed the release of "Get Lucky" I am far to excited to see what comes next.
