Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have, needless to say, predominated over the music news for the duration of this past month or so, even making deathly black headlines in the wake of the untimely demise of sporadic collaborator Anthony Moore, aka Romanthony. The vocalist eminently immortalised on what remains arguably their most stellar hit to date in One More Time, it therefore feels somewhat fitting that the truly blinding instances of galactic brilliance here compiled should be those which feature the multifarious, if in some cases questionable vocal talents of contemporary players from Julian Casablancas, to Noah Lennox.

Nearly a decade after their last studio release, Human After All, the French electronic music duo Daft Punk have released their fourth studio album, Random Access Memories. We heard the first single from the LP back in April with "Get Lucky," and the album brings us twelve additional outstanding tracks, including two songs featuring the great Pharrell Williams. Stream "Instant Crush," as well as "Lose Yourself to Dance" and "Doin' It Right," then grab the entire LP via the iTunes link below. More from Random Access Memories: Website // Facebook

Music that preys on your nostalgia is a dangerous thing. Too often these types of songs rely not on a musician's talent, but your own memories, thus letting other artists do the heavy lifting. So, it's surprising to see Daft Punk , two of the most forward thinking musicians out there, return after an eight-year absence (not counting Alive 2007 or the Tron: Legacy soundtrack) with something that looks backwards instead of to the future. From its very title, Random [...]

Today marks the highly anticipated return of the electronic juggernaut that is Daft Punk . For the first time since the underwhelming Tron: Legacy soundtrack three years ago, the French duo has taken seemingly their best shot at redemption and succeeded with the release of Random Access Memories. With guest appearances by the likes of Pharrell Williams , Julian Casablancas , and Panda Bear (among others) throughout, this album has star power to compliment the regularly instrumental tracks giving us hits from top to bottom. While electronic instrumentals are not my normal cup of tea, the opening track "Give [...]

Random Access Memories has been echoing in the metallic domes of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo since their work on 20082s Tron: Legacy soundtrack. The sheer number of collaborations on RAM , including noted movie composers Paul Williams and Giorgio Moroder, finds Daft Punk building upon their new-flesh narrative, adding to their storied, cinematic mythos of the diminishing boundary between computers and people. What sort of film is this? Bangalter has shared that the band is “[D]rawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive – the random way that memories are stored.” This tale of robots [...]

Daft Punk: Random Access Memories - It seems like that for the past 7 or 8 years the whole landscape of popular music has been trying to cash in on the Euro-House aesthetic that Daft Punk created. The most obvious example would be Kanye West sampling 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger', but you can see the influence everywhere. Will.I.Am even convinced the Biebs to sing a few bars of Daft Punk for one of his latest singles. Yes, everyone has been trying really hard to sound like Daft Punk, except for Daft Punk apparently. For better or [...]

Het album waar ik het meest naar uitkeek dit jaar is zonder enige twijfel de nieuwe van Daft Punk . Na de studioalbums Homework , Discovery , en Human After All , de soundtrack van Tron Legacy en twee livealbums is het inmiddels het zevende album dat (vanaf volgende week) te krijgen is. Eergisteren lekte het album uit en was het te beluisteren op itunes, grooveshark en op andere plekken. En dit vind ik er van. Het album is Disco met een hoofdletter D. Niet zo vreemd, want koning Disco Nile Rodgers, [...]
The reasons why Daft Punk ’s long awaited return to studio output has ended in disappointment are manifold. The expectation, for one thing, has been mesmeric. Not helped in the least by teaser trailers, promo spots, YouTube videos or the release of the painfully good ‘Get Lucky’. Aside from this, Daft Punk’s own genius hasn’t helped at all either. Their back catalogue is a testament to creativity and innovation and even a couple of clunkers in there can’t stop people returning to the well. Or, perhaps, it is the high watermark they set with Alive [...]

Daft Punk 's Random Access Memories doesn't drop until May 21st. With the free streaming on iTunes and early leaks, who couldn't resist on listening to the long awaited album. I think this track has gotten people talking. It is their track Instant Crush which features Julian Casablancas of The Strokes . Instant Crush reminds me of their Discovery's Something About Us with it's slow mellow disco-y dance pop track. Anyways have a listen Instant Crush .

After weeks of hinting, teasing, rumours and all the rest. Daft Punk have now officially released the first single Get Lucky off of their much anticipated new album Random Access Memories . Collaborating with R&B star Pharrell Williams on vocals, the track surely does bring the party and shows that the band have really not "lost it" in the time between their last studio album in 2007. This is old skool funk at it's best and after listening to it ourselves, we can only say how excited we are at Critical Wave [...]

Cada vez estamos más cerca de Random Access Memories , el esperado nuevo trabajo de Daft Punk que se editará el próximo 21 de mayo. Luego de haber adelantado pequeños fragmentos de canciones y una extensa lista de invitados , ahora la banda entregó la lista de temas que compondrán el disco. El disco contará con 13 tracks y como venimos adelantando, el álbum viene acompañado con una interesantísima lista de invitados que incluye a [...]
UPDATE: Columbia Records/Daft Punk confirm the tracklist with the following Vine: We haven't been exposed to a single yet, but now we can fantasize about Daft Punk's Random Access Memories through its recently unveiled tracklist. The 13-song list features titles like “Give Life Back to Music,” “Lose Yourself to Dance,” and “Motherboard.” The list of collaborators is also a little more congested than we previously thought. Joining the robots on their highly anticipated album are the likes of Panda Bear, The Strokes' Julian Casablancas and [...]
