One of the really great music videos of all time is 'Around the world' from Daft Punk and based on the work of artist Escher. If you haven't seen it, be amazed...
Random Access Memories is the band's fourth Album from 2013 although it reflects a very 70's vibe. 70's legend, Giorgio Moroder features on the record as does Nile Rodgers from 'Chic'. Pharrell Williams is also here to give it a contemporary feel and the single, 'Get Lucky' is very 'him' (he's on vocals too).
But this is Electronic Disco.
Daft Punk have said that they were looking for a 'Steely Dan' and a 'Dark Side of the Moon/Rumours' sound and that's what they got. Superbly produced and great songwriting, it's a classic.
Mind you too, if you like this you'll love their earlier 'Discovery' Album which is probably as good from 2001. If not, better.
This Album won a Grammy but not just that, it has received massive critical acclaim. Rightly so too, it's one to play for sure when you want to feel good.
