The French,
electronic, robot duo have put aside their turntables in exchange for
raw instrumentation, taking on a more laid-back disco vibe.
The album takes us back in time to the beginnings of electronic dance music, containing a mixture of slow funky numbers and epic, sprawling synthesizer symphonies that pay tribute to the genre's roots.

Its
good to see that Daft Punk have clung onto their signature vocoder
melodies, and the choruses on this album cannot be faulted for
lacking catchiness, however there feels like a real lack of dynamics and
punchiness, making many of the tracks unsuitable for the current club
scene. Personally, I miss the thumping house beats and choppy
sampling of Homework and Discovery, as I felt they were a vital part
of what made this group so danceable and uniquely groovy. Instead,
Random Access Memories is best served as a pre-drinking
accompaniment. Slip this album on before a night out and unwind to
it.
