Can someone help me access the stream? I can't find it/figure it out.

Go to Daft Punk's artist page on iTunes on a PC/Mac or iPad
Click the album cover on the right.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Daft Punk are smart. Instead of making an album with samples, they are making an album with barely any of them. Then they will make a new album that samples it, and blow our minds (and load) yet again.

Haha, I listened to the itunes stream with someone offline here, and the first thing I said was "This entire thing is like an intentional garden of eden for remixers."

There's so much raw genetic material for sampling and adaptation.

 

[John Rabbit]

what is this "entry-level" joke people keep repeating? i mean i think i get it, but where did it originate?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Who put les miserables in my daft punk?

 

[Interferon]

There is a lot going on in Touch

Spoiler

it bring it pay it watch it turn it leave it stop format it

The more I listen to RAM, the better it gets.
Motherboard is amazing

I'd like to know this too.

 

[Randdalf]

First song is godly but I don't care much for the rest of the album except Beyond.

 

[Bentendo]

Pretty amazing if you ask me. My favorites:

*Touch (holy shit this is good, GOD DAMN)
*Instant Crush
*Get Lucky
*Beyond

 

[Majine]

It was a guy in a prior DP thread saying they were "Entry-level music". Which is a hilarious term.

 

[Blastoise]

Not a fan of track 4. Within.

And the next track Instant Crush, sounds like an early George Michael single. Don't hate it though.

 

[jett]

I think Doin' it Right is definitely my least liked thing in this album. There's just not much depth to it.

Somebody called Daft Punk entry level music in the Get Lucky thread.

 

[Krev]

Doin' it wrong

Daft Punk are going to be remixing the album themselves, apparently. Said so in a BBC interview with Pete Tong.

 

[Dave Meltzer]

Please credit me with the phrase entry level. Thanks.

 

[enzo_gt]

just started Beyond, the only track that really stood out is Touch so far & i didnt care for the vocals

this is so mellow, its gonna take more listens to know how i really feel. the songs almost feel too clean to me, making them a bit lifeless

I'm sure the KTT Travis Scott-wannabe remixes will fix that for you!

Ah, so it is a trap after all.

It's funny but this is really what they are doing. Daft Punk said in an interview that they are going to remix their own songs. They've only done this for 1-2 songs I believe (in Musique Vol. 1, Alive 2007 doesn't count since it's a live album). So I expect some type of dance/electro remix of RAM. It makes perfect sense since sampling is in their dna.

Then after 2 more albums, they'll release a Musique Vol. 2 album

 

[Delusibeta]

I think the album could be better reshuffled and a couple of tracks trashed. Here's my preferred order:

Game of Love
Instant Crush
Giorgio by Moroder (preferably without the intro monologue)
Touch
Get Lucky
Beyond
Motherboard
Fragments of Time
Doin' It Right
Contact
Give Live Back to Music

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Doing It Right is my shit!

If I was a pro wrassler, that would be my theme.

 

[cacophony]

this might sound ridiculous but this to me feels like if Daft Punk made an adult contemporary album

 

[jtb]

I really liked the Doing it Right snippet (and I like Animal Collective in general) but for some reason the full song just isn't doing it for me.

 

[Solo]

CONTACT!

 

[XAL]

I already have friends who are bitching about it not being an EDM record.

So I says, they made an amazing funk album.

 

[jett]

I really liked the Doing it Right snippet (and I like Animal Collective in general) but for some reason the full song just isn't doing it for me.

It's because the snippet is all there is. It's very repetitive and simple.

 

[My Name Is Luke]

So the spoken part in Giorgio is taken from his Collaborators interview, right?

 

[Dartastic]

Doin' it wrong

Daft Punk are going to be remixing the album themselves, apparently. Said so in a BBC interview with Pete Tong.

Wait when was that? That'll also be awesome. Hah.

 

[Dave Meltzer]

It's because the snippet is all there is. It's very repetitive and simple.

Panda Bear also has a terribly boring voice and does nothing interesting.

 

[Majine]

Doin' it Right is the Technologic of RAM. It's going to be remixed beyond relief.

 

[Fenderputty]

I'm really digging this on my thrid playthrough. I'm even digging Touch now. I'm sort of feeling like "The game of love" and "within" are going to be the filler for me. Both are after rather rockin' tracks too.

 

[bud]

okay, i'm curious about... giorgio.

what's his best work?

 

[Solo]

okay, i'm curious about... giorgio.

what's his best work?

Listen to his Midnight Express score.

Namely, "Chase".

 

[Fenderputty]

this might sound ridiculous but this to me feels like if Daft Punk made an adult contemporary album

This made me laugh. I'm 33, doesn't that make me part of the target audience here?

 

[killertofu]

Screw the haters, Fragments of Time is so damn catchy.

So disco. I need more like this.

 

[John Rabbit]

I already have friends who are bitching about it not being an EDM record.

because it isn't.

 

[javac]

Can't stop listening to Fragments of Time. Love it <3

 

[Antiwhippy]

So far, I can totally see why this would be very polarising.

So far not too sure what I think about it. Need a few more listens.

Honestly though not sure if I like what they did to getting lucky. The extension of the choruses feels out of place.

 

[Solo]

Contact is a goddamn spaceship.

 

[IceCold]

Giorgio is a beast just for this track alone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOSctvrUf24

Tony's Theme.

 

[Toddler]

I think those that feel disappointment get it from the fact that while this album is "original" music, it's not this genre defining masterpiece that Discovery and Homework was.

New rumors of Daft Punk remixing the entire album themselves, along with whatever live interpretations from mixing and sampling it into a set, makes this album shine even brighter for me now. We also have one more "bonus track" that's being released in Japan's version we haven't heard.

 

[Dreaver]

The beginning of Contact reminds me a lot of the beginning of Emotion.

 

[Jitters]

Its so weird when people talk about an album as they listen to it.

 

[Baller. PhD]

How are you guys getting track names from the stream?

Can you not skip around?

 

[bud]

what the hell, he did the soundtrack for scarface?!

 

[Solo]

what the hell, he did the soundtrack for scarface?!

Yep.

 

[Dicer]

okay, i'm curious about... giorgio.

what's his best work?

Juke Joint Jezebel - GM remix

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I think those that feel disappointment get it from the fact that while this album is "original" music, it's not this genre defining masterpiece that Discovery and Homework was.

I'm not saying RAM is perfect or 'genre defining' but I doubt most said Discovery was when it came out.

 

[ultron87]

God damn. This is incredible.

 

[Toddler]

I'm not saying RAM is perfect or 'genre defining' but I doubt most said the same when Discovery came out.

Contrast is a bitch like that...

 

[javac]

Screw the haters, Fragments of Time is so damn catchy.

So disco. I need more like this.

Bro fist. My fave in the whole album. Love it.

 

[MattDoza]

Is the stream really only go to be available for today? Or was that just hot air?

 

[f0rk]

I'm not saying RAM is perfect or 'genre defining' but I doubt most said Discovery was when it came out.

Yeah...
