Yes. Some nice food and some nice alcohol. Some good friends. Great music to chill out too.
Makes sense. Touch has a certain floydian ambition to it, and Andrew Lloyd Webber stole the main riff from Echoes for Phantom of the Opera.
Paul Williams wrote and sang most of the music for the film Phantom of the Paradise.

You can stream it in itunes on a computer for free in higher quality than the leak.
I think you're referring to a post I made and I stand by it...I didn't necessarily mean that it had to be just like Discovery or Homework..I just feel after listening to this it's evident thats what they're best at doing.
I also don't mind that they tried something new...I said in another post I love all the music from the era they're trying to replicate with this. I knew I what I was getting from the build up of the album with the collaborator videos...the idea/concept of the album sounded good on paper, it's just I think the execution is poor.
yeah maybe they were going for the sound of some random prog pop record from the late 70s you'd find in the dollar bin of a record store but I'd rather listen to that record then Daft Punk attempt to imitate that sound.

Listened to the whole album two more times, then went back and listened to Discovery while relaxing.
To me, RAM's motif now comes across as a melancholy, reflective counterpoint to Discovery. Not truly downbeat, the opening track feels like a statement of purpose. Like someone who is looking back, trying to find themselves, but determined to press on.
It may be disco/motown but there seems to be a redemptive theme of the blues weaving in and out of it.

Heh, that's one of the high points for me. The song is channeling some straight up Elton John/David Bowie vibes which I think totally fits the tone of the rest of the album.

We already know Drake is going to drop a better album, even more obvious now

i feel sad when i agree with ken masters. it's like you shouldn't admit to that in the open.
Drake has been slipping since Gone Too Far.

I was hyped about this, now im very disappointed though...
Giorgio is the only song I consider decent.
The rest remind me of elevator music. I would never pay any attention or be interested in them if i listened to them anywhere and not know it was DP.

Take Care is a modern hip hop classic, basically has had the genre copy him since that release

Knowing that Paul Williams wrote songs for the Muppets, I can hear Kermit singing "Touch."

Opinion: there's some filler, and Contact really needs something at the end, but regardless: this is a great album, a very solid 8.5/10. Not prepared to call it their best, but it certainly beats several shades of snot out of Human After All (which I'd peg at about the 5/10 range).

Here is drake jamming to RAM.
I like drake but this is not true at all currently. He was running the crossover game for a while but he hasn't been nearly as strong recently. I'm interested to see what is going on with his new album.

I had to go to iTunes Store -> Music -> Click Daft Punk promo at the top, taken to a promo splash page with the robots in suits at the top, and there you get a stream promo link. You can't link directly to that promo page, which is what people are trying to do.
The iTunes stream is SOOO much better than the 192 kb leak, just in the the soundstage alone. Much cleaner separation.
ALBUM OF THE DECADE CONFIRMED!
ps. this is why im just done talking about the album, if Discovery was never really recognized for what it was until years later by everyone...
give this time.
Well let's agree to disagree. I feel that by stepping out of their natural element which would have to sampled heavily like they did in Discovery would have been a cop out and the efforts they have labored over bear fruit on this album by giving us something foreign but familiar. I can only hope this album puts the EDM scene on blast and forces producers to approach their future products with even an iota of creativity that went into this album.

Hip hop stands still whenever drake releases a track, he's only released one single so far from his next album and that spawned 100 remixes from everyone is rap
Only kanye and Jay gather the same attention as drake, and neither will outsell him

Open the page and click view in itunes. Do you have itunes installed? I don't see a preview all button.
Edit:
Or do that, I think that's what I did, come to think of it

I will say it's damn funny to have listened to Access All Arenas yesterday and hear Justice morph shamelessly into Alive 2007 Daft Punk. Then today find out Daft Punk stole Justice's 70's crib and gear and jammed.
Doubt it. Pitchfork has a huge feature article coming out tomorrow and P4K never does cover stories for albums they subsequently trash. I'm expecting a 9.0+ and BNM from them.
