Holy crap, I'm excited. Like crazy, super excited. And Daft Punk giving scattered 15 second clips is driving me nuts. Marketing working.

I'm digging the approach to this album:

They began working on Random Access Memories in 2008, in Paris, with no clear plan. "After three records, there was a sense of searching for a record we hadn’t done," Thomas says. The duo were dissatisfied with early demos that leaned heavily on electronic equipment, feeling like they were operating on "autopilot," Thomas says. Eventually, a new approach emerged: "We wanted to do what we used to do with machines and samplers," he explains, "but with people." Except for a snippet of "an Australian rock record" that opens the final track, "Contact," Daft Punk foreswore samples entirely, and they limited the role of drum machines to just two of the album’s thirteen tracks. The only electronics come in the form of a massive, custom-built modular synthesizer that Daft Punk played live on the album, they told me, and an arsenal of vintage vocoders on which they manually manipulated factors like pitch, vibrato and legato. "There’s this thing today where the recorded human voice is processed to try to feel robotic," Thomas says, referring to the undying AutoTune vogue. "Here, we were trying to make robotic voices sound the most human they’ve ever sounded, in terms of expressivity and emotion."

The title captures the duo’s endless fascination with blurs between humans and technology…"We were drawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive – the random way that memories are stored," says Thomas.

…and their endless fascination with the past. 2001’s Discovery was in part a backward-looking concept album about revisiting the funk, disco and soft-rock of Thomas’ and Guy-Manuel’s childhood. For Random Access Memories, they hired "top-notch session players," says Guy-Manuel, with credits on classic records by Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Eric Clapton. Chic mastermind Nile Rodgers played rhythm guitar on a few tracks. "The Seventies and the Eighties are the tastiest era for us," Guy-Manuel says. "And all these guys were tripping on meeting again and playing together again." He adds: "It’s not that we can’t make crazy futuristic sounding stuff, but we wanted to play with the past."

Pretty sure that's fake (as is what was posted earlier). Just sounds like they put the various snippets together with some looping/tweaks.

Guess it could be real, but seems way too easy to fake (and I'd expect more from the actual track).

Though either way, I like listening to it.

Excited for the album. More excited for them to announce some tour dates. Daft Punk and The Knife are 1a and 1b for acts I haven't seen live yet that I must before I die. Will hopefully have a chance to knock both of them out sometime within the next year!

Sad thing is they won't tour for this album

Read an article that said they'll only tour when they have finished making music...

I thought the original source for that info (some French Radio Station) ended up playing the fake song, so not sure if that info is true. I hope it is!

But I always end up disappointed when Daft Punk rumors are involved (see Coachella, SXSW, etc.).
