If there are two things the electronic dance music duo Daft Punk has managed to accomplish in its time in the music industry, it’s the ability to stay both catchy and timeless. With their fourth studio album, Random Access Memories (RAM), Daft Punk continues to prove that it can take sound from any random point in time, place its unique robotic-funky stamp on top, and turn it into pure gold.
With over a decade since the launch of Homework (1997), it’s been a long time coming for the French duo to make their ‘return to form.’ Not every song in RAM captivates the timeless feeling of magic like in their masterpiece album Discovery (2001) and the anthology Musique Vol 1. 1993-2005 (2006), but it does manage to give that next-gen feel while at the same time staying true to the roots that made the group loved by all generations of people.
Random Access Memories has been released globally as of May 2013 and is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, and other platforms.
