EPTThe radio edit just released is a bit disappointed. The synths towards the end are a bit of abummer, and it's just too short compared to the actual length of the song. Bit disappointed in it, but it's still an awesome song. A bit too much Rodgers and Williams though, would love to see a bit more Daft Punk.

I was underwhelmed by that TRON soundtrack. | ||

Today it played on the radio and, well, at least it is better than most of the other stuff. | ||

"There was a sense of searching for a record we hadn't done," Bangalter said. The breakthrough came when they started experimenting with live musicians and "[recreating] what we used to do with machines and samplers, but with people". While Daft Punk still use vintage vocoders and a custom modular synth, the record has hardly any samples. "[We tried] to make robotic voices sound the most human they've ever sounded, in terms of expressivity and emotion." Accordingly, lots of musicians became involved. Besides the big names like Nile Rodgers, Pharrell, the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Giorgio Moroder and Panda Bear, the Frenchmen procured "top-notch session players". "All these guys were tripping on meeting again and playing together again," said De Homem-Christo. Although Kanye West does not appear on Random Access Memories, Daft Punk have worked with the Stronger rapper on his new record. "He's a good friend," De Homem-Christo said. By working with real people, in real studios, Daft Punk said they hope to shake up the complacent genre of EDM. "Today, electronic music is made in airports and hotel rooms, by DJs traveling," Bangalter said. "It has a sense of movement, maybe, but it's not the same vibe as going into these studios that contain specific things … You hear a song – whose track is it? There's no signature." Source Sounds disappointing for those of you that want more of a "robotic" or "synth" sound. | ||

Well, admittedly another part of it was that from a hype follower point of view, almost all of the material in the radio edit was shown in ads etc. I wasn't too excited about the vocals, which is about all that was added. So those of us who expected something new in the single are of course a bit disappointed. The big thing I'm really missing is more of Rodgers, as teased by the collab vids but cut in the radio edit... | ||

"We've come too far To give up who we are So let's raise the bar And our cups to the stars" really speak to what they were trying to do. I think its a great first showing of their new work and while its not like old Daft Punk I am very excited to see what they did now. | ||

Without the comma it sounds like you are saying that you enjoy getting, or are often, shit on. This is apposed to the assumed meaning, which is supposed to express that you are awesome... | ||

I'll probably like them more than Daft Punk's original. Hoping I'm wrong here when the full song gets released. Meh I knew I wouldn't like it. I'm looking forward to future fan-made mixes of the song w/o Pharell. Also looking forward to the other songs in DP's album. | ||
