Album Notes & Community Reviews
For their final album, Daft Punk abandoned modern EDM production techniques in favor of a lavish, live-instrument tribute to 1970s and 80s American pop music. 'Random Access Memories' features an all-star cast of collaborators including Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, and Giorgio Moroder. It is a warm, nostalgic, and meticulously crafted love letter to the era of disco and soft rock, anchored by the global smash 'Get Lucky'.
