And it was Daft Punk back to doing what they do best, right? Disco. With a very cool video, depicting the DP robots playing drums and bass, Rodgers grinning like a cheshire cat on guitar, Pharrell singing his heart out, after several listens, it proved catchy as chlamydia and as more-ish as crack. 'Get Lucky', with its two massive guest stars Pharrell Williams (hip-hop and R&B innovator, erstwhile N.E.R.D member and one half of the Neptunes), and Nile Rodgers (guitarist, founder of disco legends Chic, producer extraordinaire to the megastars of pop and general funk overlord), certainly made a big impression, and reactions were overwhelmingly positive.
When we were finally teased online with some scratchy video footage of their new tune 'Get Lucky', broadcast on a big screen at California's Coachella festival, quickly followed by a more official video and several promo clips of interviews with the forthcoming album's host of big name collaborators, social media, blogs, music sites and serious news portals were positively gushing with enthusiasm. My Bloody Valentine might have had the cool kids in a froth with their own return, but no other big comeback has generated as many column inches or as much digital hype as the French duo's. Eight years after their last proper album, if we discount the 'Tron Legacy' soundtrack, arrives Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories'. The insanely-hyped new album from Daft Punk is finally here - but is it any good? DJ Mag review 'Random Access Memories'.
