Daft Punk - RAM2013-05-21T18:06:09+00:00i fully expect to see a 10 piece live band when they tour (well one can hope)
here's a google translated mini review i did on my first real listen
Daft Punk RAM mini review, first listening with high frequencies (i listened to the stream once, but it sounded shit compared to the real deal, I preferred to wait until tonight)
give life back to music: the radio will love it
big fat drums, I love
the game of love: mmmm, pedal steel
hummm i would have avoided the vocoder (you could have a human for this one)
giorgio: masterpiece, nothing else to say on this one
within: what a beautiful transition from acoustic to electric
moment crush: it sounds like a pearl jam tune post vitalogy,
such a shame to have put an autotuned vocal so ugly on a beautiful track, beautiful passes after the middle, so would be able to clean a voice at the beginning instead of sounding like shit
Loose yourself: fat drums,
the vocal harmonies of the chorus are reminiscent of Opus: life is life,
beautiful solo vocoder
kraftwerk are with their vocoder harmonies on the disc (autobahn)
touch: is the pink floyd and tron in the intro
a penis has happened? lol,
my god the middle section with the brass is so 60's (sounds like it's from meddle or atom earth mother)
one of the best on the disc
get lucky: a club with tile floor illuminated
beyond: the intro sounds like the soundtrack of a pirates movie in technicolor
always beautiful vocoder, but it become boring always the same sound carrier
this is the beautiful pedal steel
motherboard: mmmm, an orchestra
genial
wow really just track the coast, also in my best
and drums with percussionist, fat groove
fragments of time: pure 1970's with some pretty nifty y2k slicing of the audio tracks
oh yeah! talkbox solo!
doing it right: Yee a 2nd vocoder sound
ha ha, an 808 (first track with beatbox)
natural voice I imagine four guys following white barber shop style lol (or new kids on the block lol)
Contacts: So like the crew of Apolo 11 sees UFO
beautiful sound moog, wendy carlos would be proud
rock on! bitch!
what a final!
stray observations:
I understand the title, it really is full of memories and random references
Finally, a daft punk album we can play at a family dinner lol
these drummers are tight (it's worth a lot to all tracks)
at least 5 radio hits, and 4-5 tunes for less radio loving peeps like me, really, just one song i find really bad(and it would be great if it wasn't for the shitty autotune job(i think it's melodyne, i heard some revealing artifacts)
I feel we will see a resurgence of music with music and instruments in the coming months, ca can not be bad
good mastering, not tiring to listen, super good dynamic compared to everything that is out those days
final verdict of the first listening: 8/10 and it's going to play in my bus commute often, especially the instrumentalsMuzik 4 Machineshttps://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=9550
