Thomas Bangalter and Guy de-Homem Christo spent more than a million dollars to make their triumphant comeback record,?Random Access Memories. It showed. In rejection of the frictionless EDM sounds then at their commercial peak, Daft Punk went straight to the source in their quest to revive some of their favorite analog styles. They booked time in a handful of the world’s most renowned studios to record the disco pioneer Nile Rodgers, several hall-of-fame session musicians, and vocalists including Pharrell and Panda Bear, then painstakingly pieced together their work into songs that span poppy funk, prog, new wave, soft-rock balladry, and even spoken word (courtesy of electro godhead Giorgio Moroder). As a whole, the album plays like an eclectic radio transmission beamed in from an imagined past.Thomas Bangalter和Guy de-Homem Christo為他們的這張成功的回歸專輯下了血本，《Random Access Memories》的制作成本超過一百萬美元。工夫不負(fù)有心人。這次Daft Punk拒絕了商業(yè)巔峰時期的平滑的EDM曲風(fēng)，選擇尊崇內(nèi)心，選擇了自己真正喜歡的曲風(fēng)。他們還預(yù)訂了世界上屈指可數(shù)的口碑一流的錄音室來錄制此專。迪斯科先鋒Nile Rodgers——音樂界的代表人物，還有Pharrell和Panda Bear兩位歌手，這些人煞費(fèi)苦心合作出的歌曲風(fēng)格涵蓋了poppy funk，prog，新浪潮，輕搖，甚至還有口語（電子教主Giorgio Moroder提供）。從整體來看，這張專輯就像來自幻想中的過去，就像過去時候的電子收音機(jī)在微微作響。

The highlight remains “Touch,” a psychedelic showstopper sung by ’70s songwriter Paul Williams, best known for his work with Barbara Streisand and the Carpenters. At one point in the intricately arranged song, a space-age choir gives way to Williams’ voice—delicate yet firm—backed by nothing but a grand piano. “Sweet touch, you’ve almost convinced me I’m real,” he muses, a mouthpiece for the mysterious duo who remind us just how tangible music can be. –Noah Yoo

由70年代的作曲家Paul Williams獻(xiàn)聲的“Touch”是全專歌曲中“欲仙欲死”的時刻，Paul Williams因與Barbara Streisand（“十項(xiàng)全能”天后）、the Carpenters（唱“yesterday once more”的）合作而名聲大噪。在這首雜亂無章的歌曲里，Williams的聲音留有空間——堅(jiān)固柔情——聲音下面除了三角鋼琴，什么伴奏都沒有了?！癝weet touch, you’ve almost convinced me I’m real（愛撫，我被你說服，我因你真實(shí)）”，他如此吟唱，是神秘的二重唱的代言人，提醒著我們音樂也許就這么淺顯傳情。
