Straight from the French robots’ hard drives to your computer speakers, Random Access Memories is now streaming from iTunes and, well, across the entire internet for that matter.
More than the little snippet of “Give Life Back To Music”, previewed in their latest hype machine video, all 13 tracks are being grooved and moved through the world as we speak. From the funky guitar beats of Nile Rodgers to the sultry piano riffs of Chilly Gonzales and the phasing electronic voices of the robots themselves, the nu-disco album is not only streaming across the internet, but has been reportedly leaked by various electronic music blogs.
The hype this album has garnered may very well be realized upon the full audial session for fans across the world. Daft Punk’s PR is widely recognized as one of the biggest lead up’s to an album in electronic scene, quite possibly ever.
