Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories” was released in 2013, and it 2021 they announced they they had disbanded but listening through this album it’s clear that, this was ALWAYS going to be their last album. While their 2001 album “Discovery” has a ton of samples, and comes to a head on the song “Face to Face” where they’re essentially playing like 8 different sampled as it’s own instrument Random Access Memories mirrors that with Daft Punk sampling… humans.

I know that “Sampling Humans” sounds like a horror movie, but stick with me, we’re gonna unpack this ENTIRE album, all 14 tracks YES 14! There’s a bonus track that you may not have heard and see how this album is a masterpiece about love, music, humanity, robots, looking back on their career, and blasting off into new… Horizons.

Take a seat and relax, we’ve got a LOT to talk about. Let’s start from the top.
