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为他们的这张成功的回归专辑下了血本，《Random Access Memories》的制作成本超过一百万美元。工夫不负有心人。这次Daft Punk拒绝了商业巅峰时期的平滑的EDM曲风，选择尊崇内心，选择了自己真正喜欢的曲风。他们还预订了世界上屈指可数的口碑一流的录音室来录制此专。迪斯科先锋Nile Rodgers——音乐界的代表人物，还有Pharrell和Panda Bear两位歌手，这些人煞费苦心合作出的歌曲风格涵盖了poppy funk，prog，新浪潮，轻摇，甚至还有口语（电子教主Giorgio Moroder提供）。从整体来看，这张专辑就像来自幻想中的过去，就像过去时候的电子收音机在微微作响。
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献声的“Touch”是全专歌曲中“欲仙欲死”的时刻，Paul Williams因与Barbara Streisand（“十项全能”天后）、the Carpenters（唱“yesterday once more”的）合作而名声大噪。在这首杂乱无章的歌曲里，Williams的声音留有空间——坚固柔情——声音下面除了三角钢琴，什么伴奏都没有了。“Sweet touch, you’ve almost convinced me I’m real（爱抚，我被你说服，我因你真实）”，他如此吟唱，是神秘的二重唱的代言人，提醒着我们音乐也许就这么浅显传情。
