I am astounded by this new album. I totally lost my mind when I found out that Daft Punk were signed to Columbia AND they got to collaborate with Giorgio Moroder. Giorgio goddamn Moroder. I love vintage disco. I love the kind of funky stuff you'd see on Soul Train. It's been a long time since the business has seen or heard this type of thing, and Daft Punk have successfully resuscitated Euro disco. It's electronic, but it's ... organic. It's not 100% computerized nothingness.
I was really skeptical at first because I couldn't understand why Daft Punk would be releasing a new album; I thought "what could they possibly do that they haven't done before?" but I'm very pleased with this album. I think it'll be part of our record collection someday soon.
